# Closing and reopening a role

> Pause or schedule interviews without losing completed results.

Ready to pause interviews or wrap up hiring? Closing a role stops new interviews while preserving information already collected.

## Close a role

1. Open the role.
2. Click the status dropdown in the top left.
3. Select **Closed** and confirm.
4. Check the interview link in a new window to verify candidates can no longer start.

Pause outreach or ATS automations that direct candidates to the closed role.

## Schedule a closing date

1. Open the role’s status dropdown.
2. Select **Schedule Close**.
3. Choose the date and time and confirm. The time uses your current time zone.

## Reopen a role

Change the status to **Accepting interviews**. Your existing interview link will work again.

Closing is reversible. If you need a separate hiring pipeline, duplicate the role instead.
