You can extend the application deadline for a job at any time to keep the job posting open and accepting applications for longer.


Changing the Application Deadline

To extend the application deadline for a job:

  1. Open Jobs.

  2. Select Manage Jobs.

  3. Open the job you want to update.

  4. Click Edit.
    ​

  5. Select Edit Job.

  6. Scroll to the Application Deadline section (under Details).

  7. Enter the new deadline date.
    ​

  8. Click Save Changes.

The job posting should now show the new application deadline.

✅ Permissions

You'll need the Create and manage jobs permissions to change the deadline.
