# Jobs

> Create roles, build their pipeline and application form, assign a hiring team, and publish.

A job holds everything about one open role: its description, hiring team,
pipeline, application questions, and public posting. You manage jobs from
**Jobs** in the sidebar.

## Create a job

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start the job">
    Open **Jobs** and select **New job**. Enter the title, department,
    location, and employment type. Save early — a job starts as a draft and is
    not public until you publish it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the description">
    Add the role summary, responsibilities, and requirements. This is the text
    candidates read on the [career page](/product/career-page), so keep it
    accurate and free of internal notes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the pipeline">
    Assign the stages the applications will move through. A practical default is
    `Applied`, `Screen`, `Interview`, `Offer`, and `Hired`, with a separate
    rejected or withdrawn outcome. Configure stages in **Settings → Pipelines**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Build the application form">
    Decide which fields and screening questions candidates answer. Ask only for
    what you need at the apply step; you can request documents later through
    [document requests](/product/documents).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign the hiring team">
    Add the hiring manager, recruiters, and interviewers. Access follows their
    [role](/security/access-control): a member scoped to `assigned` jobs only
    sees the requisitions they are on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    Review the public preview, then publish. The job appears on your career page
    and accepts applications immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Job states

| State  | Meaning                                                                   |
| ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Draft  | Editable and private. Not listed publicly and not accepting applications. |
| Open   | Listed on the career page and accepting applications.                     |
| Closed | No longer accepting applications; existing applications stay editable.    |

Closing a job does not reject its open applications. Decide each outcome on the
[pipeline](/product/candidates-and-pipeline) so candidates receive the right
communication.

## Editing a published job

You can edit a published job's description and team without unpublishing it.
Changing the pipeline of a job that already has applications moves those
applications onto the new stages — review the mapping before you save so no
application lands in an unexpected place.

<Tip>
  Keep one accountable hiring manager per job. Scorecards, interview feedback,
  and the final decision are easier to review when ownership is clear.
