You set up a new job in a short wizard: first the role itself, then how applicants are screened, then how they are interviewed. By the time you publish, the role already has its scoring rubric and its interview plan.

Start a new job
- Go to Jobs in the sidebar.
- Select New job at the top right.
- Work through the three steps below, then select Publish job on the last one.
The wizard saves your work as a draft from the end of step 1, so you can stop at any point and come back later. See Drafts and the job lifecycle.
Let ari do it
You can also ask ari to create the job for you. It works in the background, so you stay on the page you are on: ari asks about the role in the chat (several answers in one message are fine), then saves the draft with its screening questions, scoring, Opener and panel in one go. It publishes only when you confirm on the card in the chat. Give ari a link to an existing posting, such as "create a job from https://www.example.com/careers/designer", and it reads the page first, then creates the draft from it. See ari as a guide and helper.
Step 1: Basics
This step is the role itself: what it is called, where it is done, what it pays and what a candidate needs to bring.

About the job
Requirements
Step 1: Start from an existing job
If the role is already written up, fill the form from it: paste the posting's Link, upload it as a File (PDF or Word, up to 5 MB) or paste its Text, then select Import. No posting yet? Notes takes rough notes instead: bullet points, a message from the hiring manager, anything. Select Generate draft and the AI fills in the title, location, employment type, minimum years, a description and the three skill lists for you. Start from scratch folds the card away.
Step 2: The role
Job title is the only required field here. Typing a new name into Department creates that department. Posting language sets the language candidates see around your text, explained below.
Step 3: Location
Pick On-site, Hybrid or Remote, then where: the offices, or for a remote role the countries applicants may work from. The line under the field shows what candidates will read and whether Google for Jobs can list the role. See The location below.
Step 4: Salary
Salary from, Salary to, a three-letter Currency code such as SGD, and the Period: Per month or Per year. All four are optional. Show the salary on the job page and in search results is off unless you switch it on.
Step 5: Skills
Must-have skills, Preferred skills and Nice-to-have skills. Type a skill and press Enter or a comma to add it. You need at least one must-have.
Select Continue to screening to save the draft and move on.
Importing an existing posting
An import keeps the posting's own wording. The description comes back as the posting wrote it, cleaned of the page around it: menus, cookie notices, share buttons and the how-to-apply instructions are left out. The title, location, employment type, minimum years and salary are filled only when the posting states them (a location the import can read, such as Berlin, Germany, fills the location fields; anything else is shown as saved text for you to set), and the requirements are split into must-have, preferred and nice-to-have skills as short tags.
Every field the import filled says Imported, check until you change it or dismiss the marker. Where a published job normally says something the posting does not, such as the salary range or the location, you get a placeholder like [CONFIRM: salary range], marked as missing under its field, and Continue to screening shows how many are left. Nothing is saved until you continue.

