Stop actively working a requisition without filling it — for example, if the role is no longer needed or hiring is paused.

When you can close a requisition

Close is available from Open, Approved, Ready to Open, Pending Approval, and Not Approved (rejected) states. It's not available if the requisition is currently tied to an active offer — see Good to know.

Closing a requisition

• Go to Requisitions and locate the requisition.

• Open its action menu (or the requisition record itself) and select Close.

• Confirm the action.

• The requisition's status updates to Closed and it's removed from active/open counts, though it remains visible under a Closed filter.

Closing requisitions in a group

If the requisition is part of a group (created via bulk headcount), you can close it individually or close the whole group at once as a group action. Closing a single member of a group detaches it from the group — it becomes an independent requisition and no longer affects or is affected by the rest of the group's status.

Close vs. Archive vs. Reject

• Close stops active work on a requisition without filling it. Closed requisitions can generally still be reopened.

• Archive removes a requisition from active views entirely. You can only archive a requisition that's already Closed or Filled — you can't archive directly from an open or in-progress state.

• Reject is an approval-stage outcome (an approver declines the requisition), which is different from closing — a rejected requisition can also be closed afterward if it's not going to be resubmitted. See "Approving or rejecting a requisition."

Good to know

• You can't close a requisition that's tied to an active offer. The Close option is disabled with a tooltip explaining that you need to delete the associated offer first. This also applies to editing and marking the requisition confidential — all are locked while an offer is attached.

• Closing a requisition doesn't close its linked job. The job stays Open until you close it separately. See "Tracking requisition status" for more on this gap.

• Closing from a Filled state is one-way. If a requisition was Filled and you close it from there, it can't be reopened afterward — this is intentional. Closing from other states (Open, Approved, Ready to Open, Pending Approval, Not Approved) generally can be reopened. See "Tracking requisition status" for the full reopen rules.

• Closing a member of a requisition group detaches it from the group. The rest of the group is unaffected.

FAQ

• How do I close a requisition? Open the requisition or use its row/card menu in the Requisitions list, then select Close.

• Why is the Close option greyed out on my requisition? It's likely tied to an active offer. Delete the associated offer first, then you'll be able to close it.

• Can I close a requisition that's part of a group? Yes — either individually (which detaches it from the group) or as a group action that closes the whole group at once.

• Can I close a rejected requisition? Yes — Close is available from the Not Approved (rejected) state as well.

• What's the difference between closing and archiving a requisition? Closing stops active work without filling the role; the requisition can generally still be reopened. Archiving removes it from active views entirely, and you can only archive once it's already Closed or Filled.

• Can I reopen a requisition after I close it? Usually, yes — unless it was closed from a Filled state, in which case reopening isn't available. See "Tracking requisition status" for details.
