   • Location: e.g., "Remote", "San Francisco, CA", "London, UK"
   • Description (required): Full job description with responsibilities
   • Requirements: Key skills, experience, and qualifications needed
4. Click Save

The AI will automatically generate interview questions based on your job description.

AI Job Parsing

2. Click Parse Job Description or Upload
3. Choose your input method:
   • Upload PDF: Select a job description PDF file

Interview Questions

After creating a job, you can generate interview questions using AI. ROUND0 uses your job description and interview goals to create relevant, targeted questions.

Interview Goals

Before generating questions, you can specify what you want to evaluate in the interview. Interview goals help the AI generate more relevant questions.

Available Goal Categories:

Setting Goal Priorities:

For each goal, you can set a priority level:

• High: Essential for the role - AI will prioritize questions for these areas
• Medium: Important but not critical
• Low: Nice to have

Custom Goals:

In addition to predefined categories, you can add custom assessment goals specific to your needs. For example:

• "Experience with our specific tech stack (Go, Kubernetes, AWS)"
• "Understanding of HIPAA compliance"
• "Knowledge of agile methodologies"

Additional Context:

You can also provide free-form context to guide question generation, such as:

• Specific projects the candidate will work on
• Team dynamics or challenges
• Company-specific scenarios

Generating Questions

To generate questions for a job:

1. Navigate to Jobs
2. Click on a job to view details
3. Click Generate with AI in the Interview Questions section
4. Configure Interview Goals:
   • Select the areas you want to assess
   • Set priority levels (High/Medium/Low) for each goal
   • Add any custom goals or additional context
5. Click Generate Questions
6. Review the generated questions
7. Click Save All Questions to add them to the job

Question Types

Questions are generated across five categories:

1. Behavioral Questions
   • Understanding how candidates handle real-world situations
   • Example: "Tell me about a time when you had to handle a difficult team conflict"
2. Technical Questions
   • Exploring domain-specific knowledge and skills
   • Example: "Explain your approach to optimizing database queries"
3. Situational Questions
   • Examining problem-solving and decision-making
   • Example: "If you discovered a critical bug right before deployment, what would you do?"
4. Experience Questions
   • Discovering relevant past work experience
   • Example: "Describe a project where you implemented a microservices architecture"
5. Role-Specific Questions
   • Addressing unique aspects of the position
   • Example: "How would you approach building a design system for our product?"

Best Practices

Writing Effective Job Descriptions

To get the best AI-generated questions:

1. Be specific about requirements
   • List concrete skills and technologies
   • Specify experience levels (junior, mid, senior)
   • Include both must-haves and nice-to-haves
2. Include real responsibilities
   • Describe day-to-day tasks
   • Mention key projects or initiatives
   • Explain team structure and collaboration
3. Add context about the role
   • Company stage and size
   • Product or service details
   • Team culture and values
4. Use clear formatting
   • Separate sections with headers
   • Use bullet points for lists
   • Keep language professional but accessible

Organizing Jobs

1. Use consistent naming
   • Include seniority level: "Senior", "Mid-level", "Junior"
   • Specify team if relevant: "Backend Engineer - Payments Team"
2. Leverage departments
   • Use department field consistently
   • Makes filtering easier as you scale
3. Set meaningful locations
   • Be specific: "Remote (US timezones)" vs just "Remote"
   • Include office location for hybrid roles
4. Archive old jobs
   • Keep your active jobs list clean
   • Archive when position is filled or cancelled

Question Quality

1. Review generated questions
   • Check that questions align with your needs
   • Remove any that don't make sense for the role
2. Test with a trial interview
   • Use your free trial credit to test the interview flow
   • Adjust job description if questions miss the mark
3. Iterate based on results
   • Review candidate responses
   • Update job descriptions to improve question relevance

Use Cases

Standard Job Posting

Scenario: You have a job posted on your careers page

Workflow:

1. Copy the job description
2. Use AI parsing to extract details
3. Review and save
4. Start creating interviews

Internal Job Template

Scenario: You have recurring roles (e.g., sales reps)

Workflow:

1. Create a detailed job template
2. Save as Active
3. Reuse for all candidates applying for that role
4. Update periodically as role evolves

Custom Position

Scenario: Unique role that doesn't fit standard templates

Workflow:

1. Manually create job
2. Focus on specific requirements
3. Test interview questions
4. Customize questions per interview as needed

Multiple Locations

Scenario: Same role in different locations

Workflow: Option 1: Create separate jobs for each location

• Allows location-specific questions
• Better tracking per location

Option 2: Use one job with generic location

• Specify location when inviting candidate
• Less clutter in jobs list

Troubleshooting

AI Not Generating Good Questions

Problem: Generated questions don't match the role

Solutions:

1. Make job description more specific
2. Add concrete examples of responsibilities
3. Include must-have skills explicitly
4. Try manual creation instead of parsing

Too Many/Few Questions

Problem: AI generates wrong number of questions

Solution:

• This is normal - questions are meant to be customized per interview
• Exclude unnecessary questions when creating interviews
• Add custom questions if needed

Can't Find a Job

Problem: Job doesn't appear in list

Check:

1. Status filter - is it set to "Active" but job is "Draft"?
2. Search query - is search term correct?
3. Archived - check if job was accidentally archived

Job Used in Interviews Can't Be Deleted

Problem: Delete button disabled or error shown

Solution:

• This is expected if interviews exist for this job
• Archive the job instead
• Or, if you must delete, first delete all related interviews (not recommended)

API Access

If you have the Connectivity Package subscription, you can create jobs via API:

POST /api/v1/jobs
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "title": "Senior Frontend Developer",
  "department": "Engineering",
  "location": "Remote",
  "description": "We are looking for...",
  "requirements": "5+ years experience with React..."
}

See the API Documentation for full details.
