Note: If you are a user with Job Admin permission levels and your organization has restricted job creation to template jobs for all Job Admins, you will be sent directly to the Copy an Existing Job page, where you can only see template jobs on which you have been granted access.

When you have finished completing all the steps of your job setup flow, click Finish. You will be directed to the job's dashboard.

Request approval

Creating a job does not necessarily mean it is open to start recruiting candidates. If a job requires another user's approval, you must request job approval before the job is opened. A job that has yet to receive approval is considered a Draft.

To request approval for a new job, click Request Approval from a job page's navigation bar.

Users listed as approvers for the job will be notified of the approval request. The job will be considered Open after all necessary approvals are granted.
