Set job status
Change a job to Open, On Hold, Drafting, Filled, Cancelled or Closed.
MCP tool jazzhr_write → set_job_status
write Confirm
Does what the Job Status drop-down on the job does. Open makes the job visible on your careers page and lets JazzHR send it to the free job boards you selected; any other status takes it off partner job boards and stops new applications. Cancelled applies to jobs that went through job approval. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
