How do I delete an opening?

Perhaps you've created an opening you didn't mean to create, or you were simply testing the system and you'd like to delete the test openings. Below you can learn more about deleting an opening and when you should and shouldn't use this feature.

If I am finished hiring for a position, should I delete the opening?

No - deleting openings is permanent and should only be done if the opening was created by mistake, or it is a test opening. If you are finished hiring for a position, it is best to archive the position.

I am finished collecting applicants, but still working on a hiring decision - should I delete the opening?
