Whether you have several jobs to post, have an older job that is in need of a face-lift, or have filled the position and are ready to close the job listing, Eddy makes it easy.
Availability: The Eddy Hiring add on is required to access this feature.
Ensuring that your active job posting stays up-to-date increases visibility, instills confidence in job seekers regarding the current status of the post, and boosts the chances of attracting more candidates.
Note: Changes to your job in Eddy may take up to 6 hours to be reflected on job boards, and may take longer to appear on the respective site based on the discretion of the board.
Refreshing an Active job:
Eddy suggests updating an active job listing every 30-45 days to maintain its relevance. Refreshing too frequently may signal to job boards that the listing is suspicious. Conversely, jobs older than 45 days may be challenging for job seekers to find and may be dismissed as outdated or forgotten.
The following steps capitalize on the work you have already done so you don't have to start from scratch to refresh a job listing. These steps can also be taken if multiple job details are the same for several different jobs, however, it is highly advised the job title and description always remain unique.
- Navigate to the Hiring tab and click on the three-dot menu located on the far right of the specific job you want to update. From the dropdown menu, select Duplicate job.
2. In the pop-up card, rename the New job title something slightly different (i.e instead of Front Desk Reception, try Receptionist - Front Desk) and make any necessary changes to the Hiring Manager.
Notice the extensive bulleted list of job details that will also be duplicated. This is where most admins save time instead of creating each job from scratch. Changes can be made to these details either before (see step 4 below) or after it is published by editing the job details.
Once changes have been made, click Save at the bottom of the card to save it as a draft job.
Note: Failure to rename the job title before it is published could result in being flagged by the job boards for posting duplicates. This can result in this and future jobs being blocked from job boards.
3. Navigate to the Draft Job tab in the center of the Hiring page. The newly duplicated job should be at the top of the list.
4. Click on the job title and review each step of the job posting to publish it. If you did not have success finding candidates the first time, you may wish to modify the job description or the information you're collecting in the application.
When you're ready to re-post the job, click the Post Job button on the last step of the flow.
You now have 2 active job listing for the same job.
5. Immediately archive the older active job; check the publish date to make sure the newly published job is the one to remain active. The most recent job listing will always be displayed at the top of the list.
Candidates will not be transferred from the archived job to the refreshed job, but can be manually moved if desired.
