Create a Job Using the Job Profiler

Updated by Amy Thomas

Once you have prepared all the components you will use in your job, you are now ready to create the job.

There are three evaluation tools you can select to include in your job: assessments, video interview and real time interview. You may choose to include one, two, or all three of these for your job.

If you are not sure what assessments or interview questions to use for the job you are hiring for, our Job Profiler tool can recommend these for you.

When you create a new job, Job Profiler automatically searches our extensive database to suggest a set of assessments that you can use to assess your candidates' suitability for the job. The suggestions are based on the job title you selected and are built to provide valuable insights into the standard requirements for the job.

See it in action!

View a quick guide to how the job profiler can make building your assessment suite easier.

Create the job

  1. On the Jobs page, click Create Job to begin the job creation process.
  2. In the Job Name field, type a job title. As you type, Criteria will suggest matching job titles. Select the evaluation methods you want to include, then click Continue:
    • Assessments: Evaluate candidates with scientifically validated assessments.
    • Video Interview: Save time with AI-powered video interviews.
    • Real-Time Interview: Conduct live interviews with structured questions.
If you have created your structured interview templates and only want some help choosing the assessments, just tick Assessments here. Once you have created your job, you can add the structured interview/s in the Candidate Journey Builder (job settings).
  1. On the Job Profiler (occupation selection) screen, review the recommended occupation based on your job title. Click Select to confirm and proceed to assessment recommendations.

Assessment recommendations

  1. Criteria displays recommended assessments for the role. Where relevant, it will also provide alternative assessments. Click Learn More on any assessment to view further details.
  2. The Cognitive tab shows aptitude tests. Click Select on the recommended assessment if you want to include it in the test battery. If you prefer an alternative assessment, scroll down to the Alternatives section and click Select on your preferred option.
  3. After selecting an assessment, you can click Edit to configure the score range.
  4. Click Continue to move to the next assessment selection step. If you do not want to use a Cognitive assessment, click Skip Cognitive.

    1. Click Back to return to an assessment tab and change your selection.
  6. Some assessments, such as Illustrait and Workplace Alignment Assessment require additional settings to be selected. These can be set once the assessment is selected.

  13. To remove an assessment from the job, click the Remove button on the assessment card.
