• Employer Branding – Including your company logo in your job ad will help it stand out in search results and make it more memorable to candidates.

Edit – make changes to your job, any changes made will take approximately 2 hours to go live. Making edits are free of charge unless you add additional regions, categories, or enhancements on the second page. 

Renew – post your job again, this will use an additional credit. If your active job has auto-refresh, it automatically appears as newly posted on the date of the refresh cycle. Performance data will stay tied to the job regardless of how many times it was renewed. 

Copy – copy your job to post a new version of it, this option allows you to reset the performance and get brand new statistics. 

Expire – if you have found the ideal candidate and no longer need applications, expire the role. This option is preferred to setting a custom expiry date. 

Archive – if you no longer have use for the job, archive it. These jobs will be grouped into the same view and you won’t confuse them with recently expired roles. 

Alongside the job actions, you can always see performance data. Views and applies will indicate how your job is performing.
