Archive and unarchive projects in Recruiter and Recruiter Lite

You can archive up to 10 projects at a time in LinkedIn Recruiter and LinkedIn Recruiter Lite to remove them from your list of active projects. When you archive a project, it will close any active job postings automatically. If you need a job to remain active, wait until the job has closed and then archive the project as needed. You can also unarchive a project that has been archived.

Who can use this feature?

Projects can be archived and unarchived by the project owner, admins, and any users with full access to the project. If you don't have a Recruiter subscription today and would like to learn more, you can contact our Sales team for more information.

To archive a project:
