Editing or closing a job
Every field on a job is editable after creation. This article covers what is safe to change and the one operation (closing) that needs deliberate thought.
Key takeaways
- All job fields are editable any time — Title, JD, skills, duration, interview mode.
- Editing the JD or skills *after* candidates have interviewed does NOT re-score them.
- *Close Job* stops new candidates and new invites but keeps existing data. Re-open at any time.
- Duplicate a job (overflow menu) to fork a near-identical role without retyping.
Before you start
You created a job, candidates have started flowing through, and now you want to change something. This article covers what's safe to change, what propagates, and the two terminal actions: Close and Delete.
How to edit
What propagates and what does not
Propagates to future interviews:
- Job title, location, employment type — informational fields, no AI impact
- JD text, Required and Preferred skills — used by the AI for interview-plan generation
- Experience level, years required — used by the AI for scoring expectations
- Interview duration and mode
- Cultural values
Does NOT retroactively change:
- Evaluations of already-completed interviews
- Profile scores of resumes already parsed under the old JD
- Interview plans that have already generated (each candidate's plan locks against the JD as it was at invitation time)
TIP
If you discover your JD was misleading and several candidates have already interviewed against it, the right move is *not* to re-score them. Use your own judgement when reviewing those evaluations, and write a brief team note explaining the JD changed.
Closing a job
Click Close Job in the header. The status changes to Closed. Effects:
- No new candidates can be added to the job.
- Existing invitations remain valid — candidates who already got an invite can still take their interview.
- You can re-open at any time (same button, now labelled Re-open).
Deleting a job
Overflow menu → Delete. This is irreversible. Use it only if the job was created in error. If a real role just isn't hiring right now, close it instead — closed jobs preserve all the data and can be re-opened next quarter.
Next: configuring the assessment-call settings on a job for live technical sessions.
Frequently asked questions
If I edit the JD, does the AI re-score completed interviews?
No. Evaluations lock against the JD as it was *at interview time*. Editing the JD afterwards only affects *future* interviews. This is by design — recruiters should be able to refine a JD without invalidating historical scoring.
What's the difference between Close Job and Delete Job?
Close keeps the job in the system but stops accepting new candidates/invites. You can re-open at any time. Delete is irreversible — gone forever. Always Close first; only Delete if the job was created by mistake.
Can I clone a job to save typing?
Yes — overflow menu (three dots) on the job detail page → *Duplicate job*. Creates a draft copy with all fields prefilled. Useful when you have two near-identical roles in different locations.
