FAQ
What is an active Job?
Online and Offline Jobs are active. Online is visible and receives applications. Offline is hidden, but remains manageable. Archived Jobs are closed and do not count towards your limit.
How do I delete or archive a Job?
It is currently not possible to delete a Job on JOIN. However, you can switch the Job to Offline or Archive it. To archive a Job or take it offline, go to the Jobs tab, open the menu next to the Job, then change its status.
Can I manage candidates if the Job is archived?
No. The Archived status disables candidate management. Applications remain accessible in read-only mode. Switch the Job back to Offline or Online to manage candidates again.
Can I pause recruitment without losing premium visibility?
If you switch an Online Job to Offline or Archived, premium promotions are cancelled immediately. To avoid losing visibility, wait until the promotions end before changing the status.
