How long are job announcements shown?

Job announcements will be shown on the website up until one day after the application deadline. When four months have passed since the deadline, the job announcement will be automatically closed: This means that the job will remain in the database, but only the job owner will have access to the announcement. When one year has passed since the deadline, the announcement will be deleted from the database.

If the job announcement doesn't have an application deadline, it will be deleted automatically after one year has passed since it was posted. If the job doesn't have an application deadline and it was since closed, it will be deleted one year after the announcement was created.
