Create a job opening

A job opening is the job you are hiring for. Every application belongs to one opening, and the opening decides which stages its candidates go through and who works on them.

Before you start

• Recruitment must be switched on in Settings → Apps.
• You need Create openings, move candidates and hire. To add a salary band you also need See salary bands and offers.

Steps

1. Open Recruitment → Openings and select New opening.
2. Type the Job title, and if useful the Department, the branch (or All branches) and the Location.
3. Pick the Type of work: Full time, Part time, Contract, Temporary or Internship.
4. Set People to hire.
5. Write What the job is (shown on the careers page).
6. Tick Publish now (take applications on the careers page) to open it at once, or leave it as a draft.
7. Select Create the opening. You are its first hiring manager.
8. On the opening's page, open Edit the opening. Add the Company (legal entity) if you have more than one.
9. If you may see salaries, fill in Salary from, Salary to and Paid (a month, a year or an hour).
10. Under Hiring managers, tick the people who work on this opening, then select Save.

Change the status

Under Status on the opening's page:

• Publish opens a draft or an opening on hold.
• Put on hold stops new applications for a while.
• Close the opening ends it. Tick When closing, mark the candidates still in progress as "position filled" to close their applications too. A closed opening can be opened again with Open it again.

Good to know

• The tabs on the Recruitment page show Active, Open, Drafts, On hold, Closed and All, with the candidates of each opening by stage.
• Salary bands are hidden from everyone without the salary right: on the list, the opening and the candidate pages. The band is in your organisation's currency.
• On the careers page an opening shows only while it is open and Show on the careers page while open is ticked. The opening's page says when it is not listed and why.
• Hiring managers see the opening and work its candidates even without any recruitment right. Only people who may create openings change the managers or the status.
• Each opening has its own stages, copied from your settings when you create it. See Move candidates through the stages.
• Next: Take applications on your careers page.
