# Hiring: jobs and resumes in the chat — Telybot docs - URL: https://telybot.com/docs/guide-hiring - Last updated: 2026-10-24 ## Hiring: jobs and resumes in the chat Telybot Hiring lets people apply for your jobs in the chat: the bot asks your questions and takes the resume, and each applicant is scored against the job. Every applicant lands in one list, and the score is a guide: a person always decides. You find it all under **Hiring** in the dashboard: **Jobs**, **Candidates** and **Settings**. Hiring is an add-on. It comes with the Scale plan and with Enterprise. On Starter or Growth you add it from the Plan page for a monthly price, and it renews with your plan in the same payment. ### Add a job 1. Open **Hiring → Settings** and switch on **Offer your open jobs in the chat**. 2. Open **Hiring → Jobs** and press **New job**. Give it a title, where the person works, the kind of job and, if you like, the pay. 3. Under **What you are looking for**, list the must-have and nice-to-have skills, the minimum years of experience and the education you need. Each resume is scored against these. 4. Add up to ten **Screening questions**. Tick an answer as **Does not meet the job** to flag it: the application is still taken, and you decide. 5. Save. Press **Share job** to copy the job's link, download its QR code, or copy the snippet for your careers page. ### Import jobs from your files Telybot can read the jobs you already have and fill them in for you: job descriptions, a spreadsheet of openings, or photos of a job advert or poster. Each job it finds becomes a draft for you to check. 1. Open **Hiring → Jobs** and press **Import jobs**. 2. Drop up to ten files, or paste the text of a job advert. PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), CSV, text files and photos all work. 3. Press **Read with AI**. Reading takes from a few seconds to a minute. 4. Each job appears on **Hiring → Jobs** under **Drafts to check**, with its title, place, pay, description, skills, experience, education and up to three screening questions. 5. Press **Review draft** to check a job and change anything, then **Publish** it. **Publish all** publishes every draft at once. A draft is never offered to candidates, and its pay stays hidden until you tick **Show the pay to candidates**. A job you already have with the same title and place is skipped, so you can import the same spreadsheet again after adding rows. One import adds up to 30 jobs, and you can import ten times a day. A scanned PDF has no text to read: import photos of its pages instead. ### What does the applicant see? Someone who opens the job's link, or asks your bot "are you hiring?" or "any vacancies for SDE 2?", sees the jobs as cards, the one they named first, and taps **Apply**. The bot then asks, one step at a time: - whether they agree to your notice about how their details are used and how long they are kept. Nothing is kept from anyone who says no; - their resume, a PDF or Word file sent with the paperclip. The bot reads it and fills in their name, email, phone, city and years of experience from it; - only what the resume did not say: a missing phone number, how soon they can start, and your screening questions. At the end they get a reference, such as APP-1042. Later they can ask the bot for the status of their application, and they hear "received", "being reviewed", "shortlisted" and so on, never "not selected". Prefer the bot to ask every question first and take the resume last? Under **Hiring → Settings → How people apply**, choose **Questions first**. ### Help people find the job that fits them Someone with seven years of experience should not end up applying for a junior role. A visitor who is not sure which of your jobs suits them can ask the bot "which job fits me?", tap **Which job fits me?** under the greeting, or tap **Not sure which one? Send your resume** under the job cards. 1. The bot asks them to agree to a short notice, then to send their resume. 2. It reads the resume and compares it with every open job, the same way it scores an application: the skills the job asks for, the years of experience, the education. 3. It answers with the roles that fit best, each marked **Strong fit** or **Possible fit** with the skills it matched. The most senior role they qualify for comes first. 4. **Apply** on one of those cards starts the application with the resume already attached and their details filled in: they agree to your notice, answer your screening questions, and are done. The visitor never sees a number or the word "weak"; when nothing fits well, they see the two nearest roles and can still apply for any job. On **Candidates**, such an application says **From a resume check**, and the drawer lists the other open jobs the resume fit under **Also fits**. Switch the check off under **Hiring → Settings** if you do not want it. Each check counts as one of the add-on's monthly resume reads; a check that does not become an application is deleted after 30 days. ### Review candidates and their score Each resume is read within a minute or two. **Candidates** lists everyone who applied, with filters for the job, the stage and the score, a search box and an export to a spreadsheet. Open a candidate to see: - **The score** from 0 to 100, with the parts it is made of: must-have skills, experience, nice-to-have skills, education, screening answers and the resume itself. **Strong** is 75 or more, **Possible** 50 to 74, **Weak** under 50; - **Best at**: the technologies the resume shows most, each with the line of the resume that shows it; - **Strengths**, **Gaps** and notes about the resume, their answers, and the other jobs they applied for; - buttons to move them to the next stage, add a note, download the resume, open the chat or delete the candidate. The score is a screening aid. It only reads skills, roles, dates, education and the resume itself, never anything about the person, and it never rejects anyone: a person decides. ### Get alerts for new applications **WhatsApp alerts** on the Candidates page sends a WhatsApp message to your own phone for each new application: the job and its reference, with a link, never the candidate's name or details. It is the same switch as on the Orders page, and each team member turns it on for themselves. **Email me about each new application**, under **Settings**, tells the team by email. ### Who on your team sees what? The owner and admins see everything. Editors manage jobs but do not see candidates. Agents see and move candidates but do not edit jobs. ### How long are applications kept? You choose how long applications are kept after a job is filled or a candidate is not selected: 30, 90 or 180 days, a year, or until you delete them. A candidate can withdraw in the chat, and you can delete a candidate at any time; either way their details and resume are erased. > Limits: 10 open jobs and 300 resumes read a month when Hiring is added to Starter or Growth, 25 and 1,000 with Scale. A job has up to 10 screening questions; a resume can be up to 10 MB.
