Job duplication

Make a copy of an existing job — same title, description, contract types, workflow, everything. The new copy is saved unpublished so you can tweak before going live.

Where to find it

When you need to open a similar role to one you’ve already created, duplicating is faster than starting from scratch. The duplicate keeps every field of the original — title, descriptions in all languages, contract types, schedules, salary range, custom properties — but starts as unpublished so you can change what needs changing before going live.

Find Duplicate job in the 3-dot menu on any job detail page.

Duplicating a job

  1. Open the source job

    The job you want to copy.

  2. Click the 3-dot menu in the header

    On the top-right of the page.

  3. Click Duplicate job

    Only visible if you have permission to create jobs. A confirmation modal opens.

  4. Confirm

    The duplicate is created. You land on the new job’s detail page — it’s unpublished.

What gets copied

Everything copies over except the published state (off) and the unique ID.

The duplicate copies:

  • Job template, external reference, client, hiring manager, recruiter
  • Title and descriptions in all languages
  • Position, location, address
  • Contract types, schedules, shifts, hours range
  • Contract start/end dates, salary range
  • Skills, technologies, tags, categories, fee
  • Custom properties
  • Workflow
  • Publishing sites
  • Survey definition
  • Logo and feature photo

What does NOT get copied

  • Published state — always starts unpublished. Manually publish when you’re ready.
  • Applicants — never copied. The duplicate is a clean job with no applications yet.
  • Comments and tasks — those stay with the original.
  • Files — stay with the original. If you need the same files on the duplicate, re-upload.
  • Reports data — fresh job, no past data.

After duplicating

You land on the new job’s detail page. Edit any fields you need to change — title (so the two don’t look identical in the list), description (if the new role has different specs), contract dates — then publish when ready.

Tips

  • Change the title before publishing. Two jobs with identical titles in the candidate list cause confusion.
  • Re-think the publishing sites. The duplicate inherits the original’s site selection — if you want it on fewer sites, uncheck before publishing.
  • Use this for batch-opening. If a client needs 5 identical engineering roles for different locations, duplicate the first one four times and change only the location each time.
