Creating a Job Posting

Follow the steps below as many times as you need to create new job postings and fill your positions:

5. (optional) Add custom screening questions under Application Questions. You can customize answer options as text, yes/no, date, number, currency, or more options.
6. Enable email notifications if you'd like to be alerted when a candidate applies.
   • For each Role and availability, you'll need to set up an individual alert.
