Recruitera's active job slots define how many live job posts your account can have running at the same time each month. Understanding how slots work helps you plan your hiring calendar and avoid hitting limits unexpectedly. Slot counts differ by plan — Basic gets 5, Pro gets 7, and Enterprise gets 15 per month.
What is an active job slot in Recruitera?
An active job slot represents one published, live job post that is actively accepting applications. Each plan has a monthly slot limit — the maximum number of jobs that can be in a Published or Active state simultaneously at any given time during the month.
Active job slots by plan
Plan | Active Job Slots / Month |
Basic | 5 slots |
Pro | 7 slots |
Enterprise | 15 slots |
How active slots work
Recruitera counts active slots based on the number of jobs currently in a Published or Active state. A slot is occupied as long as a job is live. When you close, archive, or unpublish a job, that slot is freed and becomes available for a new job post. Slots reset at the start of each month — unused slots do not carry over.
💡 To maximize your slots, close or archive jobs as soon as they are filled rather than leaving them in a live state. This frees up capacity for new openings immediately.
Active job slots vs. jobs per year
Active slots and annual job limits are two separate limits in Recruitera. Active slots control how many jobs can be live simultaneously. The annual job limit controls how many total unique jobs you can create and post across the entire year — Basic gets 5, Pro gets 7, Enterprise gets 10, each with 50 unlock credits to extend beyond that ceiling.
Frequently asked questions
What happens when I reach my active job slot limit in Recruitera?
When you reach your active job slot limit in Recruitera, you cannot publish new jobs until at least one active slot is freed. To free a slot, close or archive a job that has finished hiring. Once a slot is freed, you can immediately publish a new job. If you consistently need more than your current slot limit allows, consider upgrading your plan to access a higher slot count.
Do unused active job slots carry over to the next month in Recruitera?
Active job slots in Recruitera reset at the start of each month and unused slots do not carry over. If your Basic plan allows 5 active slots and you only used 3 in a given month, you start the next month with 5 slots again — not 7. Slots are a concurrent capacity limit, not a cumulative credit. Plan accordingly by managing job closures and openings around your monthly cycle.
How is an active job slot different from a job credit in Recruitera?
An active job slot in Recruitera measures how many jobs can be simultaneously live at any moment. A job credit (annual job limit) measures how many total unique jobs you can create and post over the full year. You could use all 5 of your Pro plan's annual job credits in the first quarter while only ever having 3 active simultaneously — both limits operate independently and track different dimensions of your job posting activity.
