On the jobs dashboard you will see an overview of the job posts that have been created. The table displays the following information about the job post:

  • Candidates: number of new candidates, candidates in the process, and hired candidates
  • Created on: amount of time the job post was created
  • Status: by default only published and draft posts appear in the table. To view unlisted, archived or cancelled job posts apply the filter located at the top of the table.
