Departments split one organization into groups, such as Engineering and Sales. Recruiters in a department see only that department’s job openings, candidates and requisitions, plus anything org-wide.

​
Create a Department

1

Open Departments

Go to Account > Organization > Departments and click New department.
2

Name the department

Enter a name and, optionally, a description, then save.
3

Add members

Click Manage on the department, then Add a member and pick a recruiter. Set each person’s role to Department admin or Member.

You can also put new people straight into a department when you invite them.

​
Who Sees What

A Department admin can also invite people into their department and manage its members. When someone opens a job opening, application or requisition from another department, Equip shows which department it belongs to and offers Ask for access. The Job Openings dashboard has a Department filter, and an opening created from a job requisition takes the requisition’s department.
Until you create your first department, nothing changes: everyone sees everything and no department fields appear.

​
Delete a Department

Click the bin icon on the department’s row. Its members stay in your organization, and its job openings and requisitions become org-wide.
After you delete a department, its openings and candidates become visible to every recruiter.
