Definition

Requisition closed / position closed usually means the posting is no longer active in the hiring system.

What’s usually happening behind the scenes

Teams may have selected a candidate, paused hiring, changed budget plans, or restructured the role scope.

Why it stays in this status

Once a requisition is closed, systems commonly keep it closed unless a new requisition is opened.

How long it usually lasts

It usually remains closed permanently for that specific posting.

What usually doesn’t help

Repeatedly reapplying to the same closed requisition usually does not reopen it.

When action might make sense

If no timeline was shared, a concise follow-up is often reasonable after about one to two weeks. If a timeline was shared, following up after that window is often reasonable while continuing other active applications.
