1. Why can’t I create a child job?

  • The pipeline needs to be in the Open status 
  • You must have the permission “Can create pipeline child jobs” 
  • Use CREATE > New job > “Pipeline name”


2. What if a manager has already created the job and it’s not a child job?

  • A recruiter can convert it to a child (JOB > Other > Convert to child) - The workflow selected on the job MUST be correct as cannot be changed after converting it to a child job


3. How can I stop my child jobs from matching on a specific category?

  • At any time look at the job details page to see what applications are matching on
  • If unwanted matching occurs, ensure the same exact values are selected for both child and pipeline
  • Or update your pipeline to only have one selection on the category you don’t want to be a filter


4. Child job creation tips 

  • Recommend a consistent naming approach so it is clear it is a child job and specific details (e.g. location/job type) are included
