How to: Update roles

This guide shares the steps to update your roles in Karat using  your ATS integration. This content is intended for all.

The Update roles feature  allows you to customize the Karat assessment role for a job position. In Karat, a "role" refers to a job position or title for which interviews are conducted. It is associated with specific assessments, questions, and alignment bars that help in evaluating candidates during the Karat interview process. The role defines what kind of interviews you want for an specific job.

 You can update the Karat assessment role details in Karat's platform and the changes will be automatically updated in your ATS. Roles are tied to contracts within organizations, ensuring that active roles are always associated with a current contract.

Note: Roles can be archived, and when this happens, candidacies attached to that role are effectively archived as well and won't be included in searches.
