Steps to Put a Job on Hold

1. Log in and go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. Your Recruiting dashboard appears. 

2. Select one of these methods to put a job on hold.

Change a Job's Priority to On-Hold on the Job Info Screen: 

1. Click a job title, and when the job details screen appears, at the top right, click the blue info (settings) icon. 

This occurs: 

• The job is still externally available.
• In the Active Jobs list, the job includes an OH HOLD label.

2. Stop the Job from Being Posted Externally

Follow the steps in this article, How Do I Stop Accepting Resumes for an Active Job (Pause a Job) in Recruiting?

This occurs:

• This stops applicants from being able to apply, so you'll stop the candidate inflow.
• You can continue processing existing candidates for the job in Recruiting.
• You can also manually add candidates to the job if desired.

What Happens with Reporting for On-Hold Jobs?

When you place a job On-Hold, Recruiting still considers the job Active. So, if you're using Recruiting Analytics, the Days On Hold field displays how long a job has been in the Hold priority.

You can find this field on several reports, including the All Jobs Details and Active Jobs Detail reports.
