# Roles overview

> A role holds one hire in Tandem: the job, its hiring flow, its candidates and your chat, and everything you do happens inside it.

| Label | What it's for |
| --- | --- |
| `Job details` | The summary and job description |
| `Hiring flow` | The stages and how each one runs |
| `Outreach flow` | Emails to people Tandem found or you added |
| `Advertise` | Job ads for the role |
| `Import` | Candidates you add by hand or CSV |

To move a candidate, use the `Stage` dropdown on their row.

## A role's life

A role starts as a draft, which isn't public. When you make it live, its job page goes public and candidates can apply. You can pause it while hiring is on hold, and close it when you're done.
