Using a job description

Most roles already have a job description. Rather than retyping it, give it to Tenure when you add the role, or on the Start a run panel once the role is chosen.

Paste or upload

When you add or edit a role, choose Upload a file or Paste the text at the top of the form. Files can be PDF, Word (.docx), or plain text, up to 5 MB. Drop the file on the box or click to choose it. For pasted text, paste the whole posting and click Read the description.

What Tenure fills in

Tenure reads the description and fills any field you have not typed yet: the role title, profession, specialty, location, pay, schedule, and what makes it worth a reply. Fields you already filled are left as you wrote them, and a note tells you which ones were filled. Check them; they are yours to change.

What the description is used for

The full text stays with the role, shown as a chip with where it came from and its word count, and goes with every run for that role.

• The database search reads every requirement in it, not just the summary.
• Generate with AI writes the message from the description and the role together, so pay, bonuses, and start dates in the posting make it into the message.
• Tenure's sourcing technology reads it when working your job boards.

It is never sent in the email.

Updating the description

When the posting changes, choose Update on the chip and drop in the new file, or paste the text and choose Update. Tenure reads it over every field it names, including ones you had filled, so the role says what the new posting says. On the role form the note under the chip lists what changed; check it, then save. Cancel backs out without reading anything.

The same chip sits under the role on the Start a run panel. Updating it there saves the role at once, and the run takes the new description, pay and schedule with it.

Files Tenure cannot read

An older Word file (.doc) or a scanned PDF with no text layer cannot be read. Save it as .docx or PDF from the original, or paste the text instead.
