Create Evergreen Postings

Evergreen postings are periodically refreshed so that they appear at the top of the Job Search screen on your client career sites and on the Indeed website if used. You can also configure evergreen postings to allow users to reapply after a defined period of time.

Note the following about evergreen postings:

  • A requisition doesn't have to be evergreen to set its postings as evergreen. For example, it is possible for an evergreen requisition to contain non-evergreen postings, or vice versa. While evergreen requisitions and postings support the same goal of continuous hiring, they are still two independent functions.
  • You can create evergreen postings for the internal and external client sites, but not for external job board postings (that is, not for postings created using eQuest).
  • You can create evergreen postings with new or existing postings.

To create an evergreen posting:

  1. Go to Recruiting.
  2. In the Job Requisitions tab, open the job requisition that you want to create an evergreen posting for.
  3. In the opened job requisition, click the Postings tab.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • Create a posting by clicking Post > To Client Site(s).
    • Edit an existing posting by selecting and then clicking Edit.
    • Edit an existing posting by right-clicking and then clicking Edit.
  5. A wizard opens in which you can create or edit the posting.
  6. In the Posting Details screen of the wizard, select the Evergreen checkbox. Recruiting displays the Reapply period in days, Repost period in days, and Original Posting Date fields below the checkbox.
  7. Do the following in each field:
    • Reapply period in days: (Optional) Enter the number of days that candidates need to wait before they can reapply to the posting.
    • For more information about the requirements and candidate experience for reapplying to a job posting, see Candidate Reapply Feature.
    • Repost period in days: Enter a number of days to define how often the posting will be reposted. This period is set to 90 days by default. You can update this default value; however, it is recommended that you use the default 90-day reposting period if posting to Indeed. The repost period cannot be less than 30 days.
    • When the repost period is reached, the current posting is closed and a new posting is created. The new posting has the same settings as the original posting, but with a new posting ID and the current date as the posting date.
    • Note: Dayforce can't guarantee that your evergreen postings will be accepted by Indeed. However, having a new posting ID and a 90-day reposting period increases the likelihood of the posting passing Indeed's quality guidelines. See Indeed Postings.
    • Original Posting Date: This field is read-only and displays the date that the job was originally posted. It isn’t populated until the original posting is closed and a new posting is created.
  8. Configure the remaining fields in the wizard. See Client Site Posting Fields.
  9. Click Finish.
