If you closed a job and now need it active again — maybe the role re-opened, or it was closed in error, you can reopen it from the Jobs page. If the job was closed directly without selecting any stages for bulk disqualification, the candidates already in the pipeline stay exactly where they are.
How to reopen a job
Go to the Jobs page.
Open the All Closed Jobs view from the dropdown.
Find the job you want to reopen.
On the job card, click the three dots menu and choose Reopen Job.
The job moves back into your active jobs list immediately.
What happens when you reopen a job
Candidates stay in their stages, if the job was closed directly. When you closed the job, if you skipped the bulk-disqualification step (no stages selected), every candidate in the pipeline stays exactly where they were — Submitted, Interview, Offer, Hired, etc. Reopening puts the job back into action without changing their stages.
Candidates from bulk-disqualified stages stay disqualified. If you closed the job and selected one or more stages for bulk disqualification, the candidates in those stages were disqualified at close time. Reopening the job doesn't reverse that — they remain disqualified.
Job status flips back to Open. The job appears in your active Jobs list and is editable like any other open job.
Practical example
You closed "Senior Backend Engineer" two months ago after a hire fell through. The hiring manager comes back saying they want to revisit a couple of candidates from that pipeline. Open the Jobs page, switch to All Closed Jobs, click the three-dots menu on the role's card, and pick Reopen Job. The job is active again, and every candidate is right where you left them — Sarah in Final Round, Marcus in Offer, the disqualified pile still flagged correctly.
Things to know
Reopening is reversible, you can close the job again at any time.
After reopening, confirm any external job board postings (ZipRecruiter, LinkedIn, Indeed) and automations (Sequences, Recipes) tied to the job are active. Depending on how they were configured when the job was closed, some may need to be turned back on separately.
