Closing a job posting can be important to do to ensure you only have open/relevant job postings listed and to prevent candidates from applying to erroneous job listings. You can close a job posting either manually or automatically by setting a closed date.
You can also delete a job posting if the job posting has a status of "Open" or "On-Hold" if the job posting was created erroneously.
Candidate information is retained for closed or deleted jobs. Candidate information can be referred to from your candidate pool or from the closed job posting.
