How do I repost or reopen a job?

Reposting or bumping active jobs over 30 days old:

Betterteam does not automatically repost, or "bump", your job posts. If you have had a job open for more than one month then we recommend closing it and posting a new job. Also take the time to update the title or job post copy to freshen it up as this may help target additional candidates who did not see the old job.

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

Reopening closed jobs under 30 days old:

If the job is currently closed (and recent enough) you can click the Reopen Job button, make any edits in the editor, and publish it again. 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?

If the job has been closed for a long time we recommend posting a brand new job rather than reopening an old one — it will be seen as a new job and reach more candidates. Betterteam now handles this for you: when you reopen a job that's too old to refresh, the editor's final button changes to Create New Job and posts it as a fresh job instead of updating the old one. Just be careful not to repost recent jobs too frequently, as some job board partners treat that as a policy violation.

Should I change the wording in the job post when I repost?

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 reposted job.
