    Yes, duplicate content on your site is a major problem, as Google penalizes for duplicate content. You can paraphrase their job descriptions to make them unique.

    Many people was using robot.txt files for duplicate content but now as we know Google is getting very smart engineers so they are avoiding those type of duplications.

    I would like to tell you that remove those posts, content which is doubtful or stolen because its not good for your website's future. You can get many of new clients after deleting duplicate content users. You can hide other things but you can't content. Content is the King of SEO.

    check every post and ensure it's original before publishing it, you should tell the visitors that only original and unique content will be accepted.

    in this case you have to change your site setting so that a post will not go live until you approve it.

    You can put this in your site's terms and conditions that please upload unique content only. Duplicate content will not be published. This thing must be shown on the page where people upload their Job Openings.

    This is where the job of a moderator starts. Check and preview the content posted by users and then publish the only unique content. Duplicate content always harms.
