faqs:
  - question: Can I undo a deleted job?
    answer: "No. Deleted jobs can't be recovered. Use Unpublish instead if you might need the listing again."
  - question: Do edits affect SEO ranking?
    answer: "Search engines decide how and when to recrawl an edited page. Keep the same URL for ordinary corrections, and verify important changes after the page is recrawled."
  - question: How long should I keep filled positions visible?
    answer: "Unpublish or expire a role when candidates can no longer apply. Match your review cadence to how quickly your sources and employers report closures."

Job details change as roles evolve: salaries get adjusted, requirements shift, locations change, or positions get filled. Keeping your listings accurate is important for candidate trust and for search engines, which favor boards with fresh, up-to-date content.

## Before you begin

Confirm whether the employer wants to correct, pause, repost, or permanently remove the role. Use **Unpublish** for a reversible pause; use **Delete** only when the listing and its public URL should be removed permanently. An unpublished backfilled job stays off your board until you publish it again: backfill does not republish it.

## Edit a job

1. Click **Jobs** in the sidebar
2. Click the job title to open the edit form
3. Make your changes to any field
4. Click **Save changes**

You can update any field: title, description, company, work arrangement, locations, salary, employment type, seniority, categories, skills, application method, publish date, expiry date, and featured status. Edits take effect immediately on your public board.

## Moving a job to another company

To move a job, open its edit form, choose the new company in **Company** and click **Save changes**. You can also send `companyId` with `PATCH /v1/jobs/{id}`.

A job you move stays on the company you chose. When the job came from backfill, later feed updates keep your choice, including when the job expires and comes back in the feed. Job reads through `/v1` show `companyLocked: true` for a job moved this way.

To send feed jobs to a subsidiary automatically instead, use [routing rules](/docs/managing-companies/route-feed-jobs-to-subsidiaries).

## Change categories and skills

Cavuno tags new jobs with categories and skills automatically. To change them, open the job's edit form:

1. In **Categories** or **Skills**, search for a term and select it. Categories show their parent category next to the name.
2. If nothing matches, type the new name and choose **Create "…"**. The term is added to your board and can be used on other jobs too.
3. Remove a term by clicking the **×** on its tag.
4. Click **Save changes**

Categories and skills you set by hand aren't replaced by AI tagging. If you remove every category or every skill, AI tagging can fill that list again later. These fields are on the edit form only, so a new job gets its tags automatically first. To change the lists themselves, see [Manage categories, skills, and markets](/docs/board-setup/taxonomy).

## Duplicate a job

If you need to post a similar role (same company, similar description, different location), duplicating is faster than creating from scratch.

1. Click **Jobs** in the sidebar
2. Find the job you want to copy
3. Click the three-dot menu and select **Duplicate**

Cavuno creates a draft copy and opens the edit form so you can adjust the details before publishing.

## Delete a job

1. Click **Jobs** in the sidebar
2. Find the job you want to remove
3. Click the three-dot menu and select **Delete**
4. Confirm the deletion

The job is removed from your board immediately and its URL returns a 404. Search engines eventually drop the listing from their index. Analytics data for the job is preserved. This action cannot be undone.

If you might want to repost the role later, consider unpublishing instead of deleting. See [Job workflow](/docs/managing-jobs/job-posting-workflow) for details on hiding jobs temporarily.

## Bulk delete

1. Click **Jobs** in the sidebar
2. Select jobs using the checkboxes
3. Click **Delete** in the toolbar that appears

Use bulk delete to clean up expired listings or remove a batch of filled positions at once. The selection counter shows how many jobs you've selected.

## Keeping jobs current

Review listings on a cadence appropriate to your sources and hiring cycle. Remove filled roles promptly, update compensation when it changes, and unpublish a role that is temporarily on hold so it can be republished later.

## Verify the result

For an edited published job, open **View live job** and confirm the changed fields and application path. For an unpublished or deleted job, test its former public URL in a signed-out window and confirm it no longer appears in browse, search, or RSS results. For a duplicate, confirm it has its own slug and edit any copied details before publishing.

## Example and recovery

For example, unpublish a role when hiring pauses and retain the existing listing for later. If you duplicate a role by mistake, delete the unpublished copy—not the original active job. A deleted job cannot be restored, so contact support only if you need help understanding a deletion; support cannot guarantee recovery.
