2027 update: Review each open posting at the start of 2027 and refresh any that have not been updated in the last week.

2026 Update: Algorithm changes across major job platforms in 2025-2026 now prioritize fresher listings more aggressively. Job postings refreshed every 7-10 days receive 47% more applicant views. Indeed and ZipRecruiter now flag listings older than 30 days, reducing their visibility by up to 60%. Setting a weekly posting refresh cadence is now a best practice for high-volume trades hiring. Employers who’d rather skip the hassle can use a postings-only recruiting service or browse ready-to-hire candidates directly at BCRecruits.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I update job postings?

Refresh active postings regularly, at least weekly while you are actively hiring, so they stay visible.

Why do old job postings perform worse?

Job boards tend to favor recent listings, and old ones look stale to candidates.

What should I change when I refresh a posting?

The title, the opening lines, the pay range and any outdated requirements.

Should I repost or edit a job posting?

Follow each platform’s rules. Editing and renewing usually works better than posting duplicates.
