Creating a Role

A role is where you define what you're hiring for. It's the first step in Lavalier—once you create a role, you can set up interviews and add candidates to it.

How to create a role

1. Go to Roles in the left sidebar
2. Click New Rolein the top right and choose how to get started:
   • Record Intake — Record an intake meeting with a hiring manager and Lavalier extracts the role details from the conversation automatically.
   • Create Role — Start from scratch by describing what you're looking for. Lavalier will help you build it out and can generate a job description when you're done.
   • Import Job Post — Upload an existing job description (PDF, Word, or text file) and Lavalier will extract the details and create the role for you. Roles imported this way are automatically marked as ready for interviews once extraction completes.

Tip: Already inside a role? You can also drag a file into the role chat to extract details into an existing role.

Lavalier auto-saves as you go, so you can come back anytime to finish.

What Happens Next?

Once your role is ready, you can:

• Customize Interview Stages — Tailor the interview process for this role
• Schedule Interview — Set up interviews for your team
• Generate Job Post — Create a job listing
• Mark as Ready for Interviews — Move the role from draft to active so you can start adding candidates.
