Working with departments and roles is a great way to organize your entire Teamtailor account. This applies to both the recruiters working in Teamtailor and the candidates applying for the positions. 

Add a new department

Get started by heading over to Settings → Company → Organization. Set up a new department by clicking + New department in the top corner.

Enter the department name and assign a Department manager. This person will be the face of the department in terms of communication with connected candidates. This includes:

  • Alias for the welcome message displayed on the Connect dashboard for candidates connected to this department

  • Contact person in job subscription emails sent to candidates, linked to this department.

Add a new role

When creating or editing a department, you can immediately add roles within the department settings by clicking + New role.

Alternatively, you can view all roles and add new ones by opening the Roles tab within the Organisation settings. In the next step, enter the role name and assign it to an existing department to finalize the new role.

When creating a job, you’ll be able to assign a department and role to the position. The roles you’ve added here will appear as options.

Additionally, roles can serve as filters for the jobs listed on your career site and when candidates connect with your company. You can read more about Connect here.
