Getting started
Quickstart
Post a job, publish it, take your first application, and read what the model made of it — the one guided path through Krinoa.
About fifteen minutes from sign-up to a first read. You need a second email address to apply with and a PDF résumé to attach.
Sign up#
Open /sign-up and give your name, an email and a password — or continue with Google or Microsoft, or ask for a sign-in link by email. A password account proves its address first: open the link in the verification mail. Every way in then lands on setup, three short steps.
Set up the workspace#
- Workspace, at
/welcome— the company name and the careers page address, the slug injobs.krinoa.com/<slug>. The address follows the name until you edit it and is checked as you type; if it is taken, a free one is offered. A logo is optional, and the workspace takes your browser's time zone. You are its owner. The name changes later in Settings › General, the address in Settings › Careers page. - First job, at
/welcome/job— title, location, kind of employment and description, saved as a draft. Nothing is public yet. - Team, at
/welcome/team— up to five invitations, each as an admin or an interviewer.
The last two can be skipped. Today then shows a Get set up checklist of what is left, which you can close.
Post a job and publish it#
Open the draft from setup under Jobs, or Jobs › New job. Only the title is required, but Requirements is the block that matters: one per line, because the read works through them one at a time and quotes the evidence it found for each. Three or four a résumé could plausibly answer is enough:

Apply to your own job#
Open that link in a private window, so you arrive signed out exactly as a candidate does, and apply with your second email address and the PDF. Write real sentences in the answers: the read quotes what the candidate wrote, so three words produce a thin read. The PDF matters too — the text extractor only reads PDFs, and a quote it cannot locate in the source is dropped rather than shown.
Read the application and decide#
The application lands on the job's Pipeline board as a card in Applied, showing ·· for its score until the read finishes. Click it to open the packet: the candidate's own material on the left, the read on the right — a score, a line per requirement with the quote that earned its verdict, and findings.
Decide from the packet header: Advance → for the next stage, or Reject…, which asks first because it can email the candidate. Either way the move is written to the ledger with your name on it.
If the packet says no screening model is configured, everything above still works — there is no read. Screening turns one on.
