Creating a job

Before you can send assessments or begin reviewing candidates, you first need to create a job.

A job represents a real open position you want to fill. Each job consists of a job title and corresponding Job Target. Your Job Target represents the ideal mix of behavioral traits and cognitive ability a candidate needs to succeed in their role.

How to create a job

1. Log in to the PI software.
2. Select Hire from the top navigation bar.

3. From the Hiring Center, select the “Create New Job” button.

4. Enter a job title.
5. (Optional) Select a folder for this job.
6. Click “Continue.”

7. You’ll be prompted to set your job’s Behavioral Target. To do so, select one of the following options:

• Create a custom target: Create your own. Manually create the job’s Behavioral Target by selecting the behavioral characteristics your ideal candidate should have. (Recommended when you’re most familiar with the needs of the role.)

• Create a custom target: Create a collaborative target. Manually create a Behavioral Target with input from multiple stakeholders. (Recommended when other stakeholders at your organization are more familiar with the needs of the role.)

Note: You can also include yourself as a contributor when creating a collaborative target.

• Choose a PI benchmark. Select from a list of real-world benchmarks, and PI Hire will apply the most common Behavioral Target for that role.

• Model after a top performer. Use an existing employee’s PI Behavioral Assessment results to set the Behavioral Target for the role.

Note: If the top performer hasn’t taken the Behavioral Assessment before, you’ll have the opportunity to send them the assessment by entering their name and email.

8. Your job will be created. Access it at any time from the Hiring Center.

FAQs

I’m not sure what Job Target I’d like to build. Can I revisit it later, so I can first send out some assessments?

Yes, you have the option to skip the Job Target process. To do so:

1. Click the “Skip for now” text in the bottom-left of the screen.



2. Confirm by clicking “Skip for now.”



3. You will be prompted to send assessments to candidates. (You can revisit the Job Target process at any time by clicking the “Job Target” tab.)



Please note: Although you can send assessments without a Job Target, you must create a target to access full candidate insights, including cognitive results and job fit.

You also must set a target to leverage features such as the Interview Builder.
