How to edit your Job Advert in Refari

This article explains how to edit a job advert directly in Refari, so you can change how it appears on your Refari job board without touching the advert on other job boards. It is useful when you want to add something your ATS or the other boards cannot show, such as a video in the description, or to fix a category, location or tag.

Note: Once you edit an advert in Refari, it is managed in Refari. Changes you later make to that advert in your ATS (for example JobAdder), such as the title, description or salary, will not be reflected on your Refari job board. Make any future changes in Refari.

Step 1: Open the advert

Once a job has been posted in the normal way, it appears on the Job Ads page of your Refari dashboard. Click the advert you want to change to open its detail page.

Step 2: Click Edit Job Advert

In the Actions panel on the right of the detail page, click Edit job ad.

Step 3: Confirm you want to edit it in Refari

If the advert came from your ATS, Refari asks you to confirm first, because editing it here means future changes must be made here too. Click Yes to carry on.

Step 4: Make your changes

You can change the title, location, recruiter, category, work type, salary, description and tags, and add any tags you missed.

Step 5: Save

Click Save changes. The advert is now marked as edited in Refari: an Edited in Refari icon appears beside it in the Icons column of the Job Ads list, and the Source chip on its detail page reads Edited in Refari.

Good to know

The edit form does not include an expiry date. To give an expired advert a new one, repost it instead: How to repost Job Adverts in Refari ↗.

Because an edited advert is managed in Refari, the Refresh job ad from ATS button, which pulls a fresh copy from your ATS, is no longer shown for it.

Final Notes

If you only want the latest version of an advert from your ATS and have no need to change it in Refari, update it in your ATS and let the sync bring it across. Edit in Refari only when you want the changes to stay in Refari.
