Overview
Refreshing your job post updates it as “new” on job boards, increasing visibility and helping you attract more applicants.
Over time, job posts lose visibility. Refreshing helps bring your post back to the top and in front of more candidates. The refresh flow looks a little different depending on whether your job was created from a Wizehire template or built from scratch, so this article covers both.
Why refreshing matters
Refreshing your job:
re-posts it as new on job boards
increases visibility to job seekers
helps attract more applicants
💡 Helpful note: Visibility plays a major role in today’s hiring environment. Refreshing your post can significantly improve applicant flow.
When to refresh your job
You’ll see a prompt when your job is eligible:
“Refresh post for better visibility” appears under the job title
This indicates your job can be refreshed to regain visibility.
To start, either click the Refresh prompt, or click the 3 dots next to your job and select Refresh Job.
If you used a Wizehire templated post
Templated job refreshes pull content from our template-content library to refresh the job.
Click Refresh All from template at the top right to update every section at once
Or refresh section by section using each section's Refresh from template button
Or manually edit any section yourself
Once you click a refresh button, you can click Revert to original to go back to your previous draft if you want to undo the change.
Updating Qualifications and Responsibilities
Qualifications and Responsibilities pull in as individual items from the template
Click +Add custom item to add your own items
Use the rich text editor to make text bold, italic, or bulleted
When you're finished, click Done editing Qualifications (or Done editing Responsibilities)
If you used a non-templated post
Non-templated jobs use Scout to refresh each section.
Click Rewrite with Scout on top of any section to have Scout rewrite it
Or manually edit any section yourself
Once you click Rewrite, you can click Revert to original to go back to your previous draft.
Comparing your changes
Whether you're doing a templated or non-templated refresh, any section you update shows a Compare panel underneath it. Expand Compare and switch between the Original and Changes tabs to see exactly what changed before you publish.
💡 Helpful note: When refreshing, aim to update each section enough that job boards don't flag the post as a duplicate of your last one.
How to improve freshness
You'll see a Freshness level on the left side of the screen. You need to reach 100% before you can click Save and Publish.
To reach 100% freshness, update key parts of your job:
job title (most impactful)
compensation
responsibilities and qualifications
job description
💡 Helpful note: Job boards weigh title and compensation heavily, so even small updates here can significantly boost visibility.
Example update
“Outside Sales Representative – $70,000”
→ “Outbound Account Executive – $75,000+ at plan, commission”
Small changes like this can make your job appear new again.
Final step
Once your updates are complete:
confirm your freshness score is high
click Save and Publish
Your updated post will now be pushed out to job boards.
