Zero Ghost Jobs Agent | RippleHire Agent Builder

The problem

A filled role with a live posting is a promise you cannot keep

A role gets filled and everyone moves on to the next one. The posting stays live because taking it down is nobody's job. Candidates keep finding it, keep applying and keep waiting for a reply that will never come.

Someone has to notice the posting, confirm the role is closed and remove it from every channel where it appears. That is coordination work sitting on a recruiter’s desk. In the meantime, sourcing spend keeps running against a role that no longer needs it, applications pile up that nobody will read, and every candidate who hears nothing carries that silence into how they talk about your brand.

Trigger

Daily schedule runs

The agent evaluates every active job each day. Nobody has to start the process or remember it exists.

Condition

Your thresholds are crossed

A job passes your day threshold or all of its positions are filled. Either condition can trigger action on its own, or you can combine both.

Action

Unpublish the job

The agent removes the posting from the Career Site, with the flexibility to extend to other channels.

Communication

Log the full audit trail

Every unpublish action carries the trigger reason and timestamp, so your team can see exactly what happened and why.

Configure once. The agent coordinates from there.

Part of something bigger

Agents coordinate every step around the recruiter

Job unpublishing is one workflow Agent Builder can coordinate. Smart Job Distribution opens roles with full reach; this agent closes them cleanly. Pipeline Hygiene applies the same discipline to candidates who stall. The Approval Agent governs the requisition before it ever goes live.

The pattern stays the same: agents handle the coordination, while recruiters handle the conversations, decisions and relationships that move hiring forward.

Explore Agent Builder

It monitors every active job and unpublishes any posting that has crossed the thresholds you define, either a number of days live or all positions filled. Candidates stop applying to roles that no longer exist.

Two conditions. A day threshold unpublishes the job after it has been live for a set number of days, and a positions threshold unpublishes it once the configured number of positions is filled. Use either on its own or combine both.

Yes. Thresholds can be configured per job type, department or seniority level, so a niche leadership search and a high-volume role can each follow their own rules.

The Career Site, with the flexibility to extend the workflow to other channels where the job appears.

They stay in your pipeline for your team to handle the way you do today. Unpublishing stops new applications from arriving. It does not touch the ones you already have.

No. Once the agent is configured, it acts on your rules automatically, and every action is logged with its reason and timestamp so the team can review what happened.

Yes. A reopened role can be published like any other job, and the agent applies your rules to it from that point on.

No. Zero Ghost Jobs is one use case for Agent Builder. A stricter variant can cancel a dead requisition outright to free its headcount, and the same framework can coordinate many other repetitive steps across the hiring process.
