How to create a profile
BambooHR profiles are created automatically when someone is marked as hired in Greenhouse via integration. However, here are the steps to create one manually:
Creating a Job Title
This action is not always needed. We need to create a Job Title only when it is new to BambooHR.
- Go to Settings
- Click on Employee Fields
- Job Title
- Write the new title on the field and click Add
Creating a profile
On the Home page, click on New → New Employee top right of the screen.
Complete as many of the fields possible. Look at the next section to know which fields we complete and how. Keep in mind that when creating a profile manually, the Options and Commission fields don’t appear. You will need to go to the profile after it’s been created to complete those missing fields.
