Retention of your hiring data is critical to maintaining the integrity of the hiring process. For this reason, Wonderlic Select prevents deletion of any job openings for which candidates have been invited to test. This safeguard prevents you from losing candidate assessment data used to make hiring decisions.

But, to avoid cluttering your Job Openings Page with candidate listings from previous hiring cycles, Wonderlic Select provides you the ability to archive already-filled job openings and remove them from your active view, while safely protecting the candidate data that contributed to your hiring decisions.

To archive a job opening, click on the archive icon (the downward pointing arrow) on the far right of the desired opening listed on your Job Openings page.

This will remove it from your view of active openings and will also archive the candidates within the opening. But, you can still access this opening by switching to your view of archived openings. To switch views, click on "Archived" at the upper left of your Job Openings page.

Archiving a job opening allows you to remove it from your active view at the end of a hiring cycle. This can help to eliminate clutter on the platform and reduce the risk of confusing similar openings.

Additionally, some Wonderlic Select subscription plans have caps on the number of concurrent job openings permitted. At the end of a hiring cycle, archiving openings for filled jobs can keep you within the boundaries of your selected subscription plan.

Archiving a job opening means that any candidates who have been invited to test for that opening will no longer be able to do so. For this reason, you shouldn't archive an opening until all candidates have been given an ample opportunity to complete the assessment. An optimal time to archive an opening is after you have created your short list of candidates to pursue and/or you have selected your hire(s).

To return a job opening to an active status, begin by switching to your view of archived job openings at the upper left of your Job Openings page. Then, click on the un-archive icon (the upward-pointing arrow) to the far right of the desired opening. The opening will be returned to an active status.

The only circumstance in which you're completely able to delete a Wonderlic Select job opening is when no candidates have been assigned to the opening.

To ensure fair and defensible hiring practices, it's important to retain all information pertaining to steps in your hiring processes. So, it would be inappropriate to destroy any information pertaining to candidates for any positions.

However, if you have cause to completely remove a job opening and no candidates have been listed for the position, you can click on the menu icon to the far right of the job listing and select "Remove Opening" from the dropdown menu. After being prompted to confirm your choice, you'll completely remove the opening from Wonderlic Select.
