There are times when a job vacancy needs to be handled discreetly—without publishing it on your website or advertising it on external job boards. iSmartRecruit allows you to mark such jobs as Confidential, ensuring they remain internal while still being managed within the system. With the recent enhancement, you now have greater control over where the job gets published using two simple toggle options.

A Confidential Job is a job that is not publicly advertised. It will not appear on your company’s website or any integrated job boards. This is ideal for sensitive roles or internal hiring needs.
Go to the Jobs Module from the left-hand side menu to open the Active Jobs screen.
Locate the job you want to manage, and click on the Lock icon on the right-hand side of the job row.
This will open the Confidential Job Settings pop-up, where you will find two toggles:
Publish Job on Website
Toggle this option to publish or unpublish the job on your website.
Publish Job on Job Boards
Toggle this option to publish or unpublish the job on external job boards.
The system automatically updates the Lock icon colour based on your toggle selections:
Grayed Open Lock Icon
Both toggles are ON.
This means the job is not confidential and is being advertised.
Green Closed Lock Icon
Both toggles are OFF.
This means the job is confidential—hidden from your website and job boards both.
This real-time indicator helps you quickly identify which jobs are being advertised and which are private.
You can also mark a job as confidential or non-confidential from within the Job View Dialogue Box:
Open any job from the Jobs screen.
Locate the Lock icon inside the Job View dialog.
Adjust the toggles as needed to update the confidentiality status.
If you stop publishing a job to the job boards, please note that it may take 24 to 48 hours for the job to be fully removed due to third-party sync intervals.
