Job Openings

Create, edit and publish job openings, and manage a single role from its detail page.

Job openings is where you create and manage every role you are hiring for. It is the core of the platform. The list shows all your job openings. Open one to see its Details, Description, Terms, Applying and Assessment, plus its Promotions and Talent Pools. From the same job opening you promote the role and source profiles for it.

A job opening holds the role's promotions, its talent pools and its applications. All three belong to that one role, so you can compare what a listing cost with who it brought in. Without a job opening, the role cannot get applications.

Relations

  • Department — gives a new job opening its defaults. Decides the stages its applications move through.
  • Location — where the role is based.
  • Applications — every application belongs to one job opening.
  • Talent Pools: a talent pool tied to this job opening assesses every member against it.
  • Promotions — promotions run per job opening.

Filtering the list

To find one role in the list, filter it.

  1. Open Job Openings.
  2. Search by title or description.
  3. Select Filters and filter on Status, Type, Department, Location or Assignee.
  4. Sort by Title, Updated at or Created at.
  5. Select Columns to choose what is shown.

The list now shows only the roles that match, in the order you sorted them.

Title is always visible. Type, Department, Location, Assignee, Status, Talent Pools and Applications are shown by default, and Promotions, Hours, Published and Created can be added.

Keeping a filtered list is covered under Saving a view.

Using the Kanban board

To see your roles as cards in columns, use the Kanban board.

  1. Open Job Openings and select Kanban.
  2. Select Group by.
  3. Pick Status, Type, Department, Location or Assignee.

Each value becomes a column, and every job opening sits in one of them.

Creating the job opening

Creating a job opening takes five steps: Details, Description, Terms, Applying and Assessment. They match the tabs of the job opening, with the same two columns on each. Picking the department fills most of them in for you.

To start getting applications for a role, create the job opening first.

  1. Open Job Openings and select Create New.
  2. On Details, fill in the Title, then pick the Department, the Location, the Type and the Assignee. The job is written in the company's language.
  3. In the right column, fill in the Salary and the Hours. To show a custom text with the salary, select the info button at the end of the salary field. Then pick the Category, the Industry, the Level and the Education.
  4. Select Next.
  5. On Description, write the Summary, add the Skills, upload a Cover Image and write the Description on the right.
  6. Select Next.
  7. On Terms, check the Benefits and the Requirements.
  8. Select Next.
  9. On Applying, check the Procedure and the Application Form.
  10. Select Next.
  11. On Assessment, check the Assessment Criteria and add any Context.
  12. Select Create Job Opening.

The job opening now appears under Job Openings with the status Draft.

When you pick the Department, Applyfin copies its benefits, requirements, assessment criteria, application form and hiring procedure into the job opening. Terms, Applying and Assessment are already filled in, so you only read them and change what is different for this role.
You do not have to go through the steps in order. Select a step at the top of the screen to open it directly.

Creating it with the agent

The create screen has two modes, switched at the top right: Form (the steps above) and Agent. The agent writes the job opening from a description instead.

To create a job opening by describing it, use the agent.

  1. Open Job Openings and select Create New.
  2. Select Agent at the top right.
  3. Describe the role in Describe the job opening..., or pick a starter and complete it. Attach the job description with the paperclip when you have one as a file, such as a PDF. The agent reads it and fills in far more of the job opening than a short description gives it.
  4. Send the message. The agent starts, reads your departments, locations and defaults, and drafts the title, summary and description.
  5. Answer its questions when it asks for something it cannot decide, such as the department or the salary.
  6. Read the job opening it reports back, and ask for changes in the same chat.

The job opening now appears under Job Openings with the status Draft, like one created through the form. Open it to review every section before you publish.

The chat stays open while you switch between Form and Agent, and the form keeps whatever you had filled in.

Publishing a job opening

A job opening carries one of four statuses: Draft, Published, Fulfilled and Archived. You change the status with the button in the job opening's header. The status decides whether visitors can see the role.

To get a role onto your career page and your feeds, publish it.

  1. Open the job opening.
  2. Select Publish in the header.
  3. Confirm on Publish Job Opening.

The status badge now reads Published, and the role appears on your career page.

Publishing takes up one of your job slots and activates the pending promotions.

Viewing the job on your career page

A published job opening has two icons next to its status badge, after the job's name:

  • The copy icon copies the job's address, to share it or put it in a post.
  • The arrow opens the job's page on your career page in a new tab.

The Link column of the job openings list, and the job cards in the pickers, have the same two icons.

To copy or open the job in a given language, use the icons next to that language on the Translations tab.

The icons show only when the job is published and your company has an active domain. See Career page.

Changing the status

The button in the header shows the most likely next status. Select the arrow beside it for the other options.

  • Mark as Draft — unpublishes the role and ends active promotions.
  • Mark as Fulfilled — the role is filled. Unpublishes it and ends active promotions.
  • Archive — puts the role away. Unpublishes it and ends active promotions.
On a hybrid plan, the publish dialog also asks for a Slot type, either ATS or RPO. On other plans the slot is picked for you.

Translating a job opening

The career page shows a job opening in the language a visitor picks. The Translations tab lists every text of the job in reading order, with one column per language you add: the title, summary, each paragraph of the description, the salary description, benefits, requirements, procedure steps, skills, and the application form's labels, placeholders and options.

  1. Open the job opening and select Translations.
  2. Select Add locale and pick a language. It gets a column in the table.
  3. Fill in the column, or select Translate on it to fill every text that has no translation yet with AI. Adding a language does not translate it on its own.

Each column header shows how many texts that language has translated. Translations save on their own as you type. On a published job they are live on the career page right away, and each column header, the source included, has icons to copy the job's link in that language or open it. An untranslated text shows in the job's own language.

Each job opening has its own languages, apart from the career page's. A new job is written in the company's language and has no other languages yet. Remove locale in a column's menu removes a language and its translations; the Source button next to the search says the job is written in one of its other languages; add the language first. Nothing is translated, and its other translations stay.

On a career page language the job does not have, the job shows in its own language.
A job is translated with AI when it is published, and again each time its text changes while published. Only untranslated texts are filled in, so your own edits stay. A text you change shows as untranslated until its new translation lands. Draft jobs are not translated on their own, but Translate works on them.
To redo a language, including the texts you wrote yourself, select Clear all in its column's menu, then Translate.
Texts between {{ and }} are filled in on the page. Copy them into the translation exactly as they are, or the translation cannot be saved.

Ordering a promotion

Buying a listing for a job opening is covered under Ordering a promotion. It starts from Promote on the job opening.

Sourcing for a role

Sourcing searches for people who match one role and adds the ones you pick to one of its talent pools.

  1. Open the job opening and select Source in the header.
  2. On Source into a Talent Pool, pick one of the job's talent pools and select Start Sourcing, or create one.

Source Profiles opens for that talent pool, with the search filters taken from this job opening. The filters, the search and adding the people you picked are covered under Source Profiles.

The Talent Pools tab

To see the groups of people being considered for a role, open its Talent Pools tab. It lists the talent pools tied to this job opening.

  1. Open the job opening and select Talent Pools.
  2. Search by name or description, or sort by Updated at, Created at or Name.
  3. Select a talent pool to open it.

To start a new one, select New Talent Pool. The job opening is already picked.

How scoring works

Every member of a talent pool on this tab is scored by the assessment against this job opening's Assessment Criteria. A role without criteria shows no score. Working with the members is covered under Talent Pools.
