The Positions tab

 

This article describes the functions of the Positions tab, which can be accessed by clicking on Recruiting in the main menu.

This page provides a structured overview of your open positions and application processes.

The Recruiting section includes the tabs Positions, Applications, Unassigned messages and Channels. Depending on how employees' access rights and recruiting roles have been configured, they may only be able to view certain parts of these sections.

 

Basic functions for managing positions

You can create a new position or add another opening to an existing position by clicking on Create Position. If you intend to fill a position several times, create several openings with different start dates. Learn more about how to create new positions.

You can publish or unpublish a position on your Personio career page by accessing the position details. To do so, click on the title of the respective position. 

Note
When you click on Unpublish within the position details, the promotion of the position on external job portals is not disabled. If you want to do this, use this contact form to get in touch with our posting partner.

 

Job filters (1)

You can use the filter option at the top of the page to limit the overview to the positions that are relevant to you.

Apply the My positions filter to display the positions for which you are involved in the recruiting process. When you click on the Applications tab, this filter is applied automatically.

To display Archived positions, click on the first filter button and select the Archived positions option. You will not lose any data by archiving, and any filled openings can be retrieved again as needed. Click on Show > Archived positions to see an overview of your archived positions. Find further information on archiving positions.

You can also sort the sequence in which positions are shown alphabetically by category, department, office or job title.

The following number indicators are displayed:

  • The number of prioritized applications with pending to-dos
  • The number of applications that have been in a particular stage for too long.
  • The number of candidate messages that have not yet been replied to.
  • The number of evaluations you haven't read yet.
  • The number of comments on candidates you haven't read yet.
  • The number of messages currently in your Unassigned messages.

The numbers displayed take any job filters into account. For example, if you have set the My job positions filter, you will only see the open to-dos for the positions you are responsible for.

Click on the different number indicators to be taken directly to the list of candidates. The applications for which an action is required will be marked with a blue dot. Once the action is done (for example, once you reply to the candidate's message), the application will no longer appear in the overview.
