Overview
How you manage your job postings affects both job board compliance and visibility. Here's how to handle location changes, closed postings, and duplicates the right way.
Managing Job Locations
Update the location on your existing posting instead of creating a new one. Job boards often flag postings within a 35-mile radius as duplicates.
If you're moving a job to a nearby city, for example within 11 miles, update the location on the current posting rather than creating a new one. This keeps you compliant and avoids duplicate detection.
Location settings don't carry over automatically. You'll need to manually enter the specific city in the location field for each new posting before publishing.
Handling Closed Job Postings
If you close a job posting, you can reopen it later without losing access to your candidates. Wizehire keeps all applicant data and resumes, so you can keep emailing candidates and scheduling interviews even after a posting is closed.
Avoiding Duplicate Postings
Don't create a new posting for a role if the original is already active. Job boards expect one posting per open role.
If you've accidentally created a duplicate, close the newer one. Update the original posting as needed, then reopen it.
Common Questions
Will I lose my candidates if I close a job posting?
No. Wizehire keeps all applicant data and resumes, so you can still email candidates and schedule interviews after a posting is closed.
Can I move an active job posting to a new location?
Yes. Update the location on the existing posting instead of creating a new one, especially if you're moving within about 35 miles, to avoid duplicate detection.
Do location settings carry over to my next job posting?
No. You'll need to manually enter the city for each new posting before publishing.
What should I do if I accidentally created a duplicate posting?
Close the newer one, update the original posting as needed, then reopen it.
