Changing a User's Departments

Departments control which records a user can see in Bullhorn. This article explains how to update the departments assigned to an existing user — for example, when someone moves teams or takes on a wider remit.

You can add or remove a user from any existing department. If you need a new department created or an existing department renamed, contact Bullhorn Support.

For more background on how departments work, see Departments in Bullhorn ATS

You'll need Admin-level access to complete these steps.
