Clone an existing job

Spin up a new job by copying an existing one — useful when reopening a role or running multiple variants of the same opening.

Written by Amritanshu Anand

Cloning saves you from rebuilding a job from scratch when you're reopening a role, running multiple variants, or recruiting for similar positions across markets. Recruiterflow copies the full job configuration into a new draft — you only have to update what's actually different.

Clone a job

  1. Open the Jobs page.

  2. Find the job you want to copy and click the three-dot menu on its card.

  3. Select Clone this Job.

  4. Recruiterflow creates a new job in draft state with the configuration copied over. Make any edits and publish when ready.

What carries over and what doesn't

Cloning copies the configuration — not the candidate activity.

Copied to the new job:

  • Job description and requirements

  • Hiring team

  • Pipeline stages and scorecards

  • Recipes attached to the job

Reset on the new job:

  • Candidates and applications

  • Job status — the clone always starts as a draft

Practical example

You closed a Senior Backend Engineer role last quarter and now you're hiring two more on the same team. Open the original job, hit the three-dot menu, and click Clone this Job. The new draft lands with the same description, hiring team, pipeline, and scorecards. Update the title to reflect headcount, publish, and start sourcing.

Things to know

  • Cloned jobs always land in draft state, so they won't appear on your career site or job boards until you publish them.

  • Candidates from the original job don't transfer. If you want to move specific candidates over, do it manually after the clone is created.

  • Anything stored at the workspace level — email templates, tags, locations — is shared across both jobs and doesn't need to be cloned.
