This PRD outlines a new job creation flow that replaces the current single-stage job creation with a comprehensive hiring plan builder. The new flow will guide users through creating a job description, selecting a hiring plan template, and automatically generating all stages, interviews, and competencies.
Current job creation flow:
- Creates only a single pre-screen stage
- Doesn't support the full ATS workflow (sourcing → screening → interviewing → offer)
- Requires manual setup of additional stages and interviews
- Not optimized for different hiring scenarios (tech, sales, operations, etc.)
New job creation flow at /company/[companySlug]/jobs/ats/create that:
- Captures job description and basic details
- Recommends hiring plan templates based on role type and volume
- Generates complete hiring workflow with appropriate AI/human interview stages
- Auto-generates competencies for each interview stage
- Creates all stages, interviews, and competencies in one atomic operation
