Post an internal opportunity

What this achieves

Posting an opportunity puts a piece of work in front of the people already employed at your company. The wizard collects what the work is, where it sits in the organization, and when it runs, then posts it for employees to find.

Required role: Administrator or Manager.

Before you start

Decide the type first. It governs what happens when somebody is accepted, and changing it after applications arrive is the most expensive correction in this section.

Steps

Go to Opportunities → Browse.
Select Post Opportunity.
On Basics, enter the Title.

Example: Senior Backend Engineer.
Leave Code blank to have one generated, or enter your own.
Choose the Type.
Choose the Hiring manager.
Enter the Description.
Set Confidential only if the posting must stay off the marketplace.
Select Continue.
On Placement, choose the Department, the Job profile, the Grade, the Work style, and the Location.
Select Continue.
On Schedule, set the Start date, End date, and Application deadline under Timeline.
Under Effort & Capacity, set Hours / week and Max applicants. Both are optional.
Under Pay Rate, set the Rate, the Currency, and Per.
Select Continue.
On Review, check Review Details and select Post Opportunity.

The job profile is what makes matching possible

Job profile is the field that does the most work on the Placement step. Matching compares an employee’s recorded skills and competencies against what the role requires, so a posting attached to a profile that states its requirements can be scored, and one attached to nothing cannot.

Example: an engineering opportunity at HC Corp UK Ltd pointed at a profile with mapped skills produces match scores for every employee. The same opportunity with no profile produces a posting people must find for themselves.

Options on the Basics step

Option	Description
Title	What the opportunity is called in the marketplace.
Code	A short reference. Generated for you if you leave it blank.
Type	Full Role, Gig, Project, or Secondment. Decides what acceptance creates.
Hiring manager	The person the applications are for.
Description	The role, its scope, and what somebody would get out of it.
Confidential	Hides the opportunity from the marketplace so that only invited reviewers see it.

Options on the Placement step

Option	Description
Department	Where the work sits.
Job profile	The profile whose requirements matching scores against.
Grade	The level of the work.
Work style	Office, Remote, or Hybrid.
Location	Which site the work is based at.

Options on the Schedule step

Option	Description
Start date	When the work begins.
End date	When it ends. Leave blank for a permanent role.
Application deadline	When applications stop being accepted.
Hours / week	The weekly effort expected. Optional, and the figure a current manager will weigh for a gig.
Max applicants	A cap on how many applications are taken.
Rate	The pay rate for the work.
Currency	The currency the rate is in.
Per	Hour, Day, or Fixed (total).

The rate, the currency, and the unit are set together. Enter all three or leave all three blank.

Drafting the description

Draft description with AI produces a structured description from what you have entered so far, and costs credits from your workspace allowance. It is a starting draft: read it, correct anything it has assumed, and make sure the scope matches the work you actually have.

Example: a generated description for an HC Corp UK Ltd engineering role names responsibilities that sound plausible for the title. Check them against the job profile before posting, because applicants will hold you to them.

Editing after posting

Editing reopens the same wizard with the values already in place. Requirements are not part of it — those are set on the opportunity itself.

What happens next

A new opportunity starts as a draft and is not visible to employees until it is published. Set its skill and competency requirements next, because matching scores against those rather than against the description, and matches generated before the requirements are complete will need generating again.
