A job always has a workflow state, which impacts its visibility on the frontend.
A site admin is able to change the job to any state. A recruiter can only follow certain state transitions according to the job checkout and publishing workflow.

| Needs review |
The job checkout has been completed, but the system is configured that every job needs approval by the site administrator before being published (e.g. used for job import if jobs from feeds should not go automatically live). It's also possible to configure that self-service jobs, i.e. jobs posted directly by recruiters, require a review. A job in the state "Needs review" is only accessible by admins and the owner organisation. A job with the "Needs review" state:
|
| Active |
The job is published (accessible to everyone on the www) and open for job applications. An "Active" job posting is a job that:
|
| Inactive |
The expiration date has been reached, therefore the job is removed from the search, Google/other search engines, and the applications are closed. A landing page is still accessible via a URL but has a warning that the job has expired. Moreover, per default, only the first few lines of the job description are shown. The job is not indexed and does not have any metadata info. An inactive job can't be automatically republished anymore, only manually by admins. The job is no longer available to the outside, but instead of being deleted, the content is kept (e.g. for referencing job applications or for re-publishing at a later time). The importer will set the jobs to inactive if it is removed from the feed. Jobs in the "Inactive" state:
To republish a job, it has to be edited and the user needs to confirm the "Publish" action again. |
| Archived |
Once a job disappears from an XML importer, it will receive the status “Archived”. If the same job reappears in the feed, it will be set to "Active" again.
Jobs in the "Archived" state:
