What slows down a Paraform role?
Three admin tasks repeat on every role: copying the spec into your own tools, working out who you already know that fits, and writing an answer to each of the role’s questions for every candidate you submit. HireUp takes on all three, as the sections below show.
How do I get the role into my own tools?
Send to HireUp on the Paraform role page opens Add job in HireUp with the title, company and role text filled in. HireUp pulls out the requirements, traits to avoid, salary, work location and modality, visa sponsorship and the role’s screening questions. Check what it found and edit anything that’s wrong, save, then Approve & start workflow.
How do I find who I already know that fits?
The Warm network step searches the contacts you already know in HireUp, anyone tagged Recall, and ranks them against the role’s requirements. Each card shows how the candidate fits, and you select a few and send each a short, personal note. Audience, the step before it, is for reaching new people beyond your network. The full steps are in how to start a new role from your database.
How do I handle each role’s screening questions?
When the role’s text includes its questions, HireUp picks them up from Paraform and they appear on the workflow page. You can also add or edit them yourself under Criteria on the Audience step. Pick a candidate and HireUp drafts an answer to each one from their resume, profile and recent conversations, including call and meeting transcripts from Google Meet, Zoom and Teams. Where it doesn’t have enough, it says so rather than guessing. You check the answers, copy them and paste them into your submission. The guide to working a Paraform role has the click-by-click steps.
How does this work in practice?
I pull the role from Paraform, review and approve the HireUp workflow automation, then let it run in the background. When a candidate comes back, I submit them for that role, and the role’s questions are already there to answer.

FAQ
Does HireUp submit candidates to Paraform for me?
No. HireUp drafts the answers, and you copy them into your submission on Paraform yourself.
Where do the screening answers come from?
From what HireUp already has on the candidate: their resume or summary, profile facts and recent conversations, including call and meeting transcripts from Google Meet, Zoom and Teams. If that doesn’t cover a question, HireUp says “Not enough information to answer this question.”
Which plans include this?
Workflow is on Professional and Scale, and the two-week trial. The Free and Essential plans don’t include Workflow.
