# Using a job description

> Paste or upload a job description and Tenure reads the role, the location, and the facts that sell it into the run.

Most roles already have a job description. Rather than retyping it, give it to Tenure.

## Paste or upload

Under the role details, choose **Upload a file** or **Paste the text**. 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, locations, and a short summary of the facts a clinician would reply to (pay, schedule, call, setting, requirements). 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 attached to the run, shown as a chip with the file name and word count.

- **The database search** reads every requirement in it, not just the summary.
- **Generate with AI** writes the message from the description and your details 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.

Remove the chip to detach it before you start.

## 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.