The Link tab appears only where reading web pages is set up for your workspace; a file or the pasted text works everywhere. LinkedIn and other social networks can't be read: paste the posting's text instead. Imports are limited per person and per workspace each hour.
How the AI draft works
The draft only uses facts that are in your notes. Where a good job description would normally need something your notes do not say, such as the salary, benefits or team size, the AI writes a placeholder like [CONFIRM: salary range] instead of guessing. Read every field and replace each placeholder; Continue to screening shows how many are left. Publish stays locked while any placeholder is left, and the job's page and the last wizard step name the ones that remain.
The draft also picks up the tone of your company's values and screening standards, if you have set them. See Tune your screening profile.
The location
You set a job's location in steps rather than typing it, so candidates and Google for Jobs read the same thing:
- Work arrangement: On-site (at one or more offices), Hybrid (partly at an office, partly remote) or Remote (fully remote).
- Offices: for an on-site or hybrid role, at least one. Each office is a City and a Country, picked from a list you can search in your language. State or region and Postal code are optional. Select Add an office for another one; a role at several offices lists each of them. A remote role can name offices too, if candidates may also work from one.
- Applicants may work from: for a remote role, the countries candidates may live and work in. Add them one by one with Add a country, or start from a region and remove the countries that do not apply: Southeast Asia (ASEAN) (the ASEAN members, Timor-Leste included), the European Union (its member states), DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), the Nordics (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) (Southeast Asia, China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand). Point at a region, or move to it with the keyboard, to see the countries it adds; once added they appear as chips you can remove one by one. Anywhere is allowed too.
Under the field, two lines update as you go:
- Candidates see: the location exactly as the apply page, the careers page, emails and exports will show it, written in the posting language, for example Bangkok, Thailand · Hybrid or Remote (Singapore, Malaysia, +4).
- Google for Jobs: the countries the role can appear in, or what is missing, for example Not on Google for Jobs: add at least one country applicants may work from. It follows the same rules as the job data on the apply page.
You can save a draft with the location half done. A job only goes live once its location is complete, and an open job's location can only be changed to a complete one (other edits to it are never held up): a remote role needs at least one country or Anywhere, an on-site or hybrid role at least one office, and every office its country. Clear the location removes it altogether. ari can read a job's location but cannot rewrite one set in the location editor: change it there.
A job created before locations worked this way keeps its location as written. Where the text says it clearly, such as Bangkok, Thailand or Remote (Singapore), the editor opens with it already filled in and saving keeps your wording. Otherwise, such as Southeast Asia or just Remote, the editor shows the saved text and you pick the arrangement and places yourself.
The salary range
The salary you enter is kept with the job. It is used when you post the role to job boards: boards with a salary field get it in that field, and boards without one get it as a line in the description. See Job boards, social media and tracked links.
By default the salary is not shown on the public apply page and is not in the job data search engines read. Switch on Show the salary on the job page and in search results to show the range to candidates, for example SGD 5,000–7,000 per month. It then also goes into the job data Google for Jobs reads. It needs a currency and at least one amount. See Apply links and branded apply pages.
If you fill in both ends, the minimum must not be above the maximum.
The posting language
Each job can be posted in English, German (Deutsch), Thai (ภาษาไทย), Korean (한국어), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt) or Japanese (日本語). Same as the company uses your company's language, which is English unless your workspace was set up otherwise.
The posting language changes what is around your own words: the apply form and its error messages, the notices for screening questions, the note about AI screening, the confirmation, the candidate's status page, the link preview and the emails the candidate receives, from the verification code to a rejection. Your job title, description and requirements are shown exactly as you wrote them, so write them in the posting language yourself. Search engines are told which language the posting is in.
Step 2: Screening
This step decides how applications are checked before anyone reads them:
- Suggested screening topics: the AI reads the role you described and suggests topics. Pick one and it drafts a screening question into your list. See Screening questions and knockouts.
- Screening questions: questions on the apply form, including knockout answers that send an application to review before AI scoring, for a person to decide.
- Scoring for this job: keep your company's default scoring or give this job its own. See Tune your screening profile.
- Opener: an optional first round of questions to candidates after scoring. See Opener: the first contact.
Select Continue to interview when you are done, or Save and finish later.
Step 3: Interview
- Interview panel: the colleagues who usually interview for this role. They are added automatically when you schedule an interview. See Schedule interviews.
- Interview questions: the set every interviewer answers, so feedback can be compared across candidates. See Interviewer scorecards.
- Offer letter: the letter offers for this job start from, the company default unless you pick or write another. See Offer letters.
The Publish card at the bottom sums up what you set: the number of screening questions, whether scoring is custom or the company default, the panel and the interview questions.
Publish the job
Select Publish job. Publishing opens the role, switches on its apply link and lists it on your careers page. Until then, nothing about the job is public. You land on the job's page, where you will find its apply link under Channels. See Apply links and branded apply pages.
Leave Add to org chart as open headcount ticked to place the role on your organisation chart as an open seat. See Build your org chart.
After publishing, you change the role from its own page: Edit for the basics, and Questions, Screening and Interview setup for the rest. See Requirements, versions and stale scores.
