Job Posting Templates Overview

Using Job Posting Templates in Discovered

This guide will walk you through how to create, manage, and apply Job Posting Templates in Discovered. Job Posting Templates allow you to save time and ensure consistency by reusing pre-configured job posting formats rather than starting from scratch each time you create a job.

Overview

Job Posting Templates serve as reusable blueprints for job postings in Discovered. Whether you have standard roles you hire for regularly or occasional specialized roles, templates allow you to:

• Save common job details for repeated use.
• Avoid re-entering the same information multiple times.
• Maintain consistency across your job postings.
• Leverage templates for evaluation tools, workflows, and more.

How to Access Job Posting Templates

1. From your Dashboard, hover over the Templates menu in the top navigation bar.
2. In the side bar, select Job Postings.

This will open the Job Posting Templates page where you can view, create, or manage your templates.

Creating a Job Posting Template

Follow these steps to create a new Job Posting Template:

Step 1 – Click “Create Job Template”

• Click the Create Job Template button on the Job Posting Templates page.

Step 2 – Enter Template Details

• Name your template.
  Example: Sales Manager Template.
• Optionally, add a Description explaining the template’s purpose.
  Example: Template for all sales manager roles across regions.

Click Submit when finished.

Configuring Job Details

Once your template is created, you’ll see the job posting form. Configuring a template is nearly identical to creating a regular job posting, with one key difference:

• No fields are required in a template.
  You can leave all fields blank if you want to fill them out later when creating an actual job posting.

Tip: Many users choose to leave the Job Title blank so the template can be used for different roles.

If desired, you can:

• Fill in job details (e.g. Job Title, Job Type).
• Use Kingsley to help generate job ads.

Click Save and Continue to move through each step of the job setup.

Using Templates for Evaluation Tools

As you progress through the template setup, you can pre-configure evaluation tools:

Reference Checks, Interview Guides, Scorecards, Assessments, and Application Forms:

• Use existing templates or create new ones.
• Each can be configured in advance, or left blank to customize later when creating a job.
• This saves time and ensures consistency for how candidates are evaluated.

Configuring Workflows and Pipelines

In the Processing step of the template:

• You can assign a workflow pipeline to the template.
• Choose from:
  • Use Default Pipeline: Pulls in your pipeline from the default job posting template.
  • Copy from Another Template: Reuse pipelines from other job posting templates.
  • Copy from Another Job Post: Copy a pipeline from an existing job post.
  • Create from Scratch: Build a new pipeline specific to this template.

Example: If you often use the same pipeline for sales roles, link it to the Sales Manager Template to avoid re-creating it each time.

Managing Job Posting Templates

From the Job Posting Templates page, you can:

• Edit Templates: Click on a template’s name to make changes.
• Delete Templates:
  • Click the Delete button next to the template.
  • A confirmation pop-up will appear to prevent accidental deletions.
• Duplicate Templates:
  • Click the Duplicate option.
  • Enter a new name and description.
  • Make any necessary changes and save.

This is useful when you want a similar template with minor adjustments.
