Adding a department to your account enables further functions in the hiring process. For instance, you can:

• Assign certain responsibilities (i.e. job offer) to a particular department (i.e. HR). This is useful when viewing a candidate’s Recruitment Monitor (located in the Candidate’s File).
• Control other Account Contacts’ access to the Candidate’s File, that is, depending on their User Type, an Account Contact may only view details relevant to their department, as described within the Account Contact profile.
