You can amend the following parts of a vacancy after the job has been published:
- Is the job Covid-19 related
- Contract type
- Working pattern
- Working hours
- Staff group
- Area of work
- Employer details
- Job advert details
- Job description
- Supporting documents
- Contact details
- Closing date
If you need to amend one of these sections you must be either a 'Super user' or 'Recruitment administrator'.
If you're using an Applicant Tracking Service (ATS) and need to make any changes to your vacancy, you must speak to your ATS provider. This is because the way you amend a vacancy using an ATS depends on which provider you use.
Closing vacancy and republishing
If you need to amend a field which is not on the list, you must close the vacancy and create the advert again using the ‘Reuse job listing’ option.
If there are applications in process you can:
- keep the applicants on a closed listing and carry on with the recruitment, you must inform current applicants of the changed details and carry out new recruitment on the new listing
- close the vacancy, reuse the vacancy with the amended details and tell current applicants to apply to the new vacancy
- close the vacancy, reuse the vacancy with the amended details, manually add applicants to the new listing and inform the applicant why
