If you read this article, you probably face one of the following situations:
- You need to prepare a job posting and make sure it is posted on a certain day
- You have restrictions on how long a job is allowed to be published and therefore want to limit/shorten the run duration of a job
In either case, you can easily provide information about the date the job will be published and also how long the job will be online. To do so, follow these steps:
- Sign in to your employer account
- Go to the job posting wizard by selecting the “Post a job” link in the header menu or the button “Add job” button within the Job Manager (menu on the left side).
- Choose a type:
Click on "Add job via template", "Add job via file" or "Add job via link". - Insert a job description:
- Under "Job Schedule" you can schedule the job posting for a future date.
- Publishing date: By default the publishing date is today. You can freely change the date to a date in the future.
- Days online maximum value: By default, the job duration that is set for the site is the maximum value allowed on the job board (the standard runtime of job postings on that job board). You can adapt the days online to a value smaller than the default job duration.
Based on the start date and the days online, the job end date will be calculated and displayed in the text string below the "Days online" field.
5. Complete the job checkout process
Republishing workflow
When you republish a job, the publishing date will default to "today". It is possible to configure the publishing date and job duration (see above).
Editing a job
When you edit a published job the publishing date and job duration fields are read-only and not editable. If you need to make changes here, please reach out to the site administrator.
Needs review workflow
If the "needs review" feature is active and the start date is set earlier than the review happens, the job will be published when a site admin sets it from needs review to publish.
Note: The employer will not lose a public day.
