You can add new jobs in ChartHop as direct reports, clone them from existing jobs, or create them as open jobs. Unlike when you perform [headcount planning](https://docs.charthop.com/headcount-planning) with a scenario, all jobs are created immediately.  

### Add a direct report from the Org Chart

You can add a new direct report for a person or an open job directly from the **Org Chart**. Doing so creates a new open job that reports to the person or job you selected.

To add a new direct report:

1. From the left sidebar, select **Org Chart**. 
2. On the **Org Chart**, select the person or open job for whom you want to create a new direct report.
3. In the Profile Summary, from the menu next to **Edit job**, select **Add direct report**.
4. In the** Create job **dialog, add job information to the appropriate sections:
   - **Structure** - General information including title, department, and location.
   - **Compensation** - Compensation information including salary and bonus.
   - **Recruiting** - Recruiting information including hiring status and target start date.
   - **Description** - A general description about the role.
   - **Custom fields** - Any custom data added by your organization.[ Learn more.](https://docs.charthop.com/custom-fields)
5. Select **Save to Primary**. A new open job appears below the person or open role on the **Org Chart**.

- You can also add a new direct report from the **Data Sheet**. To do this, in the row menu (⋮) on the left side of the row for the person to add a direct report for, select **Add direct report**. 

- If you do not see a new job, it may be listed in the future. Double-check the Start Date and use the timeline slider at the top of the page to move the **Org Chart** to the appropriate date.

### Clone a job from the Org Chart

You can create a new job on the **Org Chart** by cloning an existing job. This is helpful when you don't need to make extensive changes to the job details.
