When organizational changes take place, it can seem like a lot of manual work to make sure that your systems reflect the changes that are happening.

We have written this guide on reorganizing your departments in Teamtailor, so you can continue to recruit efficiently with your new department structure.

The creation and deletion of departments can only be performed by a Company admin. Reach out to your Company admin if you need to restructure your departments in Teamtailor.

Steps for reorganizing departments

Before reorganizing your departments, you need to decide which department structure you need in Teamtailor, and confirm this before continuing with the next steps. This can also be discussed with your Customer Success Manager or our Support team if you need best practices or suggestions.

After deciding on your new department structure, filter in the Candidates tab and tag the candidates with the "old" department name for all departments.

When the tagging is complete, the old departments can now be deleted via your platform settings.

After deleting the old departments, you can create the new departments with your new structure in the platform settings.

Now that the new departments have been created, you can go to the Candidates tab and filter on the tags you created with the old department names.

Once the tags have been filtered on, you can then bulk select and bulk move the candidates to the new departments.

This is the last step in the process, and your new departments will now be set up with the correct candidates assigned to them.
