Closing a Job

Updated on

This guide shows you how to close a job in the CHRS Recruiting system properly so that applicants and agencies all receive proper notification.

When a job is filled or canceled, you must close the job in the system. Closing the job has the following effects:

  • The job is removed from open recruiting.
  • The job is removed from the Recruiter Dashboard.
  • The job status changes to either Filled or Canceled.
  • The Time to fill clock stops.

When you close a job, you must also complete the following tasks in order to update interested parties and to maintain system accuracy:

  • Notify applicants.
  • Notify agencies.
  • Move applications to a non-current application status.

Close a Job

Closing a job is more than changing the job status. When you close the job by using the Close button, you are prompted to send notifications and a hiring manager survey.

  • In the CHRS Recruiting system, open the Main Menu.
  • Click Manage jobs.
  • Find the job, then click the Close job button at the far right of the row
    • You might need to scroll to the right or expand your window to see the button.
  • The Job closing page opens.
  • On the Job closing page, select a status to move the job to (Filled, or Cancelled).
  • If the Reason for canceling position field is displayed, select a response.
  • If the job has applicants, click Manage applications.
    • The Manage applications page opens.
  • On the Manage applications page, add a check mark to all remaining applicants and then select Bulk move from the bulk actions menu.
  • Move the applications to status: Removed. (Your campus might use a different status, depending on the recruitment process you are using.)
  • Click Next. The Communication page opens.
  • Edit the outgoing email to the applicants.
  • Specify a reason for the status change.
  • When the move is complete, you are returned to the Job closing page.
  • Optionally send a job feedback survey request to the hiring manager.
  • If you were using an agency to post the job, edit the email to the agency.
  • Click Save. The job is closed.

Guidelines

  • Do not close the job by directly changing the Recruitment Status from the job requisition.
    • This status change does not prompt you to send notifications to applicants or agencies.
  • You can find closed jobs by using the All or Non current recruitment status filters on the Manage jobs page.
