When you've filled a position and need to end your hiring process, you should close the job posting. Closing a job will remove it from job boards and your careers page.

How do I close a job posting?
1. Navigate to your Jobs page.
2. Find the job you want to close and click the Close button to the right.
3. Choose whether to deactivate all applicants who have applied to this job from the Deactivate drop-down menu.
4. Choose a rejection reason from the Select rejection reason drop-down menu. The rejection reason is for internal use only and will not be seen by applicants.
5. To send a rejection letter to your applicants — which we strongly recommend — turn on the Send rejection letter toggle.
6. Choose a rejection letter template from the Select template drop-down menu.
7. Click the Close Job button.
Note: You can view any deactivated applicants on the Inactive tab of your Applicants page.
Can I pause a job posting?
There is no way to pause a job posting in CareerPlug. However, if you need to temporarily slow applicant flow to a job so you have the time to evaluate your current applicants before accepting any more, we recommend setting your job's status to passive. A passive job posting is only advertised on your careers page as a future opening.
To make your job posting passive:
1. Navigate to your Jobs page.
2. Click the Edit button to the right of the job you want to make passive.
3. Click the Posting Status tab.
4. Select Careers Pages Only as the job post status.
5. Click the Update Job Post button.
Your job will now appear as "Future Opening" on your careers page.
