Set up job templates in Recruiting

Learn how Paycor job templates help admins save time and keep job posts consistent by reusing job details when creating or requesting new jobs.

This article is for administrators and Staffing Users.

 

Overview

When you hire people for the same job more than once, you often write the same job post again and again. This can take time.

The Job Templates feature helps with this.

  • An administrator creates job templates.
  • The templates are saved in a shared library.
  • Each template includes key job details, like the title and description.
  • When you create or request a job, the system fills in these details for you.

Using job templates saves time and helps keep job posts clear and consistent.
