# Jobs
> Jobs are open positions under a client. They contain candidates and define the role you're recruiting for.
A **job** (or **job position**) is an open role you're recruiting for. Jobs live under clients and contain candidates in your pipeline.
## How jobs work
Jobs are the most granular level of the recruitment hierarchy:
```text theme={null}
Client
└── Job
└── Candidates
```
Each job has a title, optional description, and a pipeline of candidates. You can use the job description for AI-powered features like candidate fit scoring and AI Scout search.
### Creating a job
1. Open a client (from a teamspace).
2. Click **+ (Add a new job)**.
3. Enter the job title (e.g., "Senior Backend Engineer", "Product Manager").
4. Optionally add a job description.
5. Choose **Public** or **Private**:
* **Public** — All client members can see and work with this job.
* **Private** — Only invited members can access.
### 📋 Import LinkedIn Job Posting as Job:
If a user wants to import straight from LinkedIn a job post of his desire as a **Job** inside Lope he can simply:
1. Click **+ (Add a new job)** under any Client from the sidebar.
2. Paste the **LinkedIn url** from that job (i.e `https:www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/job_id` ).
3. Click **Import data.**
### Job permissions
| Permission | Who can access |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Public** | All client members |
| **Private** | Only members explicitly invited to the job |
Job access is inherited from **client membership**. If you're a member of the client, you can access its public jobs. Private jobs require an explicit invite.
## What lives in a job
* **Candidates** — People in your pipeline for this role
* **Pipeline stages** — Sourced, Screened, Interviewed, Reviewed, Not a fit, Placed, Unassigned
Candidates move through stages as you evaluate them. The pipeline view shows counts per stage.
## Jobs in the sidebar
Jobs appear under their client when you expand the client in the sidebar. Click a job to open its candidate pipeline and data table.
