⭕ How to create a Team, Brand, Branch or Division?

You can configure Vincere to match your company's structure. Brands, divisions and teams - we’ve got all your business units covered.

  • Most companies use the groups for the segmentation of their Intelligence Suite. This allows companies to filter their dashboards by Brand, Branch, Division, or Team.

⭕ What does the feature mean to me?

The feature also allows larger recruiting companies to manage all of their teams in one system, and all of their reports are centralized in ONE place.

Inside the ATS/CRM views users can filter by team and division e.g. their teams/division's jobs; if they're a team manager they can filter the table views by their team's jobs, team candidates, etc. This is a mini real-time report, which is unique to Vincere.

  • Groups can be found inside Settings > Groups, Tags & Locations.

1. Brand

This is the main group for all your users, this is where you will be able to control the TAGS that they can use for grouping / profiling your profiles in the system.

  • (Industries, Sub-industries, Functional expertise, and Sub-functional expertise).

All new industries & functional expertise you create should be added to this group as well, so that users may be able to access them.
