How do I refresh my job post, and why does it matter?

Refreshing your job post boosts visibility on job boards, helps you update content quickly, and can improve applicant flow.

Overview

Refreshing your job post updates it as "new" on job boards, increasing visibility and helping you attract more applicants. Over time, job posts naturally lose visibility. Refreshing helps bring your post back to the top and in front of more candidates.


Why Refreshing Matters

Refreshing your job:

  • Re-posts it as new on job boards

  • Increases visibility to job seekers

  • Helps attract more applicants

Helpful note: Visibility plays a major role in today's hiring environment. Refreshing your post can significantly improve applicant flow.


When to Refresh Your Job

  • Watch for a "Refresh post for better visibility" prompt under the job title. This means your job is eligible to be refreshed to regain visibility.


How to Refresh Your Job

  • Click Refresh from the prompt, or

  • Click Manage next to your job, then select Refresh Job

If you used a templated post:

  • Click ‘Refresh all from template’ in the top right to refresh every section of the post at once - or click ‘Refresh from template’ in individual sections of the job as you go

  • WISE AI will automatically generate refreshed content

  • Review the updated version

  • Edit any section directly, update responsibilities or qualifications, or use WISE to help regenerate content

  • Posting status: Freshness level (on the left of your screen) must reach %100

  • Click Save and Publish when finished

If you used a non-templated post:

  • Click Refresh Job

  • Update your content to reach 100% "freshness."

  • Use WISE to help rewrite sections if needed.

  • Click Save and Publish when finished


How to Improve Freshness

To reach 100% freshness, update key parts of your job:

  • Job title (most impactful)

  • Compensation

  • Responsibilities and qualifications

  • Job description

Helpful note: Job boards weigh title and compensation heavily, so even small updates here can significantly boost visibility. For example, updating "Outside Sales Representative, $70,000" to "Outbound Account Executive, $75,000+ at plan, commission" can make your job appear new again.
