How to Post a Job

In Hivemind, a job and its hiring pipeline are the same thing: you describe the role, choose the steps applicants go through, and activate it. From that moment the job is live on your careers page, has a shareable apply link, and every applicant flows into the pipeline automatically. This guide walks you through it end to end in about fifteen minutes.

1. Describe the job

1. Go to My Pipelines (View all under Inbound in the sidebar) and click New Pipeline.
2. Pick the Manual tab.
3. Fill in the job:
   • Job Title (required), and optionally a Seniority, which is added to the front of the title (Senior Backend Engineer).
   • Pipeline name (required): your internal name, e.g. Backend Hiring Q3.
   • Workplace Type, Location (a Region for Remote roles, otherwise City and Country), and Job Type.
4. Next to Description, click Draft with AI, add any notes you want reflected (team, must-have tools, salary range), and click Generate. Edit the draft in place until it reads the way you want.
5. Click Preview posting to see the job exactly as a candidate will read it.
6. Click Create Pipeline.

Prefer a guided setup? The Hive tab builds the job description, steps, and assessment from a short chat, and creates the pipeline already active. Details for both routes are in Creating a Pipeline.

2. Choose the hiring steps

You land in the pipeline editor with a Start card and the Application Form already in place. Drag steps from the palette on the left onto a Drag a step here slot, for example Resume Screening, then a Skills Assessment, a Candidate Review, and a Video Interview. Click each step to configure it, then click Save in the header.

To change what applicants fill in, click the Application Form step and edit its fields.

See the Pipeline Nodes Reference for every step and its settings.

3. Activate it

Click Activate in the pipeline header. Hivemind checks two things first:

• Every step is configured. If not, you'll see how many steps need attention, and they're marked in red on the canvas.
• The job details are complete: title, description, location, workplace type, and job type. If anything is missing you'll see Incomplete Pipeline and the Settings dialog opens so you can fill it in.

When it passes, you'll see Pipeline Activated: "Your pipeline is now live and accepting applications."

4. Where your job appears

Once active, the job shows up in three places:

• Your careers page. The Open Positions section of your company page lists every active pipeline. Each role has its own job page with About this role (your description), What to expect (the steps applicants will go through), an Apply now button, Remind me later, and Copy link to this job.
• The application page. Apply now leads to a form-first page: your logo, the job title and key facts, then the form, so candidates can apply from the first screen. A View job details link takes them back to the full job page.
• Anywhere you share the link. Copy the apply link with Application Link in the pipeline's Manage menu or the row actions on the My Pipelines table, the Application link row on the Start card, or the share icon next to the pipeline's name. Post it on job boards, social, or in an email. For Monster and Dice, see Post a Job on Monster and Dice.

See The Candidate Experience for what applicants see after they apply.

5. Post it to LinkedIn (optional)

With a LinkedIn account connected, Hivemind offers to share the job as soon as you activate it, and Share to LinkedIn stays in the pipeline's Manage menu for later. Applicants from LinkedIn click through to your Hivemind application form and land in the same pipeline. Setup and options are in LinkedIn Job Posting.

6. Watch applicants arrive

Open the pipeline's Manage menu and choose Applicants to see everyone who has applied, the step they're on, and their scores. Steps that need your decision, such as Candidate Review, show up in your Inbox. You can also add a referral or someone who emailed you directly with Add candidate, at whichever stage you choose.

Everything about working with applicants is in Managing Candidates in a Pipeline.
