Turn on hiring
Hiring comes switched off, so nothing reaches an applicant until you decide. Turning it on is one press on Hiring’s dashboard; the dashboard then shows three steps — your hiring email, your texting registration and your company page — and each turns Done on its own as you finish it. Keep your EIN letter beside you: most of the typing is copying from it.
Have these ready
- Your EIN letter from the IRS
- Your legal name, EIN and address exactly as printed. The phone carriers check your texting registration against it.
- Each station’s address
- Where candidates come for an interview or training. It is the address your public pages print — never your legal one.
- A phone somebody answers
- The carriers may call it to check your business. It is never on a public page.
- The job, in your words
- What it pays, the days, what it asks and what it gives — for your apply page. A job ad you already run is a good start.
Turn it on
Hiring
Open Hiring from the menu.
Its door says OFF, and the dashboard opens on a yellow sign, HIRING MODULE OFF. The Owner turns it on — anybody else reads The Owner turns the hiring module on.
Press Turn hiring module on…
A question opens with what starts now: the apply pages you have marked open take applications, emails to applicants leave from your hiring address, and your company page shows an apply door at each station.
Press Turn hiring module on.
The sign reads HIRING MODULE ON, and Getting hiring ready shows three numbered cards. Each is a door to its own screen and can be done in any order; this guide takes them one to three.
Step 1 · Hiring email
Hiring › Configuration
Nothing to do. OpsBrio set up hiring@yourcode.opsbrio.com when your company was made, so the card already says Done — or Waiting for the few minutes that takes. An applicant’s reply lands on their record. To see a message arrive, press Send a test to me.
Step 2 · Texting registration
Hiring › Configuration › Register your company for texting
Phone carriers only deliver business texts from a registered company. You type your business in once; OpsBrio files it with Telnyx and the carriers for you, and texting turns on by itself. Start it early — the carriers take a few days.
Copy your business from the EIN letter.
Legal company name and Legal address exactly as the letter prints them — that address even if it is your home; only the carriers see it. Then the Legal form. If you filled in Settings › Legal identity, the boxes come filled: check them against the letter.
Type the EIN, then type it again.
Nine digits — two, a dash, then seven, like 12-3456789; the dash fills itself in. EIN again takes no paste, because it is the check on the first box. A number written like a Social Security number is refused, and the box says so.
Add your website and a contact.
Website can be your OpsBrio address — your pages already carry your text-message terms and privacy policy under your name. The Contact email and Contact phone are where Telnyx and the carriers reach you; neither is ever public.
Tick the box at the foot, then press Submit for registration.
The tick says these are your legal details exactly as the IRS has them, and that OpsBrio may register for you. Telnyx charges $4.50 once for the brand; the campaign’s fees come on your OpsBrio bill. Save for later keeps what you typed without sending it.
- Brand
- Telnyx checks your details against the IRS — usually minutes.
- Campaign
- OpsBrio files it once your brand is verified and an apply page is open (step 3). The carriers then take a few days.
- Numbers
- A local number for each station, bought when the carriers approve. The card then says On, and the step Done.
Step 3 · Website & Hiring
Your company page and your first apply page. The card turns Done when the page is shown, says who you are and prints a station’s address — and at least one apply page is open. The carriers read both before they approve your texts.
Settings › Website & Hiring
Leave Show our page on.
It starts on. Off, your address opens on the sign-in page instead, and the carriers find nothing to read.
Write About.
One paragraph under your company’s name: who you are, what you do, the kind of driver you want. Up to 1,200 characters, counted as you type — the pay and the days go on the apply page.
Add Why drive with us if you like, and leave the phone blank unless it should be public.
One perk per line; the first four also sit beside every apply page’s form. Phone on your public pages is optional, and anybody can call it.
Pick Address on your public pages, then press Save.
Choose a station. Its address prints at the foot of your company page and every apply page — a station’s, never your legal one. A station with no address yet is filled in the next step.
Under Your stations in public, fill in each station, then press Save.
The Town or city and State candidates read — never the station code — the ZIP, which places the job on Google, and the Station address, where they come for an interview or training.
Then the other half of this step: your first apply page.
Hiring › Apply pages
Pick the station at the top.
Each station has its own pages. With none yet, the form in the middle is already a new page; for another, press + New page — a second job, or a second address.
Fill in the page.
Address is the end of its link,
/apply/…. Applicants land in is the hiring process — one comes set for each station. Headline and Job title are read first; Pay line (say per what — “$22.50 an hour”) and Days line are optional. Where the job is comes from the station. Paste the Job description from your job ad: it keeps its shape, and a [bracket] left over from a template is refused.Read the screening questions beside it.
Three come set, asked on every page. One that can decline turns somebody away on the spot with the reason, and its row says so in words. Edit…, Stop asking and Add a question change them.
Tick Page is open — applications land on the board, then press Make the page.
It is live at once. Where it hangs, below, has its QR code and Copy link.
Check it
Look at the top of Hiring.
Each card says Done, To do or Waiting, and the line above counts them. When all three are done, the cards fold away. Texting can sit at Waiting for a few days while the carriers review — that wait is theirs, not yours.
Open your apply page signed out.
Open the page in a new tab › sits beside a live page; open it in a private window. You should see the job and the form — what applicants, and the carriers’ reviewers, see.
Don’t send a test application.
It lands on your board as a real candidate and is sent whatever the first step sends. If you sent one, decline it with Decline… › Decline quietly — send nothing.
Who can help
Ops team › Roles
You don’t have to do all of it yourself. Each part of Hiring is its own row on the grid, under Hiring, and the Owner decides who holds it.
- Turn hiring module on or off
- The switch itself — the Owner’s alone until you share it.
- Hiring configuration
- The texting registration and the hiring email — the Owner’s at first. Give it to whoever fills in step 2.
- Screening questions
- The questions and Required days on Apply pages — the Owner, Ops Managers and HR at first.
- Hiring
- Working the candidates: the board, conversations, interviews, moving and declining.
- I-9 files
- The I-9 card on a candidate’s record — a row of its own, because it holds identity documents.
Turning it off again
Hiring
Turn hiring module off… sits beside the three cards, and at the foot of Hiring’s dashboard once they are done. It asks first, and the red answer closes your apply pages, cancels every email and text waiting to go — they are never sent later — and takes the apply doors and the hiring mailbox off your company page. Candidates on file stay where they are, every screen still opens, and turning it back on is the same press as the first time.
