🧩 Key Job Fields & How They Work

Field	Description	Tips
🧱 Job Title	Team Engine checks your title against Indeed’s guidelines. Titles that don’t meet their standards can be rejected or see fewer applicants.	Keep titles short and specific (e.g., Maintenance Technician). You can still save without changing it, but it may lower applicant flow.
🏷️ Internal Job Identifier	Lets you label similar roles internally — for example, “Concrete General Laborer – Day Shift” vs. “Concrete General Laborer – Night Shift.”	Only visible in Team Engine (not on job boards). Searchable by title or identifier. Helps keep job lists organized.
👷 Role	Used to improve ad targeting and applicant matching based on similar jobs.	If there’s no perfect match, choose the closest role.
🌐 Application Language	Sets the applicant experience to English or Spanish.	Choose based on your applicant audience.
👤 Hiring Manager	Assigns who’s responsible for the job. They’ll automatically receive applicant notifications.	You can add more users later under account settings.
📍 Job Location	Used for distributing your job to local boards and assigning a local text/call number.	Always double-check the address for accurate targeting.
🏢 Office Location (Optional)	Helps calculate applicant commute and include directions in interview messages.	Add if it differs from the main job site.
💰 Compensation	Displays pay information to help filter and attract the right applicants.	Visible pay leads to more applications and better matches.
📝 Description	Enter your job details and use “Suggest Improvements” (AI) to optimize your description.	Use bullet points and clear role expectations.
✨ Summary & Tagline	Short, catchy lines that appear in social ads.	Edit to reflect your company’s tone.
📸 Job Image	Used in social media ads.	Use real photos of your team or work environment for best performance.
🕓 Experience	Add relevant experience measured in years.	Mark as Required to screen out unqualified applicants automatically.
🎓 Licenses & Certifications	Add yes/no items like CDL, OSHA, or Bachelor’s Degree.	Required ones automatically remove unqualified applicants from view.
🔍 Applicant Filters	Controls which candidates show up in your “Needs Review” list.	Helps prioritize best-fit applicants first.
📋 Pre-Hire Steps	Add tasks for candidates to complete before hiring (like forms or screenings).	Keeps hiring organized and consistent.

Job Title Validation

When you type or edit a Job Title, Team Engine validates it against Indeed’s guidelines.

Indeed has strict, sometimes unpredictable rules about job titles.
If your title doesn’t follow their rules, Indeed may refuse to publish your job — which can drastically reduce your applicant flow.
The validation message you see in Team Engine is a recommendation, not a blocker. You can save your title as is — but it's possible your reach or volume will suffer because of Indeed’s rules.

Internal Job Identifiers

We recently added internal job identifiers so you can internally distinguish between similar jobs (for example, two “Concrete General Laborer” roles: one for “Night Shift” and one for “Day Shift”).

This identifier is not visible to applicants or on external job boards.
It shows in the job list, job dropdown menus, and applicant cards, so your team can easily spot which variation of the job you mean.
You can search/filter by the internal identifier just as you would with the job title.

Notifications

Notifications in Team Engine keep you informed about new applicants, messages, and important hiring updates — so you never miss a step in your process.

Compensation

Team Engine uses compensation details to flag unrealistic pay expectations and, if visible, to attract more qualified applicants. We encourage you to make pay information visible to applicants. With all of the job choices that applicants have, they are more likely to invest their time and apply to a job if they know that the pay meets or exceeds their expectations.

Description

Once you have your job description entered into the job description field, you can use our "Suggest Improvements" feature to generate potential improvements to your description using AI.

Summary & Tagline

The summary and tagline are short, attention-grabbing lines for social media ads. Team Engine suggests them automatically, but you can edit them anytime.

Image

The job image is primarily used when generating Social Media ads if you choose to take advantage of that. Team Engine provides a default option based on the job role that you selected, but you can add your own image or use one from another job. The best job images often show people performing the job and frequently come from your company website.

Experience

Setting up relevant experience helps Team Engine filter unqualified applicants so you don't have to waste time reviewing people that are a bad fit. If you mark a specific experience as "Required", you will only see applicants to review if they meet this requirement. For any relevant experience that is not required, Team Engine will use these to score and sort applicants for you to review. Someone with more experience in a relevant area will score higher.

IMPORTANT: Relevant experience should be something where applicants can measure their level of experience in years and not a yes or no item - avoid things like "High School Diploma" here.

Relevant Licenses / Certifications

Licenses and Certifications are yes or no items. These might include things like:

CDL A
Passenger Endorsement
Bachelor's Degree
Arborist Certification

To add a license fill out the name of the license in the "New License" line and then click add. If you mark this license required, anyone who does not state that they have this will be auto-screened and will not show up in your "Needs Review" tab. When the applicant applies they will see a question asking them to select any of the following licenses they have and they can click a drop down and check any that apply.

Applicant Filters

You may manage which candidates appear on your to-do list by using Applicant Filters.

Pre-hire Steps

Before hiring a candidate, you may also include the tasks they must perform after their interview by adding your pre-hire steps:
