Creating Parent-Child Company Relationships

Parent-child company relationships let you link related companies in a hierarchy — the parent company owns, and each child company is a subsidiary. For example, Gap, Inc. could be the parent company, with Banana Republic and Old Navy set up as its child companies.

This hierarchy also creates a rollup, giving you visibility into activity at the parent level, each child level, and across the whole organization.

Notes:

  • The Divisions displayed in the rollup pull from the Department field on the associated contact records.

  • You must initiate all parent-child relationships from the child company.

Link Parent and Child Companies

  1. On the company record to designate as the child, click the Edit tab.

  2. In the Parent Company field, enter the name of the parent company.

    • If you need to add the parent company to Bullhorn, create the new parent first and add then add it to the Parent Company field in the child company.

  3. Click Save.

View Parent and Child Company Relationships

On the parent company record, from the Actions drop-down, select View Parent Rollup.

If you have a contact who works for a parent company but who is also the point of contact for jobs at its subsidiary companies, Bullhorn recommends adding a separate contact record for the person for each applicable company record.
