Okay, thank you for your assistance. I have since got the switch out, and retried recruitment focuses setting up all 6 across different positions. For example, I set up ST with the parameters
CA 0.5+ star
PA 3.5+ star
Age at most 19
No specific role set. This absolutely should yield results.
See attached picture. The recruitment focus came back within 2 weeks, stating the results found 17 recommendations but that the search had ended and I have the option to restart. This is despite it recommending that I keep going with the search for players. When I press restart it initially does nothing. It is worth noting at one point I have spam pressed restart, carried on the save and came back to 7/6 recruitment focuses as a result of my spam clicking.
As for finding recruitment focuses that are completed, it just doesn't quite make sense. For example my DC focus has completed, yielded 10 results after 2 weeks and ended despite being recommended to continue. When I press the completed tab on the overview page it doesn't appear on the list. I have to find it through the arrows, flicking through active to completed. The way that works is to go to recruitment focuses, and press the drop down on the left beside completed to find active and completed tasks.
