Create Job Functions

In the Job Functions tab of Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments, you can create values that are used to broadly describe the purpose of a job, such as Administrative or Customer Service. Creating job functions is useful for tracking and reporting on jobs.

Note: Configuring one or more job functions is required if your organization uses, or plans to use, the eQuest external job board integration for Recruiting.

To create a job function:

  1. Go to Org Setup > Jobs and Job Assignments and click the Job Functions tab.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Enter a name and, optionally, a description in the corresponding fields.
  4. Enter a value in the Reference Code field. Reference codes are used to export data to other applications. These codes must be unique and must not contain special characters.
  5. Click Save.
