To close a vacancy, click on the three dots next to job title, then select ‘Close’ from the drop-down menu. Closing a vacancy removes it from your career site, but keeps it in Sterndesk. There are two main reasons why you should close a vacancy:
When deleting the vacancy is not an option. If applicants have already responded to the vacancy, deleting it is no longer possible. This is to protect applicant data, as deleting the vacancy would also remove all related information.
If you plan to use the vacancy again in the future. If you want the vacancy to be temporarily hidden, or if you need it hidden but still want to access or reuse the text later, closing it is the best option. The vacancy will remain stored in Sterndesk, allowing you to reopen it whenever needed without rewriting the job post. To make it visible again, simply click ‘Open’, which will replace the ‘Close’ option once the vacancy is closed.
