How to Refresh Job Posts Without Creating Duplicates

Refresh job postings on job boards without creating duplicate listings or losing candidate data.

Why refresh job posts

Job boards often deprioritize older postings. Refreshing can:

• Boost visibility in search results
• Attract new candidates
• Show the position is still active

Method 1: use satellite job rotation

The cleanest way to refresh jobs posted to multiple locations:

1. Go to your Jobs list
2. Find the original job
3. Click Clone
4. Choose Rotate Existing Satellite Jobs
5. This closes old satellite jobs and creates fresh ones

Benefits:

• All candidates stay in the original job's pipeline
• Automations and AI scoring remain in place
• Job boards see new postings

Method 2: manual refresh

For a single job:

1. Change the job status to Draft
2. Wait for job boards to remove the listing (up to 24 hours)
3. Make minor updates to the job description (optional)
4. Change status back to Public
5. Job boards treat this as a new posting

Method 3: close and clone

1. Change original job status to Filled or Archived
2. Clone the job
3. Edit the clone's details if needed
4. Publish the clone
5. Set up automation to move new candidates to the original job (if you want to consolidate)

Keeping candidates together

To manage all candidates in one place when refreshing:

1. On the new/refreshed job, add an automation
2. Trigger: When candidate reaches Applied stage
3. Action: Assign to original job
4. All candidates end up in one pipeline

Job board timing

After making changes:

• Indeed: Updates within 1 hour
• LinkedIn: Can take up to 24 hours

Frequency

Refresh jobs every 30 days for optimal job board visibility. Some boards automatically deprioritize posts older than 30 days.
