Before you start

  • A Truffle account. The 7-day free trial works: 30 credits, no credit card.
  • An active position to copy.

1Open the row menu

On Positions, under Active, choose ⋯ at the end of the position's row. The menu has Copy shareable link, Get candidates, Settings, Duplicate and Close position.

The row menu on an active Sales Development Representative position: Copy shareable link, Get candidates, Settings, Duplicate and Close position.

2Duplicate it

Choose Duplicate. Truffle confirms Position duplicated and Added to Drafts, and the list switches to Drafts. The copy has the same title as the original, reads Setup incomplete, and its timeline shows Draft with today's date. The original stays live and untouched.

The Drafts tab with one position, the Sales Development Representative copy, marked Setup incomplete and Draft, Oct 5.

3Open the copy

The copy is a draft, so its menu has Edit and Delete. Choose Edit.

The copy's row menu with Edit and Delete.

4Check Define the role

The wizard opens as Create position with a Draft pill, on Define the role. The title and description came across, and so did the role brief, here 1 of 3 answered. Change the title here if you want to tell the two positions apart.

Create position: Sales Development Representative with a Draft pill, on Define the role, with the copied title and description.

5Check Build position

On Build position, Truffle suggests the screen for the copy from its description, as it does for a new position. The switches may not match the original. Here the original ran a video interview and qualification checks, and the copy arrives with Resume, Video Interview and Assessments switched on.

Build the screen on the copy with Resume, Video Interview and Assessments switched on and marked Suggested.

6Set the switches you want

Switch each component on or off to match the screen you want. Here Resume and Assessments are off, and Video Interview and Qualification checks are on. The interview summary still reads 5 questions, the original's set.

Build the screen with Video Interview and Qualification checks on, Resume and Assessments off, and the interview summary On video, 5 questions, 30 s to think, 2 min to answer, 1 retake.

7Check the interview

In Configure screening, Interview holds the original's questions with the same Time to think, Time to answer and Retakes.

The copy's Video interview section: 5 questions, 12 min, Set, with 30 seconds to think, 2 minutes to answer and 1 retake, and the first copied question.

8Check the qualification checks

Open Qualification checks. If Truffle's suggestion on Build position had them switched off, the copied checks are cleared, and the section reads No checks yet. Choose Generate with AI or Create your own, then mark them Looks right.

Note. Look at this section on every copy before you activate it.

The copy's Qualification checks section with No checks yet, Needs you, and the choice of Generate with AI or Create your own.

9Review and activate the copy

On Review and activate, the candidate experience came across, including the welcome message. The copy stays a draft until you choose Activate position. Activating gives it its own link. Choose Save as draft to finish later.

The copy's Welcome message with the original's text: Thanks for applying to the Sales Development Representative role at Northwind.

Questions

What does a duplicate copy?

The title, description, role brief answers, interview questions with their response settings, and the candidate experience, including the welcome message. Check Build position and Qualification checks on the copy before you activate it.

What does a duplicate not copy?

Candidates, the link and the status. The copy starts as a draft with no candidates and gets its own link when you activate it.

Is the copy live straight away?

No. It lands in Drafts as Setup incomplete. Candidates cannot reach it until you choose Activate position.

Does the copy get a new name?

No. It keeps the original's title. Change it under Position title on Define the role.

Can I duplicate a closed or archived position?

Duplicate is in the menu of active positions. Closed and archived positions offer other actions.

We built an entire hiring metaphor to avoid saying “wait, don’t go.” Which is ironic because Truffle helps you get to the point with your candidate pool.
