A job's status controls where it appears and whether candidates can apply. You change it from the Jobs list or the job editor. This needs the manage-jobs permission.
Before you start
Required role: a role with the Manage jobs permission
Where to find it: Jobs (status pill on the row) or inside the job editor header
How to change a job's status
On the Jobs list, click the job's status pill (or edit the job and use the status control in the editor header).
Pick the new status. Each option in the menu has a short description of what it does.
The statuses
Draft — not public yet; still being set up.
Published — live on your career page and open to candidates.
Use internally — anyone with the link can view, but it isn't listed publicly.
Confidential — unlisted; anyone with the link can view and apply.
Closed — closed for new candidates; candidates cannot apply.
Archived — filed away out of your active lists.
💡 Draft is a one-way starting point — once a job leaves Draft, it can't be set back to Draft.
Frequently asked questions
Can I move a job back to Draft?
No. Draft is only the initial state while you set a job up; after that you move between the other statuses (for example, Published → Closed → Archived).
