Why Is My Job Not Showing Up?
Team Engine allows you to manage your job openings using different job statuses. Each status indicates whether a position is being advertised, remains open for internal hiring, is temporarily on hold, or has been permanently closed.
Understanding these statuses helps ensure your jobs are displayed correctly and that applicants can apply when you are actively hiring.
Job Status Definitions
1. Published : To advertise an open position and attract applicants through external job boards and your careers page.
When a job is marked as Published, it is actively posted to supported external job boards, including Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Google Jobs, Jobble, and JobGet. The job is also advertised on your connected careers page or company website.
When to use Published:
- You are actively recruiting for the position.
- You want to attract applicants through external job boards.
- You want the job to appear on your connected careers page or company website.
2. Active : To keep a job open without advertising it on external job boards or your careers page.
When a job is marked as Active, the position remains open in Team Engine, but it is not advertised on external job boards or your careers page.
This status is commonly used for internal hiring, employee referrals, or other recruiting processes that do not require public job advertising.
When to use Active:
- You are hiring through employee referrals.
- You are recruiting internally.
- You want to keep the position open without advertising it publicly.
3. Not Hiring : To temporarily pause hiring and stop accepting applicants for a position.
When a job is marked as Not Hiring, you can pause recruitment without permanently closing the position. This status can also be used when you no longer want to accept applicants and need to remove the job from external job boards and advertising sources until hiring resumes.
When to use Not Hiring:
- You have temporarily paused recruitment.
- You have received enough applications for the time being.
- You want to stop accepting applicants without permanently closing the job.
4. Archived : To permanently close a job and retain its historical records.
When a job is marked as Archived, the position is considered permanently closed and is no longer accepting applicants. Archived jobs are retained in Team Engine for historical tracking and reporting purposes.
When to use Archived:
- The position has been filled.
- You no longer intend to hire for the role.
- The job opening has been permanently discontinued.
- You want to retain historical hiring information for reporting purposes.
Choosing the correct job status helps keep your hiring activity organized and ensures your job openings reflect your current recruitment needs.
