Quick Answer

Paste a job posting URL or upload a file. Our AI extracts key details automatically. Review, add screening questions, and submit for approval.

Three ways to create a job

daily.dev Recruiter makes job creation fast with AI-powered parsing. Choose your preferred method:

If your job is already posted somewhere (your careers page, a job board, LinkedIn), simply:

  1. Click Add New Job from your dashboard
  2. Paste the URL of your job posting
  3. Our AI extracts all relevant details
  4. Review and edit as needed

This is the fastest way to get started. Most jobs are ready to review in under 30 seconds.

Option 2: Upload a file

If you have a job description document:

  1. Click Add New Job
  2. Upload your PDF or document file
  3. AI parses the content and extracts details
  4. Review and edit the extracted information

Supported formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT

Option 3: Start from scratch

If you prefer to write everything manually:

  1. Click Add New Job
  2. Select "Create manually"
  3. Fill in each field step by step
  4. Preview before submitting

What gets extracted

Our AI automatically identifies and extracts:

  • Job title and level: Senior Backend Engineer, Staff Designer, etc.
  • Tech stack: Languages, frameworks, tools mentioned
  • Location: Office location, remote policy, timezone requirements
  • Compensation: Salary range if mentioned
  • Requirements: Experience level, must-have skills
  • Description: Role responsibilities and context

Review your job

After AI parsing, you will see a side-by-side editor:

  • Left side: Edit form with all extracted fields
  • Right side: Live preview of how developers will see it

Review each section and make any corrections. The AI is usually accurate, but always verify:

  • Is the title correct?
  • Are the technologies accurate?
  • Is the compensation range right?
  • Is the location/remote policy clear?

Required fields

Before you can submit, you must complete:

  • Job title
  • Tech stack / skills
  • Location or remote policy
  • Compensation range
  • Job description

A completeness bar at the top shows your progress.

Add screening questions

After editing job details, add up to 3 screening questions:

  • Use AI to generate questions based on your job
  • Or write your own custom questions
  • Focus on must-haves that are not obvious from the description

See Add screening questions for best practices.

Submit for review

When everything looks good:

  1. Click Submit for Review
  2. Our team reviews the listing (usually within 24-48 hours)
  3. You will be notified when approved
  4. Your job goes live and matching begins

  • First matches: Usually within 3-7 days of going live
  • Candidate briefs: Delivered in your dashboard
  • Response rates: 85-90% when profiles are complete
