Expiring a vacancy

To expire a vacancy:

1. Select a Request Number in Pending Recruitment status from the Request tab on the Dashboard.
2. Click the Vacancy Number link in the Vacancy Created section.
3. Select Expire from the Status drop-down list. Please note, once a vacancy has been expired there is no way to restore the vacancy.

    

   

    

4. The confirmation message “Are you sure you want to expire the Vacancy?” displays.
5. Click Yes.

Notes:

• A vacancy cannot be restored once it has been expired.
• The expiration date is automatically set for 365 days from the date the last certificate was issued or if a user indicates a date the vacancy should be expired.
• An announcement cannot be updated to USAJOBS.
• The USAJOBS Job Status will automatically update to Hiring complete.
• Vacancies in an expired status allow certificates to be issued and selections to be made from an expired vacancy.
• Additional selection requests cannot be linked to an expired vacancy.
• If there are active and unreturned reviews, they are recalled from Hiring Manager users, all “Make and Return Selection” and “Return Review” tasks are moved into a Cancelled status. The review status is recalled and the HR user can see a banner in the review that states it was recalled due to the vacancy being expired. HR can re-issue or create new reviews, if desired.
• Vacancies with issued certificates will remain in Active status until the expiration date of the vacancy is reached. Therefore, even if a new hire record and the request are in Complete status, the Vacancy will stay in Active status until the expiration date passes.
