Re-activating a Job
Re-open a closed or expired job in Xinterview by setting a new deadline and making it live again.
Re-activating a Job
Jobs can be re-activated after an expired deadline, a manual closure, or paused recruitment. When you re-activate a job, Xinterview opens it for applications again with a new deadline.
When to re-activate?
Use re-activation when a job was closed for one of these reasons:
- Expired deadline — The original deadline passed and the job is no longer live.
- Manual closure — Someone closed the job before the deadline.
- Paused recruitment — Hiring was paused and you want to resume the posting.
