## Before you start

You need a Tandem account with access to a [workspace](https://tandem.joveo.com/support/get-started/key-terms.md#workspace), and a role you want to hire for.

## Take your first role live

1. **Describe the role**

   On `Home`, type the role in `Tell us about your hiring needs` and press `Enter`.

   Example: "Hiring a senior React developer in San Francisco, remote-friendly, $150–180k."

2. **Answer Tandem's questions**

   Tandem asks for anything you left out: location, work mode, employment type, salary range or number of openings.

3. **Open your draft**

   Open `Roles`. Your new role is under `Drafts`. Click `Continue setup`.

4. **Review the draft**

   Check the job details, description and stages. In the chat, Tandem lists what it assumed and anything that blocks going live.

   > **Tip.** Read the list of what Tandem assumed. Correct anything that's wrong now, before candidates see the role.

5. **Review your candidate policies (first role only)**

   If this is your workspace's first role, open `Settings → Policy` and click `Mark as reviewed`. A role can't go live until someone has done this once.

6. **Make the role live**

   In the role's chat, tell Tandem `make the role live`.

   > **Warning.** Candidate searches use credits, and Tandem runs a first search when a role goes live. Read [How credits work](https://tandem.joveo.com/support/credits/how-credits-work.md) before you continue.

7. **Check the hiring flow**

   Open the role and click `Hiring flow`. Stages with auto-advance move candidates who meet your bar. Everyone else waits for you in [Needs review](https://tandem.joveo.com/support/interviews/needs-review.md).

8. **Review your first candidates**

   Applicants appear in the role's pipeline. Click a candidate to open their profile and check the `Talent match` score.

   > **Tip.** Ask Tandem about the role. In the role's chat, try `Show me the current pipeline status.`

## What happens next

Tandem searches the open market for matches and reports the results in the chat. It never rejects a candidate: you hire or reject, one at a time.

Going live doesn't start job ads. To reach more people, turn on `Outreach flow` or [advertise the role](https://tandem.joveo.com/support/job-ads/start-advertising.md).
