Unfortunately, no.
It's ridiculous that connects aren't refunded when a job expires, especially now that we're paying for those connects. Why should we spend money to apply for a job that doesn't hire? How is it fair that we pay when, in the end, there is a 0% chance of getting a return on our investment? It doesn't make sense. (Can you tell that I'm not a gambler and Vegas is not my cup of tea?)
I really hope this changes. A large percentage of the jobs I apply to uninvited never hire. It didn't bother me when my connects were free and renewed every month, but now that they're a finite resource I pay for...I'm bothered.

The only case connects return other than when the job is violating ToS is when the client closes the job without hiring anyone, which is something that seldom, if ever, happens. They usually leave it open.
