System behavior

  • Types of statuses
    The following types of statuses are available:
    • Active (green): For job postings where you want to receive applications.
      You can set the job opening status by pressing the Activate button. Publications can be displayed externally.
    • Inactive (red): For job postings that are still being edited but are no longer advertised externally.
      You can set the job opening status by pressing the Deactivate button. If you want to stop publications and already have enough applicants, "Inactive" is the status you should choose. Publications can no longer be displayed or are deactivated.
    • Archived (gray): For job postings that have been filled or where the hiring process has been discontinued.
      You can set the job opening status by pressing the Archive button. If the button is grayed out, the job opening cannot be archived. Hovering over the button will provide an explanation. Job openings in this status no longer appear in the applicant overview.
  • Display of the status
    The status of the job opening is also displayed in the publication as an icon before the title of the job opening.
  • Publications
    Only active job openings have active publications. In the Inactive or Archived status, publications are no longer displayed externally.
  • Archiving rules
    • A job opening can only be archived if all applications are in a final status.
    • The deletion periods for applications continue to run on the archived job opening.
    • Archived job openings are hidden in the system by default.
  • Activation and deactivation
    In the job opening overview previously inactive job openings can be activated using the green play icon or deactivated using the red pause icon.
  • Filtering
    • The job opening overview is pre-filtered. Only job openings with the Active and Inactive statuses are displayed initially. To also display archived job openings, the filter must be removed.
    • In the application search, you can filter by the statuses of the job opening.
  • Reporting
    By creating an Excel raw data report with the data "Job openings," you can evaluate how many publications were in the various job opening statuses in the system at a given time.
