Positions within Events
Overview
Positions are the foundation of your event recruiting workflow. Adding positions to an event makes them visible to candidates on the landing page and connects all event activity, including assessments, interviews, and hiring decisions, directly to the position pipeline. This is a per-event configuration step that takes a few minutes.
Before you begin
Confirm the positions you want to target are published. Unpublished positions aren't visible to candidates on the event landing page.
Note: Positions with active leads or applications can't be removed from an event.
Adding positions to an event
Initial position setup
When you open the Positions tab for the first time in an event, the Select Target Positions modal appears automatically.
- Navigate to your event and select the Positions tab. The Select Target Positions modal opens.
- Use the filters to narrow your position list:
- My Open Positions: Shows positions assigned to you.
- All Open Positions: Shows all available positions in your organisation.
- Priority Filter: Filters positions by priority level.
- Select the checkbox next to each position you want to target.
- Click Add.
- Review your selections on the confirmation page.
- Click Confirm.
The selected positions appear in the Positions tab and are immediately visible to candidates on the event landing page.
Adding positions after initial setup
- Open the Positions tab in your event.
- Click Add More in the top-right corner. The position picker dialog opens.
- Select additional positions.
- Click Add, then click Confirm.
Removing a position from an event
- Locate the position in the Positions tab.
- Click the three-dot menu on the position row.
- Select Remove.
- Confirm the removal when prompted.
The position no longer appears in your event and isn't visible to candidates on the event landing page.
Note: Positions with active leads or applications can't be removed.
Monitoring position performance
Once positions are added to an event, the Positions tab displays recruiting metrics for each position. The metrics shown depend on your administrator's configuration and may include:
| Metric | Description |
| Leads | Candidates assessed during the event and added to this position pipeline |
| Applicants | Candidates who applied for this position through your career site and are attributed to the event |
| Scheduled | Candidates with scheduled interviews for this position |
| Offered | Candidates who received an offer for this position |
| Hired | Candidates who accepted an offer and were marked as hired |
The dashboard updates in real time as candidates progress through your event and recruitment workflows.
How positions connect to other event functions
Adding positions to an event enables the following workflows:
| Feature | How positions are used |
| Event landing page | Target positions appear in the Jobs We Are Hiring section, visible to candidates on registration |
| Assessments | Candidates can be assessed and added directly to a target position during the event |
| Interview scheduling | Positions can be tagged to interview schedules, surfacing relevant skills and focus areas for each round |
| Hiring decisions | Decision-makers review candidates within the context of specific positions, with consolidated feedback per candidate-position combination |
Positions dashboard and metrics
The Positions tab features a dashboard with configurable columns that track the recruitment pipeline for each requisition.
Available metrics include:
- Leads Saved: Candidates assessed during an event and added to a target position.
- Applicants Generated: Candidates who applied for the target position.
- Scheduled: The count of candidates with a ‘Confirmed’ status for a meeting. This includes candidates scheduled via the 'Event scheduling' tool or 'Schedule a meeting' action.
- Offered: The number of candidates who have reached the offer stage for this position linked to this event.
- Hired: The number of candidates hired for this position from this event.
- Added By: Displays the name of the user who added the position to the event. If a position was added via Hiring Manager sign-up, the Hiring Manager's name appears here.
Note for Admins: You can configure which columns appear in this table (such as hiding the ‘Scheduled’ column if you don't use event scheduling) using the Events Configuration menu in the Admin Console.
