Once you have a job matching field configured and mapped in ChartHop, you can match jobs from your payroll system to the jobs you create in ChartHop. Just apply your payroll system's job code value to a custom job matching field when creating and editing jobs in ChartHop. When you have associated ChartHop open jobs with matching job codes from your payroll system, those open jobs are updated with any new hire information during your payroll sync.

To prevent data sync errors, ensure you associate each ChartHop job with the related job code value.

To match a ChartHop job to a new hire from your payroll system data:

1. From the left sidebar, select **Org Chart.**
2. In the **Org Chart**, create a new job by either:
   - Adding a direct report by selecting **Add a direct report** under a pre-existing person or role.
   - Creating a new job by selecting **New hire** under a pre-existing person or role.
3. In the **Create job** dialog, under the **Custom fields** tab, enter your job matching code.
4. Select **Save**

You can also set multiple job matching field code values on new jobs via a job data import by adding a column for the field in your CSV and setting the values.
