Update from a draft job ad

Job ads can be modified under their existing URL after they’ve been posted. There are some restrictions when updating a job via Enhanced Job Posting:
  • Job ads cannot be moved between position openings or SEEK hirers.
  • Updates to positionTitle, jobCategories, positionLocation and postingInstructions.seekAdvertisementProductId may result in an additional charge for that job ad.Prices vary  by role and market factors.
  • Questionnaires cannot be modified.See the questionnaire immutability documentation for more information.
  • The application method of a job ad cannot be changed once live on the SEEK platform.If a change is required, the existing job must be closed and a new job ad posted to SEEK with a different application method.

Editing a job ad in the panel

The Enhanced Job Posting panel can be used by a hirer to make edits to an existing job ad. To start an edit, your software should call the render function with the existing job ad’s positionProfileId. This will pre-fill the form with the current values from the job ad.When save is triggered through dispatchEvent('seek:draft:save'), the panel will return a new draft ID that can be used to update the job ad.Drafts created during an edit session are distinct from drafts created when posting a new job ad. For example, if a positionProfileId is not provided to the render function, the resulting draft ID is scoped to posting a new job ad and cannot be used to update an existing job ad.For further information on required props and events, refer to Displaying the panel.

Operations

updatePostedPositionProfileFromDraft

The updatePostedPositionProfileFromDraft mutation updates a live job ad. The PositionProfile’s existing fields will be replaced with the fields from the draft.For example, you could run this mutation to update a job ad with a revised draft:
MutationVariablesResult
CopyGraphQL Explorer
mutation ($input: UpdatePostedPositionProfileInput!) {
  updatePostedPositionProfileFromDraft(input: $input) {
    positionProfile {
      profileId {
        value
      }
    }
  }
}
You will receive a FORBIDDEN error if you try to update a job ad that has already been closed.

Events

PositionProfileUpdated

A PositionProfileUpdated event is emitted when an existing job ad has been updated in the SEEK employment marketplace. You will receive events for SEEK hirers you have a JobPosting relationship with at the time of updating.The PositionProfileUpdated event is not emitted:In response to these events you can request the most up-to-date values of the fields from the position profile.This is an example of a webhook body containing a PositionProfileUpdated event:
