Departments

A department is a team inside one of your companies, such as Engineering or Sales. When you post a job you can pick the department it belongs to, so job seekers see who they would work for. Departments are optional: you only need them if you want to show this.

Add a department

1. On the dashboard, click New Department, or click My Departments and then Add New Department.

2. Fill in the form:

   • Company: the company the department belongs to. Only your approved companies are listed.
   • Department Name: for example “Engineering”.
   • Description: what the team does.

   All three fields are required.

3. Click Save.

You return to My Departments with the message Department has been saved successfully.

My Departments

My Departments lists each department with its name, the date you created it and its status:

Status	Meaning
Approved	The department can be chosen on the job form.
Pending (with Waiting for approval)	The site checks new departments first. You can’t edit or use it yet.
Rejected	The administrator rejected it.

An approved department also shows its company (click it to open the company page) and three buttons:

Button	What it does
Edit	Opens the form to change the company, name or description.
View	Shows the department’s details.
Delete	Deletes the department.

A department that is used by any of your jobs can’t be deleted: you see Department could not be deleted. Change those jobs to another department, or delete them, first.

Using a department on a job

On the job form, choose the company first: the Department list then shows that company’s approved departments. See Posting a job.

For site owners

Whether new departments need approval is set in Configurations. Waiting departments are under Components → JS Jobs → Departments → Approval Queue.
