Set Job Type

Overview

Job type is a required label that tells Discovered what kind of role you’re hiring for (e.g., Accountant & Finance). Titles can be anything (even internal jargon), so the job type provides a clear category the platform can use to load recommended assessments and pre-built interview guides for that role.
You can search the job type list and pick the closest match. The list is updated over time.

How to Set Job Type:

1. Start a new job

• From your dashboard, click Create Job Post.

2. Enter the job title

• Example: Accountant.

3. Select the job type

• Use the dropdown or start typing to search for the best match (e.g., Accountant & Finance).
• Select the option that most accurately reflects the role.

4. Complete job details

• Fill in description, requirements, compensation, etc., then continue.

5. Review recommendations

• Go to Find & Evaluate Talent.

• In the Assessments tab under Evaluate candidates, you'll see recommended assessments.

• In the Interview guides tab under Evaluate candidates, you'll see a pre-built interview guide based on the job type.

• Keep, remove, or edit anything—these are starting points you can fully customize.

Why This Matters

• Faster setup: Skip guesswork—get relevant assessments and interview questions immediately.
• Better consistency: Teams evaluate candidates against the same criteria for a role.
• Higher quality screening: Recommendations are tailored to the role category you chose.

Use Cases

• Your job title uses internal naming—job type standardizes it (e.g., “Finance Ninja” → Accountant & Finance).
• You’re setting up a role you don’t recruit for often and want strong defaults.
• You’re rolling out a consistent process across multiple hiring managers.

How It Works

When you pick a job type, Discovered categorizes the posting and preloads role-appropriate assessments and interview guides in Find & Evaluate Talent. You’re always in control: remove, add, or modify any item.

Best Practices

• Pick the closest match: Use the search bar to quickly find the right category.
• Keep it accurate: If the role scope changes, update the job type so recommendations stay relevant.
• Customize the defaults: Treat recommendations as a starting point—adjust to your exact needs.
• Review before publishing: Ensure the job type aligns with the description and requirements.

What Happens Next

After you save:

• Find & Evaluate Talent will show recommended assessments and a pre-built interview guide for the selected job type.
• You can immediately use or customize those tools as you invite and evaluate candidates.
