# Recruitment & Onboarding: Upload a job description and get a draft opening to review.

You hire in bursts: three project officers for a new grant, a consultant next week, an expert for a proposal.

CVs arrive through inboxes and spreadsheets, and each candidate’s data still has to be deleted on time.

## How it works

Hiring in bursts, across countries.

1. Create the opening from a dropped job description; a launch checklist is ticked as you go; publishing puts it on your careers site.
2. Applications come in pre-read. The AI scores each one on eight criteria and writes a short summary.
3. Review one candidate at a time. CV, introduction video and AI summary side by side.
4. Welcome the new joiner. Add them to the team, and a journey of steps starts for the joiner, their manager, HR, IT and finance.

## What it does.

- **Openings from a job description**: Upload it, review the draft opening, then publish.
- **Careers site**: Embeddable in your website; candidates follow, update, withdraw or erase their data.
- **Candidate board**: From new to hired, with flags when someone waits too long.
- **AI review**: Each application read on 8 criteria, with a short summary.
- **Review mode**: CV, introduction video and AI summary side by side, one candidate at a time.
- **Considerate emails**: Acknowledgements automatic, rejections can wait a few days, AI drafts wait for a person.
- **Talent pool and roster**: Keep good candidates, search experts by sector, country, language and rate.
- **Branded CVs**: Your CV template in English, French and Spanish, in a few minutes.
- **Onboarding journeys**: Steps for the joiner, manager, HR, IT and finance, from before day 1 to month 1.

### The full list

- **Candidate board**: New → Screening → Interview → Assessment → Offer → Hired; flags when someone waits too long at a stage.
- **Careers site**: Embeddable in your own website; candidates get a private page to follow, update, withdraw or erase their data.
- **Emails**: Acknowledgements go out on receipt, the rest are sent by a person; rejections can wait a few days; AI-written emails wait for a person’s release.
- **Interview scheduling**: From the calendar, with booking pages.
- **Talent pool**: Keep the good ones, with a note on why; match the pool to a new opening or a proposal.
- **Expert roster**: CVs (and profiles) turned into searchable profiles by sector, technology, country, language and rate band.
- **Branded CVs**: The organisation’s CV template, in English, French and Spanish, in a few minutes; CVs are updated when the person joins a project.
- **Onboarding**: Journeys grouped before day 1, day 1, week 1, month 1; each step owned; your steps on your Home.
- **Retention on schedule**: A longer period with talent-pool consent, a shorter one without; the data is then deleted.
- **Email signatures and team photos**: Made for each new joiner.

## What makes the difference

- Each application arrives with an AI summary and score; a recruiter decides.
- Rejections can wait a few days, so nobody is turned down an hour after applying.
- CVs in your template, in English, French and Spanish.

## With your AI agent

One question can cross several modules.

Replies to candidates are drafted and wait for a recruiter to release them.

- **A question**: “An application arrives, the AI reads it on 8 criteria, the recruiter reviews it, the reply waits for release; on hire, the person joins HR, a project and onboarding.”
- **Reads**: Recruitment & Onboarding, [HR & Payroll](https://reliefapplications.org/relief-one/hr/), [Projects & Time](https://reliefapplications.org/relief-one/projects/), [Workspace: Home, Drive, Calendar & Office](https://reliefapplications.org/relief-one/workspace/)
- **Comes back**: A reading on 8 criteria, and a reply drafted (To validate)
- **On this module’s pages**: Each application read on 8 criteria, with a summary

## Before you book a demo.

### How long do you keep a rejected candidate’s data?

It depends on consent. Candidates who agree to join the talent pool are kept for a longer period, the others for a shorter one, and deletion runs on schedule. Candidates can also erase their data from their own private page.

### Can candidates book their own interview slot?

Yes. Interviews are scheduled from your calendar, with booking pages where the candidate picks a time.

### Can we start with Recruitment & Onboarding alone?

Yes. Each organisation starts with the base, then picks its modules. You can start with one and add others later.

### Can we switch a module off later?

You can, and its data is kept. A module switched off disappears from menus and search, and switching it back on restores it.

### Can you import from our spreadsheets and current tools?

Yes: people, projects, budgets, policies, files (including a one-time import or a live two-way sync with Google Drive), and the content of your existing workbooks. Connectors to your other systems are built as part of the project.
