Job automation
The Job Automation tab contains four on/off toggles that control automatic behaviors across the hiring pipeline. Each toggle is independent — turn on only the behaviors that match your team’s process.

The four automation toggles
| Toggle | What it does |
|---|---|
| Automatic publication | Publishes a job as soon as it is created. |
| Automatic closure | Closes a job automatically when someone is hired. |
| Automatic deny | Automatically denies candidates when a job is closed. |
| Automatic decline | Automatically declines the other candidates when someone is hired. |
Enabling or disabling
- Go to Configuration → ATS settings → Job and open the Job Automation tab.
- Toggle each rule on or off as needed.
- Changes take effect immediately.
Tips
- Combine “Automatic closure” with “Automatic deny” to ensure that closing a job for a hire automatically cleans up all remaining open applications in one step.
- Use “Automatic decline” when your process sends a notification to unsuccessful candidates — it prevents applications from sitting in an in-progress state indefinitely after a hire.
- “Automatic publication” suits high-volume hiring flows where jobs go live as soon as they are entered. Turn it off if jobs need a review or approval step before going public.
