Nexus is a recruiting workspace within Allsorter. It brings together the companies you recruit for, the jobs you are hiring for, and the candidates and chats connected to each job, all in one place. This article explains how to set up your Nexus workspace by adding a company and creating your first job. The Nexus Dashboard gives you an overview of your recruiting activity, including your companies, active jobs, candidates, active chats, and a pipeline showing how many jobs are at each stage (Open, Sourcing, Shortlisting, Interviewing, Closed). Setting up your workspace in Nexus involves two main steps: 1. Create a company to represent the client or employer you are hiring for. 2. Create a job within that company to start sourcing candidates. ![Step-1](https://help-center.allsorter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Step-1.png?width=670&height=347&name=Step-1.png)   ### **Understanding Companies and Jobs in Nexus** Before creating anything in Nexus, it is useful to understand these two building blocks. #### What is a company? A company in Nexus represents the employer you are hiring for. This could be a client you recruit on behalf of, or your own organization. #### What is a job? A job represents a specific role you are hiring for within a company. Each job has its own candidate pool, which is shared across every chat opened inside that job.   ### **How to Create a Company** 1. From the Nexus Dashboard, select **+ New company** in the top-right corner.![nexus-02-what-is-a-company-1](https://help-center.allsorter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nexus-02-what-is-a-company-1.png?width=644&height=337&name=nexus-02-what-is-a-company-1.png) 2. In the **Create a Company** window, complete the following fields: 1. **Company logo (optional):** Select the upload area to add a PNG, JPG, or SVG file. This logo is used on the dashboard, sidebar, and shared portals. If you do not upload a logo, Nexus generates a branded monogram from the company name and the brand colour you select. 2. **Company name (required):** This is the only field that must be completed to create a company. 3. **Industry (optional).** 4. **Location (optional).** 5. **Website (optional).** 6. **Brand colour:** Select one of the provided colour swatches. This colour is used in the generated monogram and on the company card.![nexus-03-create-a-company-form-1](https://help-center.allsorter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nexus-03-create-a-company-form-1.png?width=584&height=306&name=nexus-03-create-a-company-form-1.png) 3. A preview of the company card updates automatically as you complete the form. 4. Once you have entered at least a company name, select **Create company**. Company name is the only required field. All other fields can be added later.   The new company appears in the Companies section of your dashboard, with its own job and candidate counters. From here, you can add a job to the company directly from its company card, or by using the New job button described below.   ### **How to Create a Job** 1. From the Nexus Dashboard, select **+ New job**, or select **Add job** on a company card.![nexus-04-what-is-a-job-1](https://help-center.allsorter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nexus-04-what-is-a-job-1.png?width=644&height=337&name=nexus-04-what-is-a-job-1.png) 2. In the **Create a Job** window, complete the following fields: 1. **Company:** Select the company this job belongs to, from a drop-down list of the companies you have created. 2. **Job title:** For example, "Senior Product Manager." 3. **Job description:** Paste the role overview, responsibilities, requirements, and hiring context. Nexus uses this information to match candidates to the role. 4. **Additional notes (optional):** Add internal notes, screening guidance, or recruiter context. 5. **Status:** Defaults to Open. 6. **Location (optional):** For example, "Remote / Dublin."![nexus-05-create-a-job-form-1](https://help-center.allsorter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nexus-05-create-a-job-form-1.png?width=584&height=306&name=nexus-05-create-a-job-form-1.png) 3. As the panel explains, the job gets its own candidate pool, which is shared across every chat you open inside it. 4. Once you have completed the required fields, select **Create job**. A confirmation message appears to show the job was created successfully, and the job now appears under its company on the dashboard. Nexus confirms that your job chat is ready to start sourcing candidates. To return to a job's candidates and chat at any time, select the job entry under its company card on the dashboard. ![nexus-06-open-job-chats-candidates-1](https://help-center.allsorter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/nexus-06-open-job-chats-candidates-1.png?width=670&height=351&name=nexus-06-open-job-chats-candidates-1.png)   ### **Frequently Asked Questions** **Do I need to add a company logo when creating a company?** No. Company logo is optional. If you do not upload one, Nexus automatically generates a branded monogram using the company name and the brand colour you select. **What is the only required field to create a company?** Company name. Industry, location, website, and logo are all optional and can be added later. **What is the difference between a company and a job in Nexus?** A company represents the employer or client you are hiring for. A job represents a specific role within that company. Each job has its own candidate pool. **What happens to the job description I add?** Nexus uses the job description, along with any additional notes, to match candidates to the role. **Where do I go to see a job's candidates and chat again later?** Open the company card on the Nexus Dashboard and select the job listed underneath it. - [Getting Started](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/getting-started) - [Full Reformat](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/full-reformat) - [Preserve Original](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/preserve-original) - [AI Productivity Suite](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/ai-productivity-suite) - [Bullhorn](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/bullhorn) - [JobAdder](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/jobadder) - [Account Management](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/account-management) - [FAQs](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/faqs) - [Common Issues](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/common-issues) - [Vincere](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/vincere) - [Salesforce](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/salesforce) - [Template Creation](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/template-creation) - [Tracker](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/tracker) - [Mercury](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/mercury) - [Allsorter Nexus](https://help-center.allsorter.com/helpcentre/allsorter-nexus) [![Allsorter Logo](https://help-center.allsorter.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Group%202518.png?width=23&height=24&name=Group%202518.png "Allsorter Logo")](http://www.allsorter.com) [Click here for more support](https://share.hsforms.com/1pnxC_TwXScmG3dukP6drrQ32qdi) Copyright © 2025, Allsorter.com
