Providing a relisting a job journey

Teaching Vacancies already had an option to ‘copy’ a job listing, but we wanted to add a separate option to ‘relist’ a job. This was for two reasons:

  • To make analytics clearer: having separate relist and copy options enables us to distinguish between cases where hiring staff have copied a live listing, utilises a template for another job listing, or where they have relisted a closed job.
  • To simplify the user journey as the relist flow is quicker and easier than copying a listing. This enables hiring staff to easily relist a job advertisement.

# What we have done

To add a new relisting option, we have:

  • updated the content on the current “Copy job listing” hyperlink to read “Copy”
  • added a new hyperlink called “Relist” to the left of the “Copy” hyperlink
  • implemented a relist a job journey. When hiring staff click the ‘relist’ button, they are taken to the relist page where they populate the publish date, closing date, closing time and give a reason for relisting the job
  • after selecting the “Relist job” button, hiring staff are taken to the same job listing confirmation page.
