Job Posting & Management

Steps for Editing an Active Job Post

1. Access the Job Post
   • Navigate to your Job Dashboard and locate the job listing you want to edit. Click on the job title to open the Job Details Page.
2. Initiate Editing
   • Select the Edit Job option, typically found on the job details page. This opens the job post for editing, allowing modifications to fields such as the job title, description, required skills, project duration, and budget.
3. Update Key Fields as Needed
   • Job Title and Description: Modify these fields to reflect any changes in project scope or responsibilities.
   • Skills and Experience: Add or adjust required skills to ensure candidates meet evolving project needs. You may also update the experience level to attract candidates with the desired expertise.
   • Project Type and Duration: Update contract type or project duration if necessary. However, note that contract type (e.g., hourly or fixed-price) cannot be changed once the post is live.
   • Budget and Payment Terms: Adjust hourly or fixed rates as needed to match project funding, provided these changes comply with platform guidelines.
   • Deadline: Update the project’s deadline to reflect any timeline changes, with the earliest available date based on Loxala’s notice period requirements.
4. Save and Review Changes
   • Click Save Changes once all updates are complete. Review the job post to confirm accuracy and relevance before re-publishing.
5. Republish or Close Job
   • After saving, choose whether to immediately publish the edited job post or keep it in draft form for further review. For posts that no longer fit project requirements, you can also choose to close the job listing.

Editing Permissions and Restrictions

• Active Jobs: Most fields are editable in active jobs; however, the job type (hourly, fixed-price) cannot be changed once the post is live.
• Paused Jobs: Paused jobs remain editable, and employers may update requirements as they await candidate selection.
• Under Review Status: Jobs under review cannot be edited until they pass platform checks and are approved.

Best Practices for Editing Job Posts

• Provide Clarity: Ensure descriptions are clear and specific to reduce potential candidate questions and attract suitable freelancers.
• Optimize for Skills: Regularly update skills to stay aligned with project goals.
• Review Deadlines and Budgets: Adjust timelines and budgets realistically, ensuring they meet the current project needs and freelancer expectations. Can I change the job type (hourly to fixed-price) after posting?
