The statuses of the job postings can be changed by clicking on the job title and on the right-hand side of the screen there will be a “Status” option with a pencil next to it. All job statuses can be changed except when a job is closed. Once it is closed, it will need to be reposted utilizing the steps on how to post a job.

These are the different job statuses that can be selected for invidiuals:

  • Open
  • On-Hold
