What is Jobs & Recruitment?
Jobs & Recruitment is recruitment software for startups hiring without a recruiter. Write a posting, or let AI draft the description from the title, job type and skills, then publish it to your public careers page. Applicants apply without an account and land on a six-stage board, from Applied to Hired or Rejected, where you schedule interviews, collect feedback, send offers and convert hires into employee records.
The first two or three hires usually come from people you already know. After that you need a public link that lists open roles, takes applications and doesn't route every resume through your personal inbox. Each organization gets a careers page at an address like nautis.app/careers/your-organization-slug. Copy Link puts it on your clipboard for LinkedIn or your website, and Careers Page shows you what candidates see.
A posting has four main parts. Basic Information holds the title, the description (with a Generate button), the number of positions, the experience level and a minimum and maximum number of years. Job Details sets the job type, the workplace type (On-site, Remote or Hybrid), the industry and an optional application deadline that closes the job automatically. Required Skills saves any custom skill you type for next time, and Compensation takes a yearly salary range and currency, with a Hide salary package toggle.
Our view: publish the range unless you have a concrete reason not to. It saves both sides a screening call that ends on money, and a hidden range is still something candidates will ask about. You'll find more on structuring the offer itself in writing offer letters, and on sequencing early roles in hiring your first 10 employees.

Use cases
How startups use Jobs & Recruitment
Hiring a first engineer in the open
Click Create New, enter the title, pick Full time and Remote, and add the skills. Press Generate for a draft description, then rewrite the parts that sound like everyone else's posting: what they'll build in the first three months and who they'll work with. Set a deadline if you want the role to close on its own. After two weeks, the job's analytics show views, applications and conversion by stage. Plenty of views with few applications usually points at the posting itself.
Running three roles at once with a part-time interview panel
Each job gets its own board with Applied, Screening, Interview, Offer, Hired and Rejected columns, and every new application sends your team a notification. On the job's Interviews tab, Schedule Interview sets the date, time, panel and round, and panellists record Feedback on the candidate's card afterwards, so a busy co-founder can review notes without sitting in every call.
Pausing a role when the plan changes
Click the archive icon and choose a reason such as filled or paused. The role leaves your careers page and moves to the Unpublished tab, and Restore brings it back. Archiving doesn't notify anyone, and applicants stay in the pipeline, so use Reject on individual candidates to close them out kindly. Dragging someone out of Offer or Hired asks you to confirm first.
Quick start
From zero to using Jobs & Recruitment
- 1
Create a posting
Title, description (or generate with AI), positions, experience.
- 2
Publish to careers
Live on your public careers page instantly.
- 3
Manage applicants
Move through stages with notes, files, and interviews.
- 4
Make the offer
Track from offer to accept and hand off to Employee Management.
Where AI helps in hiring
The Generate button next to the job description drafts one from the title, job type and skills you've entered. It uses your organization's AI credits; if credits run out, the field still works as an ordinary text editor.
Treat the draft as a starting point. It knows what you typed into the form, not what makes the role worth taking, so add the specifics yourself before you click Publish.
Recruitment software for startups: email vs Nautis vs a dedicated applicant tracking system
A dedicated applicant tracking system is the better pick once you hire every month, run structured scorecards or need custom screening questions. Before that, the deciding factor is usually whether you want hiring to feed straight into your employee records.
| Step | Email and a spreadsheet | Nautis Jobs & Recruitment | Dedicated applicant tracking system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Careers page | Build your own | Public page listing every published role | Usually included |
| Application form | Applicants email you | Name, email, phone, resume and cover letter | Usually configurable |
| Pipeline | Columns you maintain | Six stages per job, drag and drop | Usually configurable stages |
| Interviews and feedback | Calendar invites and chat threads | Scheduled on the job, feedback on the card | Usually, often with scorecards |
| Distribution | Paste the link yourself | Share the careers link yourself | Depends on the product |
| Handing the hire to HR records | Retype everything | Convert to employee, details filled in | Usually through an integration |
Plans and limits
- Jobs & Recruitment must be enabled on your plan, and job usage shows on the App Usage tab of Account Settings. Creating a posting needs Jobs permission and a verified email.
- Nautis has a 14-day trial with no card. When it ends without a plan, the workspace pauses and job applications respond as temporarily unavailable until an owner or admin picks one from pricing.
What Jobs & Recruitment doesn't do
- There are no custom screening questions yet. Every applicant answers the same default form.
- The guide describes six fixed pipeline stages per job, so a process with extra rounds lives in the Interviews tab rather than as new columns.
- The guide doesn't list posting to job boards. You share the careers link yourself.
- Postings belong to one organization. If you run two companies on Nautis, switch organizations before creating each role.
Jobs & Recruitment questions
When does a startup need recruitment software?+
Once you're hiring for more than one role at a time, or applications are arriving from strangers rather than referrals. Before that, a shared inbox works. The useful test is whether anyone has lost track of a candidate yet.
Can I keep the salary range private?+
Yes. Under Compensation, turn on Hide salary package and candidates won't see the range on your careers page. You still enter the minimum, maximum and currency for your own records.
What happens when the application deadline passes?+
The job closes automatically on that date. It's useful for time-bound hiring pushes, such as interns for a summer, where you want applications to stop without remembering to unpublish.
How do I move a hired candidate into the employee directory?+
Drag them to Hired. Nautis offers Convert to employee; confirm the basic details and they're added to HR Management with their information filled in, ready for compensation and bank details.
How can I tell which job postings aren't working?+
Open Jobs Analytics from the header, or the analytics icon on a job row. It shows views, application counts, conversion rates by stage and trends over time, which makes a listing nobody applies to easy to spot.
Where does my careers page live?+
It's at nautis.app/careers/your-organization-slug. Click Copy Link on the jobs dashboard to grab the exact URL. You can also link directly to a job's apply page.
Can I require a cover letter or extra questions?+
The default application form asks for name, email, phone, resume, and a cover letter. There aren't custom screening questions yet.
Why can't I click 'Create New'?+
Either you don't have permission on this organization, or your email isn't verified. Verify your email under Account Settings → Profile, then refresh.
Can I move a candidate back to an earlier stage?+
Yes — drag them in either direction. If you drag them out of Offer or Hired, Nautis confirms before changing the stage.
Does archiving a job notify candidates?+
No — archiving just hides the role from your careers page. Candidates who already applied stay in the pipeline. Use Reject on individual candidates if you want to close them out.
Can I post the same job to multiple organizations?+
Job postings live inside one organization. If you run more than one company on Nautis, switch the Organization picker at the top before clicking Create New.
Can applicants upload a resume?+
Yes. The application form asks for name, email, phone, a resume, and a cover letter.
Does the AI consider my employer brand?+
It drafts from the job title, type, and skills you enter. Edit the draft to add your own voice and specifics.
