Creating and posting a job
Who this is for: Recruiters posting roles for a production What you'll learn: How to create a job, what fields are required before you can submit, how the platform review works, what you can edit after publishing, and how to close a job
Overview
A job is a role you are looking to fill — an actor, a cinematographer, a costume designer, or any other position in your production. You can create a job inside a project (if you have one) or as a stand-alone post. Before applicants can see it, the platform reviews it to make sure it meets community standards. Once approved, it goes live and people can apply.
How to create a job
- From your Workspace, go to Jobs and select Create job, or open a project and go to Jobs within it.
- Enter a job title (required, up to 255 characters).
- Choose a job type — whether this is a single-reviewer role or one that needs multiple people to evaluate applicants.
- Optionally add a description — tell applicants about the role, the production, and what you are looking for.
- Tap Create job.
Your draft is saved automatically as you type, so you can leave and come back without losing your work.
Filling in the job details
After creating the job you land on the job page, where you can fill in all the remaining details by editing each section inline:
- Header — role title, role type (acting, technical, crew, and so on), and any special notes
- Eligibility criteria — age range, years of experience, gender preference, and languages required
- Compensation — whether the role is paid, the rate, and the billing arrangement
- Application details — the application deadline and the number of positions available
- Reference materials — documents or files you want applicants to download before applying
All sections can be edited individually by selecting the pencil icon next to each one.
What is required before you can submit for review
Before you can submit a job for platform review, a readiness check confirms the following are in place:
- A title
- A job type
- At least the basic eligibility or description information (check the submission readiness banner on your job page — it shows exactly what is still missing)
The job page shows a banner at the top listing any items that need to be completed. Complete those and the Submit for review button becomes available.
The review process
When you submit your job, the platform team reviews it to confirm it complies with community guidelines. This usually takes a short period. You do not need to do anything while the review is in progress — you will see a status update on your job page when it is complete.
If the review raises questions, the platform team may contact you or return the job to draft with notes. You can then make changes and resubmit.
Once approved, the job moves to Open status and becomes visible to talent on the platform. Applicants can then apply.
What you can and cannot change after publishing
After a job is published and accepting applications you can still edit:
- The description and special notes
- Eligibility criteria
- Compensation details
- Application deadline and vacancy count
- Reference materials
You cannot change the fundamental job type after the job has received applications, as that would affect how the application pipeline works.
Tips for a good job post
- Be specific about the role. Vague titles attract wrong-fit applicants. "Lead Actor — 30s male, Tamil film" is better than "Actor needed".
- Set an application deadline. Roles with deadlines tend to get more serious applicants.
- Upload reference materials. A brief or moodboard helps applicants understand exactly what you need.
- Fill in eligibility criteria. Age range and language requirements help the platform surface your role to the right talent.
- Keep the description focused. Two to three clear paragraphs about the production and the role is enough.
How to close a job
When you have filled your position and no longer want new applications:
- Open the job.
- Select Close job from the actions menu.
- Confirm the action.
Closing a job stops new applications. Existing applications stay in their current state and you can continue to work through the pipeline. You can reopen a closed job if needed.
Common questions
Can I create a job without a project? Yes. You can post a stand-alone job directly from the Jobs section in your Workspace. If you later want to organise it under a project, contact support.
How long does review take? The platform aims to review jobs within a short period. If your job is urgent, make sure all required fields are complete before submitting — incomplete submissions may take longer.
Can I have multiple jobs open at the same time? Yes, subject to the limits of your subscription. Check your billing section for the number of active jobs your plan allows.
What happens if my job is rejected in review? You will see the reason noted on your job page. Address the concern, make any needed changes, and resubmit.
Can applicants see that I edited the job after it was posted? Applicants see the current version of the job. There is no public edit history.
