How to Create a Vacancy, Manage Vacancy Groups, and Search for Vacancies

Last Updated:

Vacancies help you to manage candidates that are in your hiring process. These could be candidates that have applied for a role, or candidates that your team has sourced and qualified as interested.

Your company's use of vacancies will depend on your internal workflows, your use of an ATS, and whether your ATS is integrated with Beamery. Ensure that you are familiar with the best practices prescribed by your organization.

How to Create Vacancy Groups

You can also organize your vacancies by categorizing them under "Vacancy Groups" upon creation. This is particularly useful if you wish to view your vacancies by type (e.g. sales roles, marketing roles) or by a company or client that you are working with. 

Note: that only users with Super Admin, Sourcing Admin and Marketing Admin level permissions can create Vacancy Groups.

1. To create a vacancy group, navigate to Settings and click on "Vacancy Groups" located under "Customize Beamery". Then click on the "Add Vacancy Group" button at the top right of the screen.

2. Fill out the name of the Vacancy Group you wish to create. You may also add an optional description of that vacancy group. Once finished, click the "Create" button.

3. The Vacancy Group will now appear in your list when creating a new vacancy or editing a current one.

 


To search for a particular Vacancy, navigate to the Vacancies tab. The default view of this list is Vacancies that belong to you sorted by newest first.
