    At any point, you can open and close jobs from the My Jobs page. Certain features, such as Candidate Volume Optimizer, can be set up on your jobs when you open them to automatically turn a job off for you or notify you when a set number of candidates reached a specific stage in the hiring process.

    If you utilize the Approvals Engine feature, then you will have to submit a request to enable a job first. Learn more about submitting a request here.
