Create a job

Fill in Job details, add the job description, add requirements with a level on each, pick the interview language, and create a job that rounds can be added to.

Before you start

  • An Expert Hire workspace. The 30-day free trial includes 75 Hire Credits and charges nothing for 30 days.
  • The exact job title you want candidates to see.
  • A job description, or the notes to draft one from.
Steps

5 steps, in order.

1

Fill in Job details

Open the client and press Create role. The wizard runs in three steps: Job details, Requirements, and Commercial. The first screen asks for the Role title, for example Senior backend engineer. Location sits under it and takes a city or the word Remote. It is optional. Further down the same screen, below the job description editor, sit three toggles. Use company branding puts the company logo on candidate emails and the call screen. Enable workflow lets each round auto-reject or auto-advance candidates by score, and turning it off hides the selection-criteria step when you create a round. Only advance via workflow appears when Enable workflow is on, and stops a new round from auto-pulling the previous round's shortlist.

Only advance via workflow
Adding a round won't auto-pull the previous round's shortlisted candidates. Advancement happens only through workflow rules or manual moves.

Job details. Role title, location, the interview language and the AI voice.

  • Use the title a candidate would search for. It appears on the invite they receive.
  • Job description is required and shows a Minimum 100 characters counter. Role title, Language and Voice are required too.
2

Add the job description, one of three ways

The Job description field is a rich text editor with a 100 character minimum. You have three routes to it. Type or paste your own. Press Upload PDF and attach a JD file. Or press Complete with AI and let it draft one, which comes back with Experience Requirements, Education Requirements and Additional Information already sectioned. The JD is not decoration. Answers in the interview are scored against it.

  • If you upload a file, open the editor afterwards and check the parsed text reads correctly.
  • Keep the responsibilities and the stack in the JD. That is the part scoring uses.

Add requirements and set a level on each

Step 2 is Requirements. Press Add Skill to add a requirement, or press Suggest requirements and let it read the JD and propose a list. Each requirement gets a level of its own, for example Critical, which is how you say what matters most. Nothing is saved until you review it, and the X on each row removes it.

Candidate requirements. Each row carries its own level, and Suggest requirements fills the list from the JD.

  • Delete any suggested requirement you will not ask about. A requirement with no question behind it adds noise to the score.
4

Set the interview language and the voice

Language and Voice sit on the same Job details screen. English is the default language. Voice picks who the candidate hears, for example Andrew, and each voice is labelled with its gender.

  • The language has to be one your organisation has enabled. Anything else is rejected on save.
5

Create the job, then add the first round

Press Create. The job now has a title, a JD and a requirement list with a level on each row. No one can be interviewed yet. Rounds are what run interviews. Add the first round next.
