Department

A department represents a division or service in the company where a future employee will work.

A department is the lowest level of an organizational unit. An example of a department could be a documentation department where technical writers, translators and editors are working.

Departments are available in:

• Recruiting Administration menu, under Department List, where system administrators create and edit departments.

• SmartOrg Administration menu, under User Accounts, when system administrators create a user account.

• Recruiting Center when recruiters create a requisition.

Departments can be imported from a Human Resource Management System (HRMS) in Recruiting using the integration service or they can be manually created by system administrators. Departments can also be exported, deleted, and recovered via integration service.

Departments can be linked to organizations and locations.

When creating a department, system administrators can define default approvers for requisitions and offers. Specified approvers will be selected automatically when users are requesting the approval of a requisition or an offer.

The autofill functionality is available for departments provided the system administrator has activated the proper setting. Therefore, when users select a department when creating a requisition, the department-related fields will automatically be filled.
