How to Request to Add a New Job Role Group

  • Updated

When creating a job, job roles are added to categorise your job, which helps surface it to the right candidates.

If the category you are looking for is not available, take the following steps to request that it be added.

Note: before submitting a request, read more About Job Roles (Employers). The article contains the mapping of job role groups, which is attached at the bottom of the page. Review the file and ensure that the job role group does not already exist.

 

1. From this page, click the message bubble icon in the lower-right corner to start a new ticket.
