STEP 01
2 min
Visit the Yocker landing page
Open yocker.in in your browser. You'll see a quick overview of what Yocker does and two main calls to action — Start free and Browse open roles.
The Yocker landing page. Click Get started in the top-right or Start free in the hero to begin.
What you're looking at
- Hero headline — the core value proposition: AI-powered screening, not spreadsheets
- Match Score example — a sample candidate scored 92/100 by Yocker's AI
- Pipeline preview — what your kanban board will look like once you're hiring
Good to know: Yocker is free to start — no credit card required. The Starter plan is free forever and includes 2 active jobs, AI scoring, and a branded careers page.
STEP 02
3 min
Create your HR account
Click Get started or Start free. You'll land on the signup page — a clean split-view with the form on the right.
The signup page. Pick Recruiter / HR, enter your company name, and set a password.
Filling out the form
- I am a → select Recruiter / HR (the right card)
- Company name → your organisation's name. A workspace is created with you as owner.
- Full name, Email, Password → standard signup fields
- Click Create account
Tip: Use your work email, not a personal one. Teammates you invite later will see it as the workspace owner's address.
Note on verification: If email verification is required for your account, check your inbox (and spam folder) for a verification link from yocker.in. Click it before signing in.
STEP 03
1 min
Your first dashboard view
Once you sign up, you're taken to your HR dashboard. Initially, it's empty — no jobs, no candidates, just a sidebar and a friendly nudge to post your first role.
The empty HR dashboard. The sidebar on the left is where you'll navigate Yocker from now on.
Understanding the sidebar
- Jobs — your active and closed job postings (this is your "home")
- Team — manage teammates and their roles
- Company — your company profile, logo, default currency
- Billing — your plan, usage, upgrade options
- + New opening — the big primary button at the bottom of the sidebar to post a job
STEP 04
5 min
Post your first job
Click + New opening in the sidebar. You'll get a structured form where you describe the role.
The "Post a new job" form. Fill in what you need — only Title and Description are required.
Recommended fields to fill
- Title (required) — e.g. "Senior Backend Engineer", "Sales Intern"
- Description (required) — what the role involves, who you're looking for
- Required skills — comma-separated (e.g. python, postgresql, aws). These are weighted highest in AI scoring.
- Preferred skills — nice-to-haves. Weighted lower than required skills.
- Location, employment type, salary range — show on the public careers page
- Application limit — defaults to 100. Auto-pauses applications when reached.
How AI scoring uses these fields: Required skills count for 70 of the 100 points. Experience (compared against your minimum) counts for 20. Education counts for 10. The more accurately you fill in the role, the better Yocker scores incoming candidates.
STEP 05
1 min
See your job go live
After you save the job, your dashboard shows it in the list. Each job card has quick actions — view applicants, edit, and a config menu.
Your first job is live. Click Applicants to see who has applied.
What each button does
- Applicants — opens the hiring pipeline (kanban view) for this job
- Edit — change job details, status, skills, salary, etc.
- Config — set up screening questions, customise pipeline stages
STEP 06
2 min
Share your branded careers page
Yocker automatically creates a public careers page for your company — your logo, your URL, your roles. No designer needed.
Your branded careers page at yocker.in/c/<your-slug>. Share this link with candidates.
How to share it
- Find the careers page URL in your Company settings (or by clicking Public site in the sidebar)
- Share the link on LinkedIn, X / Twitter, your company website, WhatsApp, email signatures
- Anyone with the link can browse your open roles and apply — no Yocker account required
Tip: The careers page automatically updates when you post new jobs or close old ones. There's nothing extra to maintain.
STEP 07
5 min
Manage your hiring pipeline
When candidates apply, they land in your pipeline. The default view is a kanban board with five stages: Review, Screen, Phone Screen, Interview, Offer, plus Hired and Rejected.
The kanban pipeline. Each card is a candidate, with an AI match score in the top-right corner.
What each candidate card shows
- Initial avatar — gradient circle with the first letter of their name
- AI match score — 0–100, colour-coded (green = strong fit, amber = mid, grey = weak)
- Name, email, reference number (e.g. YK-2026-0042)
- AI summary — a short auto-generated summary of why they match (or don't)
- Assigned interviewer — visible at the bottom of the card
How to move candidates
- Click any card to open the detail panel on the right
- Move them between stages using the stage dropdown or kanban drag
- Moving someone to a rejection stage requires a reason (audit trail)
- Move to Hired to mark a successful hire — they're locked in
Bulk actions
- Select multiple candidates with the checkboxes
- Bulk-move to a stage, bulk-reject with a reason, or export selected candidates to a branded PDF report
Search and filter: Use the search box at the top to find candidates by name, email, or skills. Filters let you narrow by stage, minimum AI score, or include withdrawn candidates.
