How do I relaunch, republish, or re-open a job?

When you want an old or paused job working for you again on Get on Board, there are four different actions — republish, re-open, duplicate, and refresh — and they don’t do the same thing. This guide helps you pick the right one based on whether you keep your applicants and whether it costs you anything.

Quick comparison

Republish

Use this when your process is still open but the job is currently hidden. Republishing makes it visible again at no cost and keeps all your applicants. If you’re on a subscription and your job slots are full, free up a slot first.

Non-subscriber jobs are hidden automatically after about a week, but the process stays open — so you can unlock and republish without re-opening anything.

Re-open a process

If a process was opened recently (within the last few months), you can re-open it and keep its applicants at no cost. One important detail: re-opening does not publish the job automatically. After re-opening, the job stays unpublished until you publish it again, so don’t skip that last step, or the job stays invisible while the process looks open.

Duplicate

When a job is too old to re-open, duplicate it. This creates a fresh draft that goes through moderation again and starts with no applicants. For subscribers it uses a job slot; for non-subscribers it creates a posting that needs a paid unlock. You can’t duplicate a job that still has an active process — close it first.

Refresh the date

Refreshing moves a currently published job back up the listings. It’s available with featured (Pin/Boost) plans, and some enterprise accounts. Your applicants and the job stay exactly as they are.
