How to Create a New Job

There are three main ways to start creating a job in Firefish:

1. From the Jobs Tab
   Navigate to Jobs > New Job from the main menu. This will open a blank job record, ready for you to input all the details.
2. From a Contact’s Record
   If you're already viewing a contact's profile, click Tasks > New Job. This automatically fills in the company and contact details, saving you time.
3. Create a Similar Job
   Have a similar job you've worked on before? Open the previous job record, click More Actions > Create Similar, and Firefish will copy the job details for you. Simply update the company, contact, or any other fields following the steps below.

Job Summary

The Job Summary section is where you'll define the key details of the role.

• Assign the Job Owner
  By default, the job owner is the logged-in user. Need to assign it to a colleague? Just click Edit and select their name from the drop-down list. 
  
  You can select one Primary owner and up to two Secondary owners. Secondary owners will have visibility of the job in their To Do lists and Quick Links.
   
• Select the Workflow
  Choose the appropriate workflow for the role—Permanent or Contract. In some setups, these workflows may be renamed (e.g., Temp or Locum). Depending on your system's Candidate Settings, you might only see one workflow option.

• Enter a Job Title
  Add a clear and descriptive job title that captures the role’s essence.

Filling in Company and Contact Details

If you started from the contact record, the Company and Contact fields will auto-populate.

• To update these fields, click the Edit buttons. You’ll then have the option to:
  • Select another contact from the assigned company.
  • Tick Include Associated Companies to choose contacts from related organisations.

If you started from Jobs > New Job, Firefish will suggest matching companies as you type. Simply choose the relevant company and contact from the drop-down list.

Specify Job Details

• Number of Positions
  Input how many roles are available for this job—Firefish allows up to 100 positions per job.
• Keywords, Discipline and Location
  Add keywords to improve candidate matching and select the discipline and location associated with the role.
• Salary or Pay Rates
  Specify the salary or pay rate to attract suitable candidates.
