Adding a Department to a job posting

What is a Department?

A Department gives you another way to manage which users have access to jobs in your CareerPlug account.

For example, if you want hiring managers to only have access to certain jobs and applicants associated with a location (or locations), you can create a Department, add these hiring managers to the Department, and add the Department to a new (or existing) job.

How do I create a new Department?

1. Navigate to Settings (gear icon) > My Organization > Departments.

2. Click the plus (+) icon in the upper-left corner of the Departments page.

3. In the Create new department drawer, enter a Name for the Department.

4. Add users who you want to have access to this Department's jobs by starting to type their name in the Department managers field and selecting it when it appears in the drop-down menu. You can also click the empty field and select any available name directly from the drop-down menu.

5. Click the Create Department button.
