Automatically close job postings once a defined application or hiring limit is reached. This helps in preventing unnecessary applications and controlling candidate inflow.
Steps to Configure Auto-Close Settings:
-
Access Job Creation or Edit Page
- Navigate to Jobs from the left panel.
- Click Create Job or Edit an existing job.
-
Scroll to ‘Job Settings’ Section
- Find the section labeled Job Settings, usually at the bottom of the job creation form.
-
Enable Auto-Close Toggle
- Turn ON the Auto-Close Job toggle to activate this feature.
-
Define Auto-Close Criteria
You can set one or both of the following thresholds:- Maximum Number of Applications: The total number of applications received before the job is closed.
- Maximum Number of Candidates Hired: Once this number of hires is recorded, the job is automatically unpublished.
-
Save the Job Settings
- Click Save or Publish Job to make the settings effective.
What Happens Next:
-
Once any of the limits are met:
- The job posting will be unpublished from the career page.
- Applications via job boards or internal referrals will also be blocked.
Best Practices:
- Set application limits for high-volume roles.
- Use candidate hired limit for specialized positions with specific headcount.
