Remember to add them to the job posting as a hiring manager so they can co-manage this role and view hiring activity. See [How to Add a Hiring Manager to a Role](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/how-to-add-a-hiring-manager-to-a-role?hsLang=en) for details. - Ensure job details are concise and to-the-point, while remaining sufficiently detailed, so job seekers can easily grasp the key information. - Select up to 6 professional skills tags. These tags should be tailored, yet inclusive, to maximize the chance of attracting highly qualified candidates to your role. - Civic Match is typically a good fit for recruiting talent for a range of roles in policy implementation and local government leadership.

How do I make an update?** To modify a job posting, open the job details, click **Edit Job**, implement the desired changes, and then save. Updates can be made at any time.  ###### **I accidentally created a duplicate role. What should I do?** Our job board does not allow for a role to be deleted permanently, but you can remove the duplicate role from the job board by changing its closing date to any date in the past. This will remove the role from public view. For instructions on how to close a role, see [How to Close a Role](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/how-to-close-a-role?hsLang=en).  ### **Still stuck?** Contact support at [**support@workforamerica.org**](mailto:support@workforamerica.org) for assistance**.**  - [Job Seekers](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/job-seekers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/job-seekers?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Managing Your Civic Match Profile](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/job-seekers?hsLang=en#managing-your-civic-match-profile) - [Searching for Roles](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/job-seekers?hsLang=en#searching-for-roles) - [Expressing Interest in Roles](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/job-seekers?hsLang=en#expressing-interest-in-roles) - [Resources](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/job-seekers?hsLang=en#resources) - [Hiring Managers](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/hiring-managers?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/hiring-managers?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Managing Roles on the Job Board](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/hiring-managers?hsLang=en#managing-roles-on-the-job-board) - [Sourcing Candidates](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/hiring-managers?hsLang=en#sourcing-candidates) - [Resources](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/hiring-managers?hsLang=en#resources) - [WFA Admin](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/wfa-admin?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Resources](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/wfa-admin?hsLang=en#resources) - [Managing User Accounts](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/wfa-admin?hsLang=en#managing-user-accounts) - [Managing Job Postings](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/wfa-admin?hsLang=en#managing-job-postings) - [Demo Scripts](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/wfa-admin?hsLang=en#demo-scripts) - [Events](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/wfa-admin?hsLang=en#events) [![WFA-logo-vertical-cream](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/WFA-logo-vertical-cream.png?width=269&height=100&name=WFA-logo-vertical-cream.png "WFA-logo-vertical-cream")](https://www.workforamerica.org) [AB](https://www.workforamerica.org/about)[OUT](https://www.workforamerica.org/about) [CIVIC MATCH](https://www.CIVICMATCH.ORG) [civicmatch@workforamerica.org](mailto:civicmatch@workforamerica.org) ★ [support@workforamerica.org](mailto:support@workforamerica.org) ★ [Privacy policy](https://www.workforamerica.org/privacy-policy) ★ [Term of use](https://www.workforamerica.org/term-of-use) [mailto:support@workforamerica.org](mailto:support@workforamerica.org)
