Job visibility on OnlineJobs depends on your membership plan, subscription status, and any expiration settings you choose when publishing the job.
By default, jobs remain live until they are manually paused, deleted, or affected by subscription changes.
Free Plan Job Duration
The free employer plan includes:
1 total job posting
1 active job posting
By default, free plan jobs stay live indefinitely unless:
You manually pause the job
You delete the job
You set a custom expiration date
Features are limited on a free plan.
Premium Plan Job Duration
For paid membership plans, jobs remain active as long as:
Your subscription is active
The job is not manually paused or deleted
No custom expiration date has been reached
This allows employers to keep listings live continuously while their subscription remains active.
Set a Custom Expiration Date
When creating or editing a job posting, you can choose to set a custom expiration date.
This is useful if:
Hiring is time-sensitive
Applications should close after a certain date
The role has a limited recruitment window
Once the expiration date is reached:
The job becomes hidden from public listings
Candidate applications are disabled
What Happens When a Subscription Expires?
If your paid subscription expires:
All active jobs are automatically paused
Jobs become hidden from public listings
Applications are disabled temporarily
You will receive subscription expiration warnings before this happens.
Once your subscription is renewed:
You can reactivate eligible job postings again.
Returning to the Free Plan
If your subscription expires and your account returns to the free plan:
Free plan limitations will apply again
You may keep only the job posting capacity included in the free plan
The free plan currently includes:
1 total job posting
1 active job posting
Do Paused Jobs Still Expire?
Yes.
Paused jobs still follow their original expiration settings and membership rules.
For example:
A paused job with a custom expiration date can still expire while paused
Subscription limitations still apply to paused listings
Reactivating Expired or Paused Jobs
Depending on your current membership status, you may be able to:
Reactivate paused jobs
Edit expired listings
Publish jobs again after renewing your subscription
These actions can be managed from the My Jobs section of your dashboard.
Troubleshooting
Why did my job disappear?
A job may become hidden if:
It expired
Your subscription expired
The job was manually paused
The listing is under moderation review
Can I reactivate an expired job?
Yes, in many cases expired jobs can be reactivated if your membership plan allows active job postings.
Will I be warned before my subscription expires?
Yes. OnlineJobs sends reminders before subscription expiration to help prevent unexpected job interruptions.
Pro Tip
Keep your job postings updated and remove inactive listings regularly.
Fresh and active job postings often perform better in search results and attract more relevant applicants on OnlineJobs.
