# Close job

> Close an open job and take it off every connected job board. Inputs, cURL, Python and Node.js examples and an example response.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/recruiterflow/close_job

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Close an open job and take it off every connected job board.

Recruiterflow API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/recruiterflow.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/recruiterflow/jobs/{job_id}/close`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Closes one job, as Close Job in the job menu does. Recruiterflow closes it at once and pulls it from every connected job board and the careers page. Candidates stay in their stages and nothing is archived or deleted. Reopen it in Recruiterflow with Reopen Job in the same menu, which publishes it to the boards again. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `job_id` | string | yes | Open job id from list_jobs. |

```bash
