If you read this article, you probably face one of the following situations:
- You created a job in the backend, and now want to assign it to a specific/different organisation.
- A client maintains multiple company profiles and now wants to move an existing job from one organisation (e.g. agency) to the other (e.g. client company).
Assigning a job
In either case, you can easily assign the job to an(other) organisation. To do so, follow these steps:
- Go to the “Jobs” overview page (Path: “Jobs” > “Manage Jobs”) in the backend and select the jobs you wish to assign to an organisation.
- Select the action "Reassign to other organisation".
- Click "Apply to selected items".
- Now select the organisation and click "Reassign".
Note that a job should not be assigned to more than one organisation. If the job was previously assigned to another organisation, the association of the previous organisation is automatically cancelled when you follow the above-mentioned steps.
This action has multiple implications:
- The new organisation has the ability to edit or delete the job under "Manage Jobs". If the job has been reassigned, the previous organisation loses its ability to manage the job.
- Published jobs that are assigned to an organisation with a published company profile link to the company profile in the job search. Furthermore, the assigned jobs are also visible on the company profile. In case the job has been reassigned, the company profile of the previous organisation is not connected to the job any longer.
- Important: reassigning the job to another organization does not have an impact on the author. Emails regarding the job (publishing / unpublishing) will still be sent to the original author of the job.
Changing the author of a job
Changing the assigned organisation is not equal to changing the authoring information. The authoring information suggests which user created the job, while the job assignment information tells you which organisation a job is assigned to (Note: a job is always assigned to an organisation and not a specific user). In many cases, the author is a site admin user.
The author of a job also regularly receives update emails on the job (e.g. job has been published, job has been unpublished, job expires soon), unless they were disabled.
Please note that the authoring information is not revealed on the frontend. The author of the employer does not see the job in the frontend under "Manage Jobs" unless the job has also been assigned to the organisation.
Also, note that the authoring information can't be changed by employers.
If you wish to change the authoring information, please follow the instructions below:
- Go to the “Jobs” overview page (Path: “Jobs” > “Manage Jobs”) in the backend and select a job.
- Click "Edit" and open the backend job edit.
- Scroll down to the end of the right menu bar and open the “Authoring information” section
- Insert the username in the field “Authored by”.
- Make sure to save the job.
