My Job and Job Posting is no longer needed - will I be penalized for this?

[bernie-r]

I posted a job yesterday and after some discussion with my working partners, we decided to shelve one of our projects/products and go a different direction.  We had multiple applicants and a few decent candidates, but we cannot proceed at this time, so we will need to cancel the posting.   We did not hire or interview or offer a contract to anyone.

Will I get penalized for this in any way?  I have read that all that apply should get their credits back, which is a concern of mine.   Thanks.

No, you will not be penalized in any way.

If you don't want to hire someone, then don't hire someone.

Just take down the job posting.
