This article is for administrators and Staffing Users.
Overview
When you hire people for the same role more than once, you often write the same job post. This takes time and can create small differences between postings.
Job templates solve this problem.
With job templates:
- Administrators create job templates one time.
- 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, Recruiting fills in these details for you.
Using job templates saves time and helps keep job posts clear and consistent.
Create a new template
- Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking.
- Select Admin > Job Management.
- Select the Job Templates tab.
- Enter the Job Title.
- Write or paste the Job Description, or refer to Use artificial intelligence (AI) generated job descriptions.
Important: If you paste text from another source, select Remove All Formatting after pasting. Hidden formatting can affect how the editor tools work. Use the editor tools to reapply bold text and bullet points as needed. - Enter any additional information. All other fields are optional.
- Select Save.
