Recruiting: Bulk Actions - Assign Users to Jobs in Bulk

How to assign users to jobs in bulk.

You can now assign your users to jobs by leveraging our bulk actions in Recruiting. These tools allow Admins to modify user job assignments much quicker than previously possible in the system. 

How does it help?

  • Quickly Assign Users to Jobs: Previously you had to go to each relevant job record and assign your users to the job. That process has been streamlined so that you can complete these actions for a user on all of your relevant jobs at once.
  • Easily Replace a User on Jobs: You can quickly identify the jobs a user is currently assigned to and replace them with another user on all of those jobs at once.
  • Modify a User's Role on Jobs: This allows you to quickly move a user from one role (e.g. Team Member) to another (e.g., Hiring Manager) on all of their assigned jobs.

Who can use this feature?
Admins on your company account can assign users to jobs in bulk.

Usage Guide

You see the list of jobs that your user is currently assigned to. You can click on the Bulk Actions button to begin making updates to your user's job assignments.
