After you publish a job, matched AI trainers can complete screening and submit proposals. The employer job workspace shows the candidate list, interview signals, proposal status, messaging entry points, and hiring actions.

​
Open the Proposals tab

From My Jobs, select a published job. The job workspace opens with tabs for Proposals, Instructions, Job Posting, and Settings. Jobs with hired AI trainers also show job messages and contract details.

​
Decide who to review first

Proposal rows help you triage candidates quickly:
  • Interview score summarizes the AI interview result.
  • Status filters separate all, shortlisted, unreviewed, maybe, hired, declined, and resume-sent candidates.
  • Rate shows the candidate’s proposed pricing.
  • Proposal messages opens pre-hire conversations for candidate questions.
  • View Proposal opens the candidate’s full proposal and profile context.
Use these signals to decide which applicants deserve deeper review, not as an automatic hiring decision.

​
Message candidates before hiring

Use proposal messages for pre-hire questions about availability, work samples, domain experience, or project details. Proposal messages stay tied to the proposal. After you hire, OpenTrain creates a separate job message thread for post-hire work. Keep delivery instructions, milestone questions, and ongoing coordination in the job message thread.

​
Hire an AI trainer

When you are ready to hire:
1

Open the candidate proposal

Click View Proposal from the Proposals tab.
2

Review the candidate context

Check the proposal message, AI interview answers, resume/profile context, rate, and any screening signals.
3

Start the hire flow

Click Hire and enter the first milestone scope and amount.
4

Fund the first milestone

OpenTrain collects payment through Stripe and marks the first milestone as funded.
5

Coordinate post-hire work

Use the job message thread, instructions, and contract tab for ongoing work.
Hiring creates the contract and first milestone. The proposal message remains available for pre-hire context, but the job message thread is the correct place for post-contract communication.

​
What happens after hire

The job workspace becomes the project control surface:
  • Messages — post-hire communication with the AI trainer.
  • Contract — active contract and milestone timeline.
  • Instructions — task guidelines for hired AI trainers.
  • Job Posting — the published job details.
  • Settings — job configuration and visibility controls.
Use Done Hiring when the job is fully staffed and you no longer want new proposals.

​
Organize review with folders

Folders group related jobs by client, campaign, or hiring sprint. Folder-level screening can aggregate structured answers across multiple jobs, which is useful when several roles share the same evaluation criteria.
