There are three different statuses for a position to be placed into.

• Active, Listed Jobs status will place the position on the site for students to search and apply online. Departments may also Direct Hire students while the position is in this status. When listing a position on JobX, you will be asked to select how many days you would like that position to remain public and accepting applications. If you do not select a specific time period, you will have to manually close the position once you are no longer accepting candidates.
• Active, Not Listed status allows the department to Direct Hire students without accepting online applications. Positions in Active, Not Listed status are not searchable nor do they accept online applications.
• Inactive status will remove all current applicant data. If you will be putting the position into storage, be sure to export your student application data if you wish to retain it. Inactive status should be used prior to entering a new application cycle as students cannot be hired into a position if they were hired via a prior semester application.