STEP 08
2 min
Download candidate reports
Need to share a shortlist with a hiring manager who isn't on Yocker, or hand off a candidate list to a partner? Yocker generates a branded PDF report on demand — straight from the pipeline view.
Built-in Branded PDF candidate report
Landscape A4 layout · Your company name and logo at the top · One row per candidate · Up to 200 candidates per report.
What's in the PDF
Each candidate row contains exactly the information your hiring manager needs to make a quick call — no clutter, no extra data:
- Full name — as entered in their application
- Email address — primary contact
- Phone number — with country code (e.g. +91 98765 43210)
- Location — city and country if provided
- Latest work experience — role + company, with "+N more" if they have additional history
How to generate a report
- Open the Applicants view for a job
- Use the checkboxes on each candidate card to select the ones you want (or click Select all visible in the bulk action bar)
- The bulk action bar appears at the bottom of the screen
- Click Export PDF
- The PDF downloads to your browser — open it, share it, or print it
Tip: The report is generated in real-time and reflects the candidates you've selected at that moment. Generate fresh reports as your shortlist changes.
Privacy & tenant safety: Only candidates belonging to your company appear in the report — Yocker silently filters out any IDs you don't have access to. The PDF is generated server-side using your branded layout and streamed directly to your browser, never stored on disk.
Coming soon: CSV / Excel export for spreadsheet-loving teams, and per-candidate detailed reports with full work history and AI score breakdown.
STEP 09
3 min
Set up your company profile
Go to Company in the sidebar to add your logo, company description, and default settings.
The Company profile page. Your logo and "About" text appear on your branded careers page.
Fields to fill
- Logo — PNG, JPG, SVG, or WEBP, max 2MB. Automatically resized for performance.
- Industry, Size, Location — appear on the public careers page and in candidate-facing emails
- Default salary currency — INR (₹) by default for India. Switch to USD, EUR, AED, SGD anytime.
- Website — your main company site, shown alongside your careers page
- About the company — a short pitch that helps candidates decide if they want to apply
Tip: A complete company profile (logo + about text) measurably improves application quality — candidates spend more time reading roles when the profile feels professional.
STEP 10
3 min
Invite your hiring team
Yocker bills per company, not per recruiter — invite the whole hiring team at no extra cost. Go to Team in the sidebar.
The Team page. Add teammates by email, pick a role, and they receive an invite link.
The four roles
- Owner — full control: jobs, candidates, billing, team. There can be multiple owners.
- Recruiter — can post jobs, manage candidates, move them through stages.
- Hiring manager — can review and act on candidates, but cannot post or delete jobs.
- Interviewer — read-only on candidates assigned to them. Cannot change stages or assign others.
How invites work
- Enter the teammate's email, pick a role, click Send invite
- They receive an email with a one-click invite link
- The invite expires after 7 days — you can cancel or resend anytime
- They sign up, accept the invite, and land in your workspace
Per-company pricing: Every plan includes a fixed number of teammates (Starter = 3, Growth = 10, Pro = unlimited). No per-seat add-on fees.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is the AI match score calculated?
Skills (out of 70) + Experience (out of 20) + Education (out of 10). Skills score is the percentage of required skills found in the resume. Experience compares the candidate's years against the job's minimum. Education scores 10 if any degree is detected. The scoring runs the moment a candidate applies.
Do candidates see their AI score?
No, by design. AI fields are stripped server-side from any candidate-facing response. Only your hiring team sees the score and breakdown. This is the standard practice across enterprise ATS platforms.
Where is my data stored? Is it secure?
Your data is stored on managed cloud infrastructure with tenant isolation enforced at the database query layer — one company can never see another company's data. Passwords use bcrypt, sessions use signed JWTs, and we have automated tests verifying cross-tenant isolation. Daily off-site backups are included on Pro and Enterprise plans.
Does Yocker send my candidate data to OpenAI, Anthropic, or other LLMs?
No. Resume parsing and AI scoring run inside Yocker's own tenant — your candidate data never leaves to a third-party LLM. This is a deliberate privacy-by-design choice.
Can I export my candidates?
Yes. From the pipeline view, select candidates and click Export PDF for a branded landscape A4 report with name, email, phone, location, and work experience for each. Excel/CSV export and full data export are on the roadmap. See Step 08 for the full walkthrough.
What happens to applications if I close a job?
When you close a job, all active applications for that role are archived (hidden from the pipeline). You have 30 days to reopen the position and restore them. After 30 days, archived applications are permanently deleted in compliance with data minimisation best practices.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There's no contract or commitment. Downgrade to Starter (free) at any time from the Billing page. Your data stays intact; you just lose access to paid features and your active job count is capped to the new plan's limit.
