Hire someone, from the job to the offer
Ask for a new job, advertise it on your careers page, move candidates through the stages, interview and make an offer.
What you'll need: The job title, pay and hours.
A job starts as a request.
More detail
Once it's approved, you write the advert, people apply on your careers page, and each candidate moves through the job's stages to an offer. A job's own hiring manager runs it day to day.

Stuck?
I can't see Request a hire
Only people who may ask for a new job see it. Ask HR.
I can't see a candidate's name
The job hides names while you shortlist, so choices are fair. If you need it, press ⋯ on their page, then Show their name now.
I can't see Make an offer
A candidate needs to reach an interview stage first. Move them there.
I'm the hiring manager. What can I change?
Your job's stages, interview times, questions, scoring and offers within its pay range. An offer outside the approved range goes for approval. Changing the job itself, publishing it, closing it and choosing its team stay with HR.
A screening question disappeared from my new job
That way of hiring had a question the law doesn't allow for this role, such as one about convictions. It was left out, and the message when you asked for the hire named it.
I rejected someone by mistake
Press Undo the rejection on their page before the email goes. It waits 24 hours first, unless your company changed that.
Someone on the team wasn't told about a candidate
Only people on the job's hiring team hear about it. Add them to the team on the job's page.
Thanks. That helps us make the guides better.
