Do you have open jobs in your system that shouldn’t be? Worse yet, do you have jobs on your website that shouldn’t be there?<\/p>\n

A quick and easy automation built in Herefish<\/a> can close out those jobs for you and ensure that it doesn’t happen again. All you have to do is close jobs based on a certain number of days after it was added and\/or if there hasn’t been activity in a certain amount of time. If you don’t want this logic to apply to all open positions, you can create exceptions to this rule for roles that should be kept open for longer.<\/p>\n
