# The Job Console

Click any job on the Jobs page to open its console. The console gathers every setting for that role into sections, listed in a sidebar on the left (or as tabs across the top on smaller screens). Most sections have a save bar: edits stay unsaved until you save them, and you can discard them instead.

## The console header

The header shows the job title, location, work arrangement, employment type, pay, and who created the job. On the right:

* **Status control** — for a draft, an **Activate Job** button. Otherwise a status menu with **Pause Job** or **Resume Job**, **Mark as Filled**, **Close Job**, and **Reopen Job** for filled or closed jobs. Pausing a job with a running posting bought through CONFIRM first asks whether to stop that posting too. See [Managing Jobs](/jobs/managing-jobs) for what each status does, including what happens to the job's postings.
* **⋮ menu** — **Promote Your Job on Job Boards** (see [Posting to Job Boards](/postings/posting-to-job-boards)) and **Delete Job**.

## Sections

### Overview

The landing section. It shows the job's counts — **Total**, **Reviewed**, **Eligible**, **Interviewed**, **Hired**, and **Rejected** — and a preview card for each of the other sections (job details, screening questions, pipeline, schedule, knowledge base documents, and email and calendar connections). Click a card to jump to that section.

### Details

Edit the job's core fields: title, description, work type and location, employment type and schedule, and compensation.

**Spoken title** controls how the voice agent names the role on calls. Leave it blank to use the full title; the full title stays on job boards and must keep matching your postings. The company pitch from setup is shown here when one is set.

### Screening

Three parts:

* **Voice Screening Questions** — the questions the AI agent asks on the call, including knockouts and their order. See [Screening Questions](/jobs/screening-questions) and [Knockout Criteria](/jobs/knockout-criteria).
* **Distance Screening** — turn on **Screen candidates by distance** and set a **Maximum distance** in miles from the job location (1–500; 50 by default). Candidates beyond it are automatically declined before any call is made and show as **Ineligible for Screening**. Remote jobs don't use distance screening.
* **Auto-Close Unresponsive Candidates** — see below.

#### Auto-Close Unresponsive Candidates

Turn on **Close candidates who never respond** to move candidates who are still waiting to complete their screening call and never respond to **Rejected**, with a note added to their profile.

* **Close after** — between 7 and 365 days with no response.
* **When a candidate is closed** — **Close silently** (the candidate isn't notified; recommended) or **Send a rejection message** (each closed candidate gets your standard rejection message).

Before you save, the section shows how many candidates are already past the window. If any are, you confirm before saving; they're closed up to 200 per day. Anyone who replies or answers a call before their window runs out stays open.

### Background Checks

Appears only when your organization uses [CONFIRM Background Checks](/background-checks/overview). It shows where the background check sits in this job's pipeline (or offers **Add background check step** if it isn't there yet), which screening package the job uses, and **Customize for this job** to override it. If you don't see this section and want background checks, contact your CONFIRM account team.

### Pipeline

The steps candidates go through after screening. See [The Hiring Pipeline](/jobs/hiring-pipeline), including what you can change once a job is live.

### Communications

The **Email Sender** for this job — which connected mailbox automated candidate emails come from — plus links to your organization's message templates and automation rules. See [Templates & Automation](/communication/templates-and-automation).

### Schedule

Interview scheduling for the job: the **Interview calendar** that hosts bookings (and which account bookings go to), interview length, and availability — shared across rounds on **Defaults** or customized per round. When you save, you can tick **Also apply to all other open jobs** to copy these interview windows and blocked dates to your other open jobs; each job keeps its own pipeline, interview format, and calendar owner, and the copy is one-time. See [Calendar Integration](/interviews/calendar-integration).

### Knowledge Base

The job's knowledge profile and **Job Documents** — the files the AI agent references when answering candidate questions. See [Job Knowledge Base](/jobs/job-knowledge-base).
