How to Create a Job Posting
Setting up a well-structured job posting is the foundation of accurate AI screening. This guide walks through every field and setting.
Why a Good Job Description Matters
The AI uses your job description and required skills to score candidates. A vague or incomplete description produces unreliable match scores. A detailed one gives candidates a fair, accurate evaluation.
- Be specific about tools and technologies
- List responsibilities as separate bullet points
- Separate must-have from nice-to-have skills
Step 1: Navigate to Job Creation
From your recruiter dashboard, click the "New Job" button in the top-right corner.
Step 2: Fill In Basic Details
Fill in the required fields:
| Field | Tips | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | Job Title | Be specific — "Senior React Developer" not "Developer" | | Company | Auto-filled from your profile | | Location | Include remote/hybrid if applicable | | Employment Type | Full-time, Part-time, Contract, or Internship |
Step 3: Add Salary Range
Adding a salary range is optional but strongly recommended — jobs with salaries get more applicants.
Step 4: Write the Description
This is where the AI gets its context. Follow these rules:
Do: use clear section headers, list skills as bullets, write naturally.
Don't: copy generic templates, use buzzwords, or leave fields half-filled.
Step 5: Set Required Skills
Add keywords the AI should look for in candidate resumes:
Required: React, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS
Nice-to-have: GraphQL, Docker, CI/CD
The AI compares these against each resume and reports matched vs. missing.
Step 6: Choose Visibility
| Visibility | Who Can See It | | ---------- | ---------------------------------- | | Public | Visible on the Resumely jobs board | | Internal | Only your team members | | Private | Only you |
Step 7: Publish or Save Draft
Click "Save as Draft" to come back later, or "Publish" to make it live.
Once published, you can start uploading and screening resumes immediately.
Troubleshooting
Job Not Appearing on the Public Board
Make sure visibility is set to Public and your account email is verified.
Screening Results Are Inaccurate
Check that your description and required skills are specific. Generic job descriptions produce vague match scores.
Can I Edit After Publishing?
Yes — but re-screen candidates after major description changes, since old scores are based on the previous version.
