Managing career settings

Use Settings when the listing already exists and you need to change how the live role works. Settings does not change the title, pay, or offices. To change those, see Update an existing career.

Settings has six sections: Publish, Notifications, Candidate Emails, Interview Schedule, Review Assistant, and Review matrix.

Before you start

• You must be signed in.
• These plans include this feature: Hire, Hire + Retain, and Enterprise.
• These roles can change career settings: Owner, Administrator, Hiring Manager, and Office Administrator.
• If you are a Hiring Manager, you can change settings on a Career when you are the hiring manager for that Career.
• If you are an Office Administrator, you can change settings when the Career includes an office that you administer.

Open Settings

1. Open Hire, then open Careers.
2. Select the Career title.
3. Select Settings. Publish opens first.

Then select a section in the settings list.

• Publish — show the listing, accept applications, and copy the public URL.
• Notifications — alert your hiring team. This does not email candidates.
• Candidate Emails — emails that applicants receive for this role.
• Interview Schedule — hiring manager, shared booking options, and stages.
• Review Assistant — AI résumé review for this role.
• Review Matrix — criteria and weights that interviewers score.

Publish

Use Publish when you want the role on the public careers site, when you want to pause applications, or when you need the public URL.

The public careers site must be live. If it is not, publish the Careers Page.

1. Open Settings, then Publish.
2. Turn on Show on public careers site if the role must appear on the public site. Turn it off to hide the posting. Hidden postings also close applications.
3. Turn on Open for applications if candidates can apply. Turn it off to pause applications and keep the posting visible. This switch is off when the role is hidden.

Share the listing

1. In Share your career listing, select Copy link.
2. Select Open public posting to check the listing.

In Public posting URL, change URL slug if you want a different path. Select Save URL.

If Publish to LinkedIn is on the page, select it to share the posting on LinkedIn. The role must be shown on the public careers site. For more share steps, see Sharing careers.

Notifications

Use Notifications when your hiring team must get an alert about this role. These alerts go to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, or email. They do not change emails to candidates. For candidate emails, see Candidate Emails.

1. Open Settings, then Notifications.
2. Under Enable notifications, turn on Internal hiring notifications. Turn this off to stop all internal alerts for the role.
3. Turn on each channel that the team uses. Connect Slack, Microsoft Teams, or Google Chat if the organization is not connected yet.
4. For a chat channel, choose a destination, such as a channel or a direct message to the hiring manager.
5. For email, choose who receives the alert: the hiring manager, office managers, both, or nobody.

Candidate Emails

Use Candidate Emails when you decide which automatic emails applicants receive for this role. Empty subject and body fields use the organization template, or the built-in default when the organization has none.

These emails are not the same as Notifications.

1. Open Settings, then Candidate Emails.
2. Turn on each email that applicants must receive. Turn off an email that they must not receive.
3. Edit the subject and body if this role needs different copy. Insert a token if you want a name or other field from the application.
4. Select Preview if you want to read the message before you save.
5. Save the template.

Select Edit organization templates if the same copy must apply to other roles.

To send messages after a wait, or after a status change, use Automations.

Interview Schedule

Use Interview Schedule when you set who owns hiring, how candidates book time, and which interview rounds exist.

1. Open Settings, then Interview Schedule.
2. In Hiring manager, select the person who owns the role, or select No hiring manager. You can also set this from Update an existing career.
3. In Shared settings, turn on Auto-send scheduling links for interview stages if Plural must email the next booking link when a candidate moves to Interviewing, and again after each stage is complete.

To add, change, or remove interview stages, see Interview stages.

Review Assistant

Use Review Assistant when you want AI résumé review for this role. These plans include Review Assistant: Hire, Hire + Retain, and Enterprise. If your organization does not have it, the page asks you to upgrade.

1. Open Settings, then Review Assistant.
2. Read AI features acknowledgment.
3. The first time you turn it on, select the agreement checkbox.
4. Turn on Enable Review Assistant.
5. In Guidance for the review assistant, describe must-have skills, deal-breakers, and how your team evaluates candidates. Select Save guidance.

Turn Enable Review Assistant off if this role must not use AI résumé review.

Review Matrix

Use Review matrix when interviewers must score the same criteria after an interview. You can use the organization default, or set criteria for this role only.

1. Open Settings, then Review matrix.
2. Select Edit organization default matrix if you want to change the default that other roles inherit.
3. Turn on Use organization default if this role must use the organization criteria. Turn it off to set criteria for this role only.
4. When the role does not use the default, turn on Enabled, then add criteria. Set a title, weight, and score range for each item. Save.

If Use organization default is on, the page lists the organization criteria. Change those on the organization default, not on this role.
