Overview

This guide walks you through how to create a new job on Goodfit, automatically generate AI-based competencies and interview questions, and invite candidates to attempt their AI interview.

By the end of this setup, you’ll have a live job posting with a shareable link that lets you manage, screen, and assess candidates efficiently.

🧰 Before You Begin

Make sure you:

  • Are logged into your Goodfit Admin Dashboard

  • Have your Job Description (JD) ready

  • Have access to candidate resumes (for later upload)

Step 1: Go to the Jobs section

  • After logging into Goodfit, navigate to the “Jobs” section in the sidebar.

  • Click on “Create New Job Posting” (top-right corner).

Step 2: Add basic job details

  • Enter the Job Title (e.g., Java Engineer).

  • Select the Work Mode - choose between Remote, Hybrid, or On-site.

  • Optionally, specify the location (ex Chennai/Bengaluru).

Step 3: Add skills and tools

  • Goodfit will suggest AI-generated skills and tools based on the title.

  • You can edit or type in your own skills/tools as needed.

Step 4: Add the job description

  • Paste your comprehensive Job Description (JD) or generate one using the AI Description option.

  • Ensure it includes:

    • Role responsibilities

    • Experience requirements (e.g., Minimum 5 years hands-on experience)

    • Key skills and expectations

💡 Tip: A detailed JD helps the AI generate better competencies and interview questions later.

Step 5: Review Job Details

  • Click on “Review Job Details.”

  • Goodfit will automatically generate:

    • Competencies (e.g., Java Development Expertise, Debugging, Agile Methods)

    • Questions for the AI interview round.

Step 6: Customize competencies and questions

  • Adjust weightages for each competency (ensure they total 100%).

  • Click “+ Add Competency” to include more if required.

  • Add or edit AI interview questions under each competency.

  • You can revisit and edit these later, even after publishing the job.

🧩 Extra Questions: Below the AI questions, you’ll find Additional Questions - these aren’t scored but help recruiters gather useful context.

Step 7: Save and publish

  • Once done, click “Save Changes.”

  • The job will go live and generate a unique interview link.

  • Use this link to share with candidates or include it in your communication.

📤 Inviting Candidates to the AI Interview

Step 8: Upload candidate resumes

  • Click “View Candidates” for the newly created job.

  • In the Prospects section, click “Upload” and select one or more resumes.

  • Goodfit will automatically:

    • Parse each resume

    • Match it against the JD

    • Assign a Fit Score for every candidate

Step 9: Invite shortlisted candidates

  • Go to the Invitations tab.

  • Filter candidates by Fit Score.

  • Select the high-scoring candidates.

  • Click “Invite Selected Candidates.”

  • Invitations will be sent via Email and WhatsApp.

⚙️ To enable WhatsApp invites:
Go to Jobs → Settings and toggle “Enable WhatsApp Invitations.”

🎯 Reviewing Candidate Results

Once candidates complete the AI interview:

  • You’ll find their profiles under the “Good Fit” or “Profitable” sections.

  • Each profile includes:

    • Overall AI Score (e.g., 7.2 / 10)

    • Competency Breakdown

    • Video Recording of the interview

    • Full Transcript

Use these insights to move candidates into human interview stages or other internal rounds.

💡 Tips & Best Practices

  • Keep your JD detailed — it directly impacts AI competency accuracy.

  • Regularly monitor AI interview results and tweak questions if needed.

  • Use the Fit Score filter to quickly shortlist top candidates.

  • Always keep WhatsApp Invitations enabled for faster candidate engagement.
