# Create a Job from a Template

Quickly launch structured, consistent job postings using pre-built templates in Discovered.

### **Overview**

Creating a **Job from a Template** allows you to reuse pre-configured job posting settings—such as workflows, pipelines, evaluation tools, and job details—without starting from scratch. While your **default template** loads automatically whenever you create a job, you can also choose from any other saved template to better suit specific departments, positions, or hiring needs.

Using a template ensures:

-   Consistent setup across multiple job types.
-   Time savings through reusable configurations.
-   Standardized evaluation criteria and workflows.

## **How to Create a Job from a Template:**

### **1\. Start Creating a Job Post**

From your **Dashboard**, locate the **Create Job Post** button.

-   Clicking this button directly will use your **default template** automatically.
-   To use a different template, click the small **downward arrow** next to the button instead.

### **3\. Choose a Template**

Browse through your templates and click **Select** next to the one you’d like to use.  
For example:

-   “Sales Manager Template” for sales department roles.
-   “Technical Template” for engineering positions.

Then click **Submit** to confirm.

### **4\. Edit and Finalize the Job Post**

Once you’ve selected a template, Discovered creates a new job post using that configuration.  
You’ll be taken to the standard job posting form, where you can:

-   Review pre-filled details from the template.
-   Update or modify fields in the **Job Details**, **Find & Evaluate Talent**, and **Processing** tabs.

All data saved in the chosen template will automatically populate here.

## **Why This Matters**

Creating jobs from templates streamlines your hiring workflow by eliminating repetitive setup. Instead of rebuilding similar jobs each time, you can instantly load all configurations from a tested template. This ensures:

-   Consistency across job posts.
-   Fewer errors or missing configurations.
-   Faster setup for repeat or department-specific roles.
-   Standardized evaluation criteria for all candidates.

## **Use Cases**

-   **Recruiters:** Quickly create postings for recurring roles across multiple departments.
-   **Hiring Managers:** Maintain consistency in hiring workflows and evaluation methods.
-   **Agencies:** Reuse templates for similar client roles while allowing customization.
-   **Small Teams:** Save time with ready-to-use configurations for frequent hires.

## **Best Practices**

-   Create **department-specific templates** (e.g., Sales, Technical, Customer Support).
-   Regularly update templates to reflect new workflows or evaluation tools.
-   Keep template names descriptive so users can easily identify them.
-   Use the **pipeline-only option** to apply proven processes to new job posts.

## **What Happens Next**

After you create a job from a template:

-   The new job appears in your **Dashboard** and inherits all preconfigured data.
-   You can edit or add new details before publishing.
-   Evaluation tools and workflows linked to the template are instantly active.

With **Create a Job from a Template**, you’ll launch structured, consistent job posts in seconds—keeping your hiring process fast, organized, and error-free.
