Create Opening
Create a new opening (job requisition) in Ashby ATS. An opening represents a job requisition - a request to hire for a specific position. All parameters are optional, but typically you'll want to provide at least a title, job IDs, and location IDs for a meaningful opening. Use this action to: - Create a new job opening with specific requirements - Associate openings with existing jobs, locations, and teams - Set hiring targets, employment type, and opening state - Track backfill positions vs new roles Required permission: openingsWrite Note: To get valid IDs for teamId, locationIds, and jobIds, use the corresponding List Departments, List Locations, and List Jobs actions.
Why this helps
Approved hiring requests wait for manual requisition setup and lose momentum.
- Speed up requisition creation
- Keep approval context attached
- Improve hiring plan visibility
