 * Hi,
 * When an applicant is marked as hired it appears to mark the position as filled
   for that Job.
 * Is it possible to stop this from happening?
 * We have some jobs that we want to remain open but want to mark the applicant 
   as hired so we can see the status of the applicants.
 * Regards,
    Jamie

 * Hi [@jdobbsy1987](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdobbsy1987/) ,
 * Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to have a job with multiple openings.
   We do have an open enhancement request to implement this feature, to which I’ve
   added your request. I can’t give you an ETA on when (or if) it might be implemented.
 * CAVEAT: The following potential workaround requires the Applications paid addon.
 * You could use a code snippet to create a custom application status you can use,
   instead of the default, to avoid triggering the change of the Job listing status.
 * You can see the tutorial about creating custom application statuses here: [https://wpjobmanager.com/document/applications-customising-application-statuses/](https://wpjobmanager.com/document/applications-customising-application-statuses/)
 * Best,
    Cena
