Need to hire multiple applicants for a single job? No problem! The Open Position Counter is here to help you track how many applicants you need to fill a role. Once enabled, this feature applies to all jobs in your account, but you can customize the number of open positions on a job-by-job basis.
Enabling the Open Position Counter
First things first—let’s turn on the Open Position Counter for your account:
- Click on the Main Menu (top right-hand corner of your screen) and select Account Details.
- Scroll down to Customize & Design and click Feature Management.
- In the General section, find Open Position Counter and toggle it ON.
Once enabled, head over to your Dashboard and check the Job Listings section. You’ll see Open Positions listed—this number will default to 1 for each job, meaning you're looking to hire one person by default. But don’t worry, you can adjust it as needed!
Adjusting the Open Position Counter for Specific Jobs
If you need to hire more than one person for a position, follow these steps to update the Open Position Counter:
- In the Job Listings Grid, click the three dots on the right side of the job card and select Edit Job.
- On the Edit Job page, scroll down and click Show Advanced Options to expand the menu.
- Locate the Open Positions box and enter the number of hires you need for that role.
- Click Publish and Continue to save your changes.
- Head back to the Dashboard and check the Open Positions column to confirm your update.
Hiring Applicants: What Happens Next?
As you hire applicants, the Job Counter will automatically update—decreasing by 1 for each hire. Need to check your progress?
- Open the Applicant Grid for the job, and you’ll see the total number of hires at the top of the page.
- If you accidentally mark someone as hired (oops!), you can simply unmark them, and the Job Counter will adjust accordingly.
Automation: Automatically Take a Job Offline When Filled
Want your job listing to go offline automatically once all positions are filled? You can set that up!
- Go to the Main Menu and select Account Details.
- Scroll down to Customize & Design and click Workflow.
- Under Applicant Hired Automations, find the Set Job Status drop-down.
- Select either:
- Set Job Offline (moves the job to your offline listings)
- Archive Job (moves the job to archived listings)
Once enabled, your job posting will automatically disappear from active listings when all positions are filled. No manual work needed!
