Archiving completed vacancies (vX)
Guidance for recruiters on how to move vacancies to the archive.
Once you have finished all onboarding actions, reserve lists are complete, and all applications are at a terminal status, the vacancy can be archived.
This will remove the vacancy from view but all application data will be retained.
Checking all vacancy actions are completed
A vacancy must not be archived until:
- the vacancy closing date is in the past - to ensure that candidates can no longer apply
- and any reserve lists have expired
- and all the applications are at a terminal status
Archiving the vacancy
Ensure all outstanding actions are completed on the vacancy.
- Go to the vacancy
- Select the Summary tab.
- Select Edit.
- Select the Is Archived box, then Save.
- The vacancy will now be archived.
Once archived, vacancies will not appear in search results, however applications and scores will be kept until their deletion date.
Including archived vacancies in a search
Searching for vacancies or applications while including archived data may be slower, so you can hide archived data for standard searches. You can toggle between including or excluding archived data:
- Select your username at the top left of the screen.
- Select Show archived data or Hide archived data from the drop down options.
