Thanks for getting back to me.

I was considering redirecting deleted single job post URLs to the Job Listings Page. I since saw the github post that you mentioned, (it took a while to unearth) and I see that you recommend leaving a status code of 404, which negates my question for the 301 redirects.

In case someone else has the same question, I thought I would clarify.

Because the permalinks for Jobs custom post type is inherently set to Post Name, and many of the job listings on the site I’m building have the exact same title, I wondered what would happen if I deleted http://www.website/ job/human-resources-relations-manager, then redirected it to the jobs listings page http://www.website/job-opportunities/, and then entered an new job listing with the title Human Resources Relations Manager?

I ended up using the “Custom Post Type Permalinks” plugin so I could customize the Jobs CPT permalinks to Day and Name: http://www.website/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ and that way single job listings with the same title will all have unique URLs.
