# What is a Job & How to Create a Job

## What is a Job

In Manatal, a 'Job' represents an open position or vacancy in a company. For **Recruitment Agencies**, the creation of a new job entails the acquisition of a new position description and recruitment request from a client. Conversely, for **Company/Corporate** entities, a job signifies an unfilled role within the organization.

4. Assign users or entire groups to a Job Team. Once selected, all users and group members are automatically added to the job and become part of its team. ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/39490836-1db1-4486-9bf0-9314bc46f971/Images/Documentation/image-PUVYAOVD.png)

6. Fill out any additional fields as needed. The job pipeline feature lets you assign a custom pipeline to each job. Keep in mind, you can update the assigned pipeline when editing a job.
