# recruiting.postings.status

Open a posting to take applications, close it, or return it to draft, with id, status, expectedRevision and idempotencyKey. Administrators, finance and the hiring manager can do this. Public postings appear on the job board only while open.

Permissions: `accounting:read`, `accounting:write` · Roles: admin, finance, contributor · Idempotency key required · Send `expectedRevision`

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | string (ID) | Yes | The record's ID. |
| `status` | enum | Yes | Only include records with this status. One of: `draft`, `open`, `closed`. |
| `expectedRevision` | integer | Yes | The record's current revision, from the last time you read it. If someone changed the record since, the request is refused with a conflict so you can reload and check before trying again. at most 9007199254740991; greater than 0. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
