This feature is only available for CareerPlug Pro and Premium Plan subscribers and applies only to organic job postings.
CareerPlug automatically shares your organic job postings to all major job boards, including Indeed, ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, and Google. However, organic job postings naturally lose visibility over time. After 90 days, your organic job posting will enter a Refresh status and begin to disappear from job boards.
Maintaining the quality and visibility of your job postings is one of our top priorities. Based on updated job board best practices as of March 2024, the Refresh feature for organic job postings is no longer available until a job has been posted for 90 days. If you want to enhance the visibility of any job older than 90 days (or between days 31 and 90), we recommend sponsoring your job.
Note: While it may be tempting to close and repost a job to avoid waiting 90 days to refresh it, doing so will put your job visibility in jeopardy. Per Indeed, reposted content is not suitable for organic visibility and may result in reduced visibility, removal of job posts from search results, required sponsorship, or even account termination.

How to repost jobs more than 90 days old
If you've got a job that's been around for at least 90 days, we recommend taking the following steps to repost your job instead of refreshing it.
- Turn your existing job posting into a job template
- Create a new job posting using your job template
- Transfer applicants from your old job posting to your new job
- Close your old job posting
Turn your existing job posting into a job template
If the job you want to refresh already exists as a job template, skip to the next section — Create a new job posting using your job template.
1. Navigate to your Jobs page.
2. Find the job you want to refresh on the job boards and click the Edit button to the right.
3. Click on the Posting Status tab.
4. Turn on the Create Job Template toggle.
5. Click the Update Job Post button.
Create a new job posting using your job template
1. Navigate to your Jobs page.
2. Click the New Job button in the upper right corner and select Use a Job Template.
3. Select the job template you just created (or, if a template already exists, the template that matches the 90+ day old job posting you want to refresh).
4. Click the Create Job button.
5. Review your job template and ensure it matches the job you want to post. If you have any placeholder text in your job templates, make sure you replace or remove it before posting your job, or it might be flagged by job boards and lose visibility. When you're ready, click the Post Job button.
Transfer applicants from your old job posting to your new job
1. Navigate to your Applicants page.
2. Click the checkbox to the left of each applicant from your old job posting.
3. Click the Transfer button on the left side of the screen.
4. Select the job to which you wish to transfer the applicants, map the hiring steps (if necessary), and then click the Confirm button.
You will see a notification in the bottom right corner of the page when your transfer is successful.
