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.

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