How the workflow fits together

Section titled “How the workflow fits together”

Post a job

Start from the employer dashboard and create a job in the guided wizard. You can paste a job description or upload a PDF, then review the structured job details before publishing.

OpenTrain matches and screens candidates

OpenTrain uses the job requirements to notify relevant AI trainers. For recruiting-configured jobs, candidates complete an AI interview before they submit a proposal.

Review proposals and AI interview answers

The job workspace shows proposals, interview scores, screening answers, rates, and candidate context so you can compare applicants faster than a manual spreadsheet review.

Message candidates

Use proposal messages for pre-hire questions. After hiring, use the job message thread for contract work and delivery coordination.

Hire AI trainers

Hiring creates the contract, funds the first milestone, and opens the post-hire job workspace for the AI trainer.

Manage milestones, invoices, and payments

Track funded milestones in the contract tab, approve completed work, and download invoices from reports.

Why this is easier than manual sourcing

Section titled “Why this is easier than manual sourcing”

Manual sourcing usually means posting in multiple places, collecting unstructured applications, chasing candidates for screening answers, and rebuilding status tracking in a spreadsheet. OpenTrain turns that into one workflow:

  • Job requirements are captured once in the posting wizard.
  • Candidates answer the same screening questions before you review them.
  • Proposal status, messages, hiring, milestones, and invoices stay tied to the job.
  • Folder screening lets you compare candidates across related jobs or client projects.
