Vacancy Statuses Explained
Each vacancy is assigned a status that reflects its current state. There are various status types, including 'Open' and 'Closed,' which indicate whether the position is still available, has been filled, or is in another phase of its lifecycle.
Open Vacancy: This status indicates that the position is still available and accepting applications.
Closed Vacancy: This status applies to positions that have either been filled or are no longer available, possibly due to the company deciding not to proceed with hiring. While closed vacancies are not deleted from the system, they are marked as "Closed" and unpublished from platforms like JobsinMalta or any respective job boards.
Should you need to delete a vacancy you will need to simply set the Vacancy Status to "Closed".
Adding a Vacancy Status
Instead of simply using 'Open' and 'Closed' as vacancy statuses, you can introduce a broader range of status options to provide a more detailed overview of the hiring process. By incorporating additional stages such as 'Interviewing,' 'Shortlisting Questions,' or 'Appointed,' you can more accurately track the progression of each vacancy.
