[Managing Job Postings](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/wfa-admin?hsLang=en#managing-job-postings) July 22, 2026 # How To Approve New Roles To The Job Board ## Most roles will be auto-approved to the job board, but others may require additional review. This guide outlines how to review flagged roles and approve them for posting. If a role is not auto-approved after a hiring manager submits a new job to the job board, the listing will appear in the **Jobs tab with the "Pending Review" status, indicating the need** for WFA review and approval.  - A role will be flagged for additional review when the posting scores below the necessary numberical threshold based on different job detail including title quality, description completeness, qualifications outlined, grammar, tags, etc. - Roles posted by WFA staff are always auto-approved. ![](https://www.support.civicmatch.org/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-12-2026-02-03-33-3460-AM.png?width=670&height=255&name=image-png-Feb-12-2026-02-03-33-3460-AM.png) To review and approve a job: 1.
