Create a New Position
You can create a new position from either the Home page or the Assessments page by clicking Create new position.
When creating a job, you’ll need to define:
Position title – What role are you hiring for?
Position owner and hiring team – Who in your organization should have access to this position?
Once created, your position opens using your organization’s default settings and displays the Assessment Profile tab.
💡Note: If you don’t see the option to create a position, you may not have the required permissions. Reach out to an admin in your organization to get access or have them create the position for you.
