Clone an existing job in Recruiting

Learn how to clone or copy an existing job that has the same job title and description in Recruiting.

This article is for administrators.

 

Sometimes you have jobs with the same title and details, but in a different location. To save time, you can clone an existing job instead of creating a new one from scratch. Cloning copies the job details so you only change what is different. 

When a filled or closed job must be posted again in Recruiting, you have two options. You can: 

  • Clone the job: Paycor creates a new job record with a new posting date and job ID. The original job record and its applicant history stay unchanged.  Use this article to reopen a closed or filled job in Recruiting.
  • Reopen the job: Paycor reactivates the original job record. The original posting date, job ID, and applicant history stay on the record. Refer to Reopen a closed or filled job for steps. 

Choose the option that fits how you want the posting to open in Recruiting and on external job boards.

  • Note: Post each role only once per location where you are actively hiring. External job boards might flag duplicate postings with the same job title in the same location.

Clone a job 

  1. Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking to open the Recruiting platform. 
  2. From the Recruiting Home Dashboard, click on the magnifying glass icon to use Job Search to find the job you want to clone. 
  3. When the job appears, select the job title. 
     
  4. Open the Job Info widget for the job you want to clone.  
  5. In the lower-left corner, select Clone This Job.  
  6. The Create a Job screen opens with the same job information. 
    Note: This will display the Request a Job screen, if Job Approvals is turned on.  
  7. Make the needed changes, such as the job location. 
  8. Select Save

Tips 

  • Review all sections before saving to be sure the details match the new job. 
  • Update the location and any location-specific pay or schedule details.
