Creating and publishing your first group

There are two mandatory sections (Group Essentials and Session Information) and one optional section (Pre-Screening Questionnaire) that you need to fill out in order to publish your group and start receiving applications.

Step 1: Create New Group Button

Click the “Create New Group” button located in the upper-right corner of your screen to start creating your group. This will open a modal where you’ll be prompted to enter a name for your group.

Step 3: Set Up your Availability

You can publish a group without setting your availability. However, if you’d like to offer 15-minute consultation sessions with applicants, you’ll need to set up your availability. This allows ChairCircles to display time slots that align with your schedule, and applicants can choose from the available options. Later on, if your plans change for a given day, you can easily delete or adjust your availability using the calendar view.

Step 2: Group Essentials

Group essentials consist of four key pieces of information: name, description, size of the group, and location. On this page, you can edit the group name, enter a brief description, specify the number of members in the group, and choose where you will hold your sessions. If you haven’t set up a location in your profile, no options will be available to pick on this page. You can refer to the Profile Setup guide to create a location.
