Job Setup Wizard
The Job Setup Wizard is a dedicated interface for configuring a job's structure and settings. It covers five steps: Job Details, Application Form, Stages, AI Configuration, and Team.
The wizard is used in two situations:
- Creating a new job — the wizard opens automatically after the job title and details are entered
- Editing an existing job — open the wizard from the pencil icon or the gear (Job Settings) menu in the job header
Before You Start
Required permission: EditJob Job Permission, Super Admin, or Admin
Accessing the Wizard
When Creating a Job
- Click Jobs in the sidebar, then Create New Job
- Complete Step 1 (Job Details) and click Create & Next
- The wizard continues to Step 2 automatically
When Editing an Existing Job
From any job page, two entry points open the wizard:
| Entry point | Where | Opens at |
|---|---|---|
| Pencil icon | Job header (next to the job title) | Step 1 — Job Details |
| Gear icon (Job Settings) | Job header | Dropdown to jump directly to any step |
The gear icon dropdown lets you jump to a specific step without passing through the others:
- Application Form
- Stages
- AI Configuration
- Team
Wizard Steps
The wizard has a stepper sidebar on the left (or a horizontal step bar on mobile) showing all five steps. Steps are numbered and the current step is highlighted. Click any step to navigate to it directly.
| Step | What You Configure |
|---|---|
| 1. Job Details | Title, description, job type, experience, location, compensation, and optional fields |
| 2. Application Form | Questions and fields shown to candidates when they apply |
| 3. Stages | Interview pipeline stages for this job |
| 4. AI Configuration | Entity extraction, AI instructions, and interview templates |
| 5. Team | Team members and their job roles for this job |
Step Availability

|---|---|
| Create mode | Only Step 1 is accessible until the job is created. Steps 2–5 unlock after clicking Create & Next in Step 1. |
| Edit mode | All steps are accessible immediately. |
Navigation Controls
Each step has navigation buttons at the bottom.

The Back to Job link at the top of the wizard always returns to the job overview without saving unsaved changes on the current step.
Step 1 — Job Details
Enter the core information for the job posting.
Required fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Job Title | Clear, searchable title (max 255 characters) |
| Job Description | Full description with markdown support |
| Job Type | Full Time, Part Time, Contract, Internship, Volunteer, Temporary, Other |
| Experience Level | Type your own or select a suggestion (0–1 years, 2–5 years, 6–10 years, 11–15 years, 16+ years) |
| Location Type | Remote, Hybrid, On-site |
| City | Specific city location (max 100 characters) |
| Country | Job location country |
Optional fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Salary | Fixed amount or range with currency and frequency |
| Industry | Industry category |
| Department | Organizational department |
| Application Deadline | Closing date — past dates are not allowed |
| Number of Openings | Minimum 1 |
For recruitment agencies, a Client dropdown appears at the top of the form. The client is required when creating a job and cannot be changed after creation.
Step 2 — Application Form
Configure the form that candidates fill out when applying. See Application Forms for full details.
Step 3 — Stages
Configure the interview pipeline stages for this job. See Interview Stages for full details.
Step 4 — AI Configuration
Set up entity extraction, AI instructions, and interview templates for automated candidate evaluation. See AI Configuration for full details.
Step 5 — Team
Add team members and assign them job roles. Each team member's job role controls what they can do on this job.
Default Assignee
At the top of the Team step, a Default Assignee dropdown lets you choose which team member automatically receives new inbox items created for this job — for example, new application notifications, completed screenings, and interview events.
| Option | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Unassigned (team claims) | Items go into the shared queue. Team members can claim them. |
| A specific team member | Items are automatically assigned to that person when created. |
The dropdown is populated from the current team member list. If you set a default assignee and later remove that person from the team, items will fall back to the shared queue.
Use the default assignee to route all inbox activity for a job directly to the recruiter responsible for it, so nothing sits unclaimed.
Team Members
- Click Add Member to search for a user and assign their job role
- Click the pencil icon on a row to change a member's role inline
- Click the trash icon on a row to remove a member from the job
After Finishing
After completing the wizard (create mode) or closing it (edit mode), you are returned to the Job Overview page.
From the overview, publish the job using the status dropdown in the job header when you are ready for candidates to apply.
You do not need to complete all wizard steps before publishing. A job can be published with just the details filled in. Configure the application form, stages, AI, and team at any time.
