What is a Job Role?
A Job Role bundles the requirements for a position: title, dress code, and Candidate Profile. You set it up once and reuse it for as many shifts as you need. A Job Role includes:
Title and short description of the task.
Dress code — an existing clothing style, or items you put together yourself via "Create Uniform," plus optional additional notes.
Candidate Profile — one or more Job Titles, plus the language level, target experience, and professional training you're looking for.
Once you save the Job Role, it appears on the left of your planner and stays there — even after individual shifts under it have been completed or cancelled.
Job Role vs. Job Title — what's the difference?
The Job Role is the entire bundle of title, dress code, and Candidate Profile. A Job Title is just one part of that: within the Candidate Profile, you pick one or more Job Titles from a dropdown — these are the specific professions (e.g. "Waiter," "Warehouse Worker") you're searching for. A single Job Role can include several Job Titles, for example if you're open to candidates from more than one professional background for the same position.
What is an experience level (target experience)?
Alongside the Job Title(s), the Candidate Profile also lets you set the target experience — the experience level candidates should bring to this position. The options are:
No experience
6 months
1 year
3 years
5 years
Alongside target experience, you also specify the desired professional training. Together, these two inputs feed into a recommended hourly wage — but you only see and set that wage in a later step, when you create an Open Shift under this Job Role.
Cooplers also set their own experience level on their profile, so our matching algorithm can compare your requirements against a Coopler's actual experience.
How Job Title and experience level help find the right Cooplers
Our matching algorithm uses the information from the Candidate Profile — Job Title(s), language level, and target experience — together with the details of each shift (Venue, hourly wage, times) to suggest the best-suited Cooplers. For each Job Title and target experience you set, Coople also calculates a matching score — a percentage that shows how closely a Coopler's own profile and experience align with what you're looking for. The more precise your inputs, the more targeted the match.
Good to know
You only need to set up a Job Role once — for every further shift in the same position, you can go straight to shift creation.
You can edit an existing Job Role at any time via the three dots next to it; this only affects future shifts, not ones already completed.
