This article applies to organization admins and third-party users in the PI2 platform.
Looking for an easy way to organize jobs in Hire or restrict access to those jobs? You can do so by creating a job folder.
How do job folders work?
Job folders allow you to organize jobs according to different categories. For example: You could create dedicated folders for individual recruiters, or organize folders by job function (marketing jobs, engineering jobs, etc.).
Folders also help you manage job access. By giving employees access to certain folders, you allow them to view and edit any jobs associated with that folder.
Likewise, employees who don’t have access to a particular folder will not be able to view or edit jobs within that folder.
Note: Job folders only apply to jobs in PI Hire. If your company isn't subscribed to Hire, you will not see this functionality.
How to create a new job folder
Log in to the PI software.
Click the gear icon (
) in the top-right of the navigation bar.
You will land on the People tab within Administration.
Select the Job Folders tab.
Click “Add a folder.”
Enter the folder name.
(Optional) Select a parent folder in which to nest this folder.
(Optional) Click “Add another folder” for additional new folders.
Confirm by clicking “Save changes.”
Your folders will populate in alphabetical order.
Note: Job folders only apply to jobs in PI Hire. If your company isn't subscribed to Hire, you will not see this functionality.
Viewing folder contents
At any time, you can click on a folder name to view its contents.
Here, you will see a list of all jobs associated with this folder.
Click on a job title, and you will be brought to the relevant job page in Hire.
How to grant folder access
You can grant folder access from 2 different places. Follow the instructions that best align with your current needs:
The Job Folders tab (suggested if you want to make 1 folder accessible to multiple employees at once)
The People tab (suggested if you want to grant 1 employee access to multiple folders at once)
From the Job Folders tab in Administration:
Click the ellipsis icon (
) next to the job folder whose access you’d like to edit.
Select “Edit folder access” from the available options.
Add the name or email of any employee(s) you’d like to grant folder access to.
Confirm by clicking “Save changes.”
From the People tab in Administration:
Select Employee Access Settings on the left-hand side.
Search for the person whose folder access you’d like to edit.
Click on the person's name.
You will land on a page titled “Edit employee details.”
Scroll down until you see an option titled “Folder Job access.”
Click to expand this setting.
Select the job folder(s) you’d like to give this employee access to.
Confirm by clicking “Save changes” at the bottom of the page.
Note: By default, admins have access to all jobs in Hire. For this reason, you will only see the “Folder Job access” setting for Hire limited users.
How to remove folder access
From the Job Folders tab within Administration:
Click the ellipsis icon (
) next to the folder whose access you’d like to edit.
Select “Edit folder access” from the available options.
Select “Remove” next to any employee(s) with existing access you’d like to revoke.
Confirm by clicking “Save changes.”
Note: If a person has “inherited” access from a parent folder, you must remove their access from that parent folder to remove their access here.
