Cancel a Job Opening

Overview

This document explains the steps for canceling a job opening when the department chooses not to fill it in the M-Pathways Human Resource Management System (HRMS) - Recruiting.

Important Information

  • If you need to cancel a job opening that is in the Offer status, cancel the offer first and then proceed with canceling the job opening.
  • After you cancel a job opening, it cannot be re-opened. If you decide later to fill the position, you must create a new job opening. You can use the clone feature to create a job opening based on the canceled one. For more information, see Clone a Job Opening.
  • Review job openings every month and cancel the job openings that are more than 6 months old with no activity.
