# Connekt Job Statuses: All Eight Pipeline States Explained

> All 8 Connekt job statuses explained — when to use each one, how to update a job's status, and why closed and cancelled jobs remain fully searchable.

Every job in Connekt carries a single status that tells your team — and the system — where that role sits in your pipeline. Status drives filtering, reporting, and which jobs appear in default list views, so keeping statuses accurate gives everyone a clear, real-time picture of your open workload. Jobs are created with **Open** status by default, and you can move them to any status at any time as the role progresses.

## The 8 Job Statuses

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Open" icon="circle-check">
    The role is actively being recruited for and accepts new candidate submissions. This is the default status when a job is first created.
  </Card>

  <Card title="In Progress" icon="circle-half-stroke">
    Recruiting is actively underway, with candidates moving through the pipeline stages. Use this to signal active work to your team.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Partially Filled" icon="circle-three-quarters-stroke">
    Used for multi-hire roles where some positions have been filled but recruiting continues for the remaining headcount. Still accepts new submissions.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Filled" icon="circle-check">
    All positions on the role have been filled. No further submissions are expected.
  </Card>

  <Card title="On Hold" icon="circle-pause">
    Recruiting is temporarily paused — the client may have frozen hiring or the brief needs clarifying. The role isn't closed, just paused.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Closed" icon="circle-xmark">
    The role is no longer active, whether it was ultimately filled or not. No new submissions should be made against a closed job.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cancelled" icon="ban">
    The role was called off before being filled — for example, the client cancelled the requirement or it was filled internally.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Inactive" icon="circle-minus">
    The job is not currently being worked and is hidden from default active job views. Use this for roles that are on long-term pause or deprioritised.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How to Change a Job's Status

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the job record">
    Navigate to **Jobs** in the main navigation and open the role you want to update.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the Status badge">
    Find the **Status badge** at the top of the job record and click it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the new status">
    Choose the new status from the dropdown list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    The change saves immediately. The new status appears on the badge, and the change is automatically logged in the job's activity history with a timestamp.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Get in the habit of updating job status promptly — it keeps your pipeline reporting accurate and helps your team quickly see what still needs attention versus what's been wrapped up.
</Tip>

## Closed and Cancelled Jobs Are Never Deleted

<Note>
  Closing or cancelling a job doesn't delete it. Closed and cancelled jobs remain in Connekt permanently — they can be found using the **status filter** in the jobs list view and are fully searchable. All associated submissions, placements, notes, and history are preserved. This keeps your records complete for reporting, compliance, and future reference.
