# Job settings

> Manage a job's hiring team and permissions, visibility, notifications, and actions like duplicating or deleting it, and change its status.

## Overview

Each job has its own settings. Open the job and click the gear icon (**Job Settings**) in its header. The left side lists three pages:

| Page | What you do there |
| --- | --- |
| **Permissions** | Choose the hiring team, change the job's visibility, and set each member's job permissions. |
| **Notifications** | Choose which email and Slack notifications this job sends. See [Notifications](https://docs.dover.com/settings/notifications/). |
| **Actions** | Duplicate or delete the job. |

Company-wide settings, such as members and billing, are under **Settings** in the left sidebar. See the [Settings overview](https://docs.dover.com/settings/overview/).

## Hiring team

The hiring team is everyone who works on the job. Two roles are set separately, and every other member can be given any job permission set.

| Role | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| **Hiring Manager** | Person who owns the job and hiring decisions. Required. |
| **Recruiter** | The person running the process for the job. |
| **Other members** | Anyone else on the job, such as interviewers. Choose a job permission set for each, such as **Job Admin** or **Job Basic**. |

Adding someone as hiring manager or recruiter gives them **Job Admin** permissions. See [Permissions](https://docs.dover.com/settings/permissions/#job-permissions) for what each job permission allows.

### Change the hiring team

You need the **Manage hiring team** job permission.

1. Open the job and click the gear icon (**Job Settings**).
2. On **Permissions**, find **Hiring Team**.
3. Choose a **Hiring Manager** and a **Recruiter**.
4. To add other members, click **Add member**, search by name or email, and choose their permissions.
5. Confirm the change when Dover asks **Update hiring team?**.

The page lists every member under **Member permissions**. Select a member to change their permission set, or remove them. A member with **Job Basic** can submit feedback, but can't see other interviewers' feedback, the job's compensation, or candidates in the offer and hire stages.

## Job status

A job's status is shown next to its title: **Draft**, **Active**, or **Inactive**. New jobs start as drafts. See [Draft jobs](https://docs.dover.com/getting-started/how-to-add-a-job/#draft-jobs). A job is active while you're hiring for it. Deactivate it when you stop. You need the **Edit job** permission.

1. Open the job and click **Active** next to the job title.
2. Click **Deactivate**.
3. Optionally, choose the candidates who should get an automated rejection email.
4. Click **Deactivate job**, or **Deactivate job and send rejection emails** if you chose candidates.

Sending rejection emails requires your email account to be connected. See [Emailing candidates](https://docs.dover.com/managing-candidates/emailing-candidates/). Deactivating removes the job's posting from your careers page and from Dover-managed job boards. To reopen it, click **Inactive** next to the job title and click **Activate**.

## Job visibility

**Job Visibility** controls who at your company can see the job.

- **Visible:** everyone at your company can see the job.
- **Hidden:** only admins and the people on the job's hiring team can see it.

Turn the **Job Visibility** switch to change it. You need the **Job visibility** permission. Hidden is rarely used. It suits a job whose title is sensitive, and a hidden job can't be published to your careers page or to job boards.

---

## Notifications

Choose which emails and Slack messages a job sends, such as interview reminders and daily applicant summaries. See [Notifications](https://docs.dover.com/settings/notifications/) and [Slack integration](https://docs.dover.com/integrations/slack-integration/).

## Actions

### Duplicate a job

Make a copy of a job with the same settings.

1. Open the job and click the gear icon (**Job Settings**).
2. Click **Actions**.
3. Next to **Duplicate Job**, click **Duplicate**.

### Delete a job

Delete a job only when you no longer need its data. To keep the data, deactivate the job instead.

1. Open the job and click the gear icon (**Job Settings**).
2. Click **Actions**.
3. Next to **Delete Job**, click **Delete Job**.
4. Confirm that you want to delete the job.

:::caution
Deleting a job permanently deletes the job and all its candidates, applicants, feedback forms, and settings. You can't undo it.
:::

You need the **Edit job** permission to delete a job. If the button is unavailable, point to it to see who can give you access.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why can't I change the hiring team or a setting?

You're missing the permission it needs: **Manage hiring team** for the team, **Edit job** for status and deleting, and **Job visibility** for visibility. Point to the control to see who can give you access, and click **Request access** if it's shown.

### What's the difference between deactivating and deleting a job?

Deactivating removes the posting but keeps all candidates and data, and you can reactivate the job later. Deleting permanently removes the job and everything in it.

### Can I change a job's hiring manager?

Yes, with **Manage hiring team**. A job always needs a hiring manager, so choose a new one rather than leaving it empty.

### Where can I see pricing and plan details?

Some job options, such as hidden jobs and duplicating a job, depend on your plan. See [dover.com/pricing](https://www.dover.com/pricing).
