Get Started in Three Steps

Transform your recruiting process with Cook'd's AI-powered platform.

Step 1: Create Your Organization

Set up your company profile and configure your recruiting environment.

1. **Create your organization account** at [app.cookd.dev](https://app.cookd.dev) 2. **Add company details**: Name, logo, and branding elements 3. **Configure team members**: Invite recruiters and hiring managers 4. **Set permissions**: Define access levels for different team roles 
<Tip>Upload your company logo and set brand colors for a professional candidate experience.</Tip>
Connect your existing tools to streamline your workflow: 
- **ATS Integration**: Workable, Greenhouse, Ashby
- **GitHub**: For technical interview code reviews
- **Email**: Automated candidate communications

<Note>Integrations can be added later - start with the basics first.</Note>

Step 2: Build Your First Job Posting

Create compelling job opportunities that attract top talent.

1. **Use customizable templates** or start from scratch 2. **Add job details**: Title, description, requirements, compensation 3. **Configure custom fields**: Job-specific application questions 4. **Set up branding**: Apply your company theme and styling 5. **Create SEO-friendly URLs** with custom slugs 
<Tip>Start with our proven templates and customize as needed.</Tip>
Configure what information you need from candidates: 
- **Standard fields**: Resume, contact information, work authorization
- **Custom questions**: Role-specific requirements and preferences  
- **Portfolio requests**: GitHub profiles, work samples, etc.

<Warning>Keep application forms concise to maximize completion rates.</Warning>

Step 3: Launch Resume Screening

Set up AI-powered candidate evaluation to automate your initial screening.

Set up evaluation criteria for automatic candidate assessment: 
1. **Choose core signals**: Start with 3-5 key criteria
2. **Set signal weights**: Prioritize most important qualifications
3. **Configure thresholds**: Set pass/fail scoring (recommended: 70%)
4. **Add boolean filters**: Quick qualification checks

**Popular Starting Signals:**
- Years of experience (weighted: 25%)
- Technical skills match (weighted: 30%) 
- Company experience (weighted: 20%)
- Education background (weighted: 15%)
- GitHub activity (weighted: 10%)
Turn on AI-powered candidate processing: 
1. **Review scoring system**: 4-point scale from "hard no" to "strong yes"
2. **Test with sample resumes**: Validate your criteria work correctly
3. **Enable auto-processing**: Let AI evaluate incoming applications
4. **Set up notifications**: Get alerts for high-scoring candidates

<Tip>Start conservative with thresholds - you can adjust based on results.</Tip>

Next Steps

Now that your basic recruiting pipeline is active, explore advanced features:

Quick Tips for Success

Iterate Quickly: Use the feedback from your first few candidates to refine your setup.
