How to Create a Role

Step-by-step guide

This article explains how to create a role in Interview Intelligence. Roles define what you are hiring for and are used to generate interview plans.

What is a role?

A role represents the position you are hiring for. It provides the context that the AI uses to generate interview stages, questions, and evaluation criteria.

Each role includes:

• a role title

• a role description

• required skills and competencies

You must create a role before generating an interview plan.

How to create Roles

1. Open Hire icon

   

2. In the left-hand navigation, select the “New role +” button.

   

Create a role

Follow these steps to create a new role.

Step 1: Enter the role title

• Add a clear, recognisable role title

• Use the same naming convention used internally (for example: Senior Software Engineer)

Step 2: Add the role description

Provide a short but clear description of the role. This should include:

• key responsibilities

• seniority level

• team or business context

The role description directly impacts the quality of the interview plan.

Step 3: Review required skills

Based on the role information, required skills and competencies are suggested automatically.

You can:

• review the suggested skills

• add or remove skills if needed

Step 4: Save the role

Once all information is complete:

1. Select Save role

2. Confirm the role is created

The role is now available to use when generating an interview plan.

What happens next

After creating a role, you can:

• generate an interview plan

• reuse the role for future interviews

• update the role if requirements change

Roles help ensure interview plans are consistent and aligned to hiring needs.

Tips for best results

• Use clear, specific role descriptions

• Avoid overly generic responsibilities

• Keep skills aligned to what will be assessed in interviews

This helps the AI generate more relevant interview questions and criteria.
