How do I repost or reopen a job?

Reposting or bumping active jobs:

Betterteam does not automatically repost, or "bump", your job posts — and posting the same role a second time to get it in front of new candidates is not advisable.

If a job has been open for a while and isn't bringing in the candidates you need, update the job you already have instead of creating a new one. Open it and take the time to freshen up the title or the job post copy — this may help target additional candidates who did not respond to the old wording.

We suggest reading this article for more tips on how to increase the response rate on your jobs.

Reopening closed jobs:

If the job is currently closed you can click the Reopen Job button, make any edits in the editor, and publish it again — no matter how old it is. This is not the same as posting a new job — it will be seen as an old job that has been updated, and your changes get syndicated out to our network of job boards.

Should I repost or reopen a job?

Reopen it, or edit it if it's still open. Reopening always updates your existing job post in place rather than creating a new one — even for a job that's been closed for a long time, it stays the same job post instead of becoming a second one.

Posting a brand-new job for a role you have already advertised is the thing to avoid — it is not advisable, and it won't do more for you than refreshing the post you already have. Create a new job post when the role itself is new, or when it has changed enough to be a genuinely different job.

Should I change the wording in the job post when I reopen it?

If you are not attracting enough candidates it is usually due to the job title being obscure or the content not resonating with candidates. Spend some time reading this article on how to write a great job post and incorporate some of the tips into your refreshed job post.
