You can pause applications for each active job opening. This feature allows you to build a talent pool, keep candidates informed, and manage your hiring process efficiently. 

Let candidates find you: People are spending more time on their phones and laptops now. Keep your job postings visible even if you’re not actively hiring, allowing potential candidates to learn about your openings.

Build a talent pool: Even though you’re not ready to hire right now, it’s still smart to build a talent pool. Give candidates the opportunity to share their basic info without requiring them to apply immediately.

Notify candidates when you’re ready: Whenever you decide to resume hiring for your role(s), you can easily notify all interested candidates, making your recruitment process smoother.

Talent and candidates that have signed up to be notified will be shown in the job overview, just like other candidates. Their origin will be "Signed up" which means they've signed up when applications for that job were paused.&nbsp;
