How PowerHires Works

Know your job opening
The first step is something you should already have—to write an effective application, you need to know who you're looking for. What skills and experience do you really need? If you aren't sure, you won't be getting the full benefit from PowerHires.
Create your opening
Create your new application, including the job title and description

Editing the job description
Add related skills
Add the skills you think are needed for the position

Adding desired skills
Add detailed drilldown questions
Add detailed questions to check that the applicant really has the skills they claim. You could also ask other questions not related to skills—salary history, team fit, et cetera.

Adding detailed questions
Save and Publish the application
After you are done, make sure the save, and then publish, your opening.
After you hit the 'Save' button, it will turn into a 'Publish' button.
Post your job
However you normally post your jobs online, post your new job. Make sure that you ask people to apply using the PowerHires application.
The application link will be displayed on the 'applicant' page you are sent to after you publish your opening. This is the page you go to when you click the name of your opening on http://www.powerhires.com/manage/openings.php
Review your applicants
As people apply, you can use your normal hiring process, but now your applicants are all in the PowerHires database, so it's easier to find and manage them.

Reviewing an applicant
You'll never have to go searching for a resume or notes again. We'll even automate sending your email!
When you change an applicant's state (for example, from "open" to "phone screen") you are given the option of sending an email. After they are sent, those emails will show up in the Notes section of the resume.
