A project groups related jobs under one plan, such as a new office or a team build-out. It shows how many of its jobs are open and how many are filled. **Projects** sits in the **Workspace** group of the sidebar. ## Create a project **1. Open Projects** Click **Projects** in the sidebar, then **New project**. **2. Name it** Type a **Name** and, if you like, a **Description**. **3. Create it** Click **Create project**. The project opens on its **Overview** tab with the status **Draft**. Creating a project doesn't create jobs, contact anyone or use credits. ## The Overview tab Click the project's name to rename it. **Details** holds: | Field | What you set | | - | - | | **Status** | **Draft**, **Planned**, **In progress**, **Completed** or **Cancelled**. You set it by hand. | | **Lead** | One person from your workspace. | | **Members** | People from your workspace who work on the project. | | **Team** | One of your workspace's [teams](/companies/teams.md). | | **Start date** and **Target date** | When the plan starts and when you want it done. | **Description** below is free text for the plan's scope and what success looks like. **Lead** and **Members** are informational only. They don't grant or restrict access. Everyone in your workspace with the right role can see and work on every project. ## Add jobs to a project On the **Roles** tab, click **+** (**Add role**): * **Create new role** opens **Add a role**. Type a **Role title**, choose whether it starts as **Planned** or **Open**, and click **Add role**. The new job opens on its **Brief** tab. See [Job statuses](#job-statuses). * **Add existing role** lets you search your workspace's jobs and pick one. You can also put a job in a project from the job itself: open its **Brief** tab and set **Project** in **Details**. A job belongs to one project at a time. Adding a job that's already in another project moves it. The **Roles** tab lists the project's jobs with their **Function**, **Engagement**, **Location**, **Candidates** and **Status**, and you can search and filter them by status. Each row's **…** menu has **Open role**, **Copy ID** and **Remove from project**. Removing a job from a project only unlinks it. The job, its candidates and its listing stay as they are. ## Job statuses Every job has a status, shown on the **Roles** page, in the job's header and in **Details** on its **Brief** tab. Change it from **Status** in **Details**. | Status | What it means | | - | - | | **Draft** | Still being written. | | **Planned** | A job you've committed to but aren't hiring for yet. | | **Qualifying** | Live, collecting candidates to qualify for later. A candidate's **Move to stage…** menu offers **Qualified** but no **Offer** or **Hired**. | | **Open** | Live and hiring. | | **Closed** | Done. See [Close, reopen or delete a job](/companies/close-reopen-delete.md). | Only **Qualifying** and **Open** jobs are live. A **Draft** or **Planned** job can't take candidates, run a search or publish its listing. You can still write its brief and draft its listing. A job you start from the agent chat starts as **Open**. Picking **Closed** opens the **Close position** dialog. Moving a job out of **Closed** puts its listing back to an unpublished draft. Moving a job between the other statuses doesn't touch its listing or its candidates. ## The Projects page The **Projects** page lists every project in the workspace. Search with the search icon, filter by **Status**, **Lead** or **Team**, and use **Display** to sort and choose columns: | Column | Shows | | - | - | | **Team** | The project's team | | **Roles** | How many jobs are in the project | | **Open** | How many of them have the status **Open**. **Qualifying** jobs aren't counted. | | **Filled** | How many jobs have hired everyone they need, out of all the project's jobs. A job is filled when its hires reach its **Openings** on the brief. | | **Start date**, **Target date**, **Status**, **Lead** | What you set on the project's Overview | Each row's **…** menu has **Open project**, **Copy ID** and **Delete project**. ## Who can do what | Action | Who | | - | - | | See projects | Everyone in the workspace | | Create a project, edit it, add or remove jobs | Members, admins and owners | | Delete a project | Admins and owners | ## Common questions > **Does deleting a project delete its jobs?** > > No. Its jobs are only detached from it. They keep their candidates, listings and status. > **Does the project status change when all its jobs close?** > > No. The project's status only changes when you change it. Job statuses and the project status are separate. > **Can one job be in two projects?** > > No. A job belongs to one project at a time. Adding it to another project moves it there. > **[Create a job](/companies/create-a-job.md)** > > Start a job from a description, or add one by title. > **[Write the brief](/companies/brief-criteria.md)** > > Status, project, openings and every other detail on the brief.
