# Creating jobs

> Open a vacancy, set its commercial terms, and link the client and owners.

_Collection: Jobs & Pipeline (jobs-pipeline) — Kepler Help Center. Canonical: https://keplercrm.com/support/articles/creating-jobs/_

A job is a vacancy you're working for a client. It carries the brief, the commercial terms, the pipeline of candidates, interviews, advertising channels and inbound applicants.

## Creating a job

  - Open **Jobs** in the sidebar and click **Add job** — or create from the company page's Jobs tab to pre-link the client.

  - Choose **Upload brief** or **Paste text** to have AI fill in the form from the client's brief for you to review, or **Enter manually** for a blank form.

  - Give it a **Job title** and link the **Client company**.

  - Fill in the brief and details (all editable later on the job's **Details** tab).

## Key job fields

| Field | Notes |
| --- | --- |
| Status | Where the job stands — e.g. Open, On hold, Filled. Closing a job asks for a Closed reason so your reporting shows why business was won or lost. |
| Owner / account manager | Who runs the role and who owns the client relationship. Owners receive notifications for inbound applicants and AI suggestions on the job. |
| Priority | Configurable priority levels to triage your job list. |
| Employment type | Full-time, Part-time, Contract or Internship. |
| Fee type & terms | How you bill — percentage, fixed, hourly margin or retained — feeding placement reporting. Everyone who can open the job sees its fee terms; the fees recorded on its placements are limited to people with finance access (see Fees, aftercare & billing ). |
| Exclusivity | Whether you hold the role exclusively — useful for prioritisation and reports. |
| Description | The internal brief. The advertised copy can differ — see Publishing jobs . |

## The job page

Tabs on a job are **Pipeline** (the candidate board and table), **Details**, **Interviews**, **Matching** (AI shortlist), **Advertising**, **Client portal** (when your workspace has it), **Lists**, **Tasks**, **Notes**, **Calls**, **Files** and **History** (the timeline). While applicants are waiting for a decision, the Pipeline board shows them in a **New applicants** lane, and the table view shows a line linking to the [Review page](/support/articles/review-inbound-applicants/). For every job at once, use the **Applicants** button on the **Jobs** page, shown while anyone is waiting. The header shows the job's status, client, core details, opened date, the number of candidates in the pipeline and the number placed.

Click **Details** at the end of the tab row to open the record panel over the page. It holds the job's identity fields — **Client company**, **Status**, **Owner**, **Account manager** and **Hiring contact** — each editable in place.

## After creating

  - Add candidates to the [pipeline](/support/articles/pipeline-stages/) from your database, or let [AI matching](/support/articles/ai-candidate-matching/) build a ranked shortlist from your existing candidates.

  - Advertise it — publish to your [job portal](/support/articles/publishing-jobs/) or [connect a LinkedIn job](/support/articles/linkedin-applications/).

> **TIP:** Fill in salary, location and key skills on the job — AI matching and the inbound applicant scoring both read these to rank candidates accurately.
