Getting started as an in-house recruiter

Last updated: June 19, 2026

You're hiring for your own company. Here's the fastest path to value — five-ish setup steps, then you're running real hires.

Start here if: you own or support hiring inside one organisation and want your career page, candidates, and team in one place.

  1. Set up your company profile so your career page and emails look like you. → Set up your company profile
  2. Invite your hiring managers and give them access to just their jobs. → Invite your team
  3. Create your first job and let Vouch draft the ad and qualifiers from your brief. → Create a new job listing
  4. Publish it to your career page and the job boards you use. → Sourcing & distribution
  5. Evaluate applicants against your qualifiers and shortlist with your hiring manager. → Candidate evaluation & screening
  6. Interview with the Meeting assistant so your managers can stay present and still get notes. → Meeting assistant

Good to know. The single highest-leverage thing you can do early is build your talent pool — candidates you've already met are the cheapest hires you'll ever make. Save good people even when there's no open role for them yet. → View & search your talent pool
