Understand departments and job organization

Departments group jobs under labels such as Engineering, Sales, or Operations. Use consistent department names across your team.

Choose a department for a job

Use the department field offered in the job’s details. In a workspace with child companies, check that the department belongs to the intended company.

An administrator can manage department names, descriptions, company associations, and a default department from Settings → Recruitment Setup → Departments. See the setup guide below for the steps.

Department settings and routing

Departments organize jobs. Manage recruiter access through user roles and job assignments, candidate movement through hiring pipelines, and sign-off through job approvals.

Keep the labels useful

Choose names your team recognizes and review the existing list before adding another department. Use job location and other dedicated fields for details that should remain separate from the department.

Before renaming or removing a department, check the jobs that use it and agree on the intended replacement with the people managing those jobs.
