# Create a job
We're currently rolling out improvements to the job creation setup. As the update is being introduced gradually, your experience may differ from what's described in this article.
To learn more about the new job creation flow, see [this article](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/17280690-introducing-our-new-job-creation-flow). If you have any questions or need help, please [contact our Support team](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/9564553-help-and-resources-from-our-support-team).
To start a new recruitment in Teamtailor, you'll first need to create a job. The job acts as the foundation of your recruitment, where you'll build your recruitment process, create your job ad, manage applicants, and collaborate with your hiring team.
# Create a job
To get started, head over to the **Jobs** tab and click the pink **+** button. You will now be asked to fill out the general information tied to the recruitment process. This can be edited later on if needed.
If you want to reuse a job and its content for a new one, we’ve got you covered.
Hover over the job you want to copy in the **Jobs** list and click the *Duplicate* icon. Your new job will be pre-filled with information from the original, ready for you to edit. Once created, the information from the job ad and hiring process will also be included.
## Job details
The first section focuses on some core details tied to the job.
| **Field** | **Description** |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Title and symbol | Add a name for the job. Next to the title, you can also add a job symbol for further internal customization. |
| Department / Role | Assign the job to the related **Department** and **Role** to help clarify the position.
This will also make it easier for candidates to find and identify with the position. By configuring these settings, Connected candidates can create more relevant profiles, helping you maintain a higher-quality candidate bank. |
| Locations | Let the candidates know where the position is located by adding the **Location/s** of the job. |
| Template | Select a template that will be used as the base for your job. Learn more about job templates [here](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/864900-work-with-job-templates)
**Note:** Selecting a template will only pre-fill fields that are not already filled out manually. |
| Tags | Tags can be added to your jobs to help you categorize them internally. This makes it easier to quickly find or group together similar roles. |
## Hiring plan details
Next, it's time to define your hiring plan. This plan is displayed in the [Hiring plan](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/15733229) view, giving you and your team a shared overview of which roles need to be filled, helping you align on recruitment goals, and track progress throughout the hiring process.
| **Field** | **Description** |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Recruiter | The creator of the job will automatically be added as the main recruiter in this field.
If you have Company Admin or Recruitment Admin role access, you will have the additional option to select a different recruiter for the role. |
| Open positions | Once the number of hired candidates reaches the set value, the job status changes to *Completed*.
After that, no additional candidates can be moved to the Hired stage unless the number of open positions is updated in the job. |
| Recruitment period | The dates selected in these fields will be displayed in the [Hiring plan](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/15733229) to track hiring progress. |
## Additional details
Finally, you can select additional information using standard and [custom job fields](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/3468522-custom-fields) to provide more context and categorize the position. Later, when you create the job ad, these fields can also be included externally, giving candidates additional information about the role.
## Approval flow
If your company is using our add-on feature **Job approvals**, you will see the approval flow applied to the job here. You can read more about this [here](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/15341393).
# Next step
Once the job has been created, you'll be presented with four options:
| **Job ad** | [Configure the job ad](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/15341325-configure-a-job-ad) and application form to build the candidate experience for your recruitment. |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hiring process** | [Set up the recruitment process](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/15341358-set-up-the-recruitment-process) to define how candidates should move through the hiring process. |
| **Hiring team** | [Define the hiring team](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/15341358-set-up-the-recruitment-process#h_fffa8cdb4e) responsible for managing the recruitment process and collaborating on the job. |
| **Add candidates** | Start [sourcing candidates](https://support.teamtailor.com/en/articles/118259-add-candidates-to-your-account) for the job or add them from your existing candidate bank. |
*Tick **Remember my choice** at the bottom to save your preferred second step when creating jobs. One extra click saved!*
You can revisit the recruitment overview at any time by clicking the job status next to the job title to make sure everything is set up.
