PeopleMatter: Administrators: How do I Add Job Categories?

Job Categories are not necessary for every customer, however, they could be utilized by organizations for the following scenarios:

• Job Categories can enhance job searching on a customer's Career Page,
• Job Categories can allow administrators to group open positions into custom categories specific to the company (i.e, Accounting, Human Resources, etc.), and
• Job Categories can be useful for Corporate Recruiting, where an applicant would search based on job type (i.e., Finance) instead of location. 

Speak to your Professional Services Consultant or PeopleMatter Support if you have questions regarding if using Job Categories benefits your organization's use of the PeopleMatter platform.
