Organize your job families

Job families group your jobs into broad categories, such as occupations, practices, or specialties. They’re the level that segments your dashboards. Hirify suggests them and you correct them.

​

How the taxonomy is built

Hirify looks at the jobs synced from your ATS and derives a list of families from them. Two conditions apply:

• At least twenty jobs must be synced for the taxonomy to be generated.
• Each job is then assigned to a family, or left aside until the next pass.

Before that threshold, the page says: “The taxonomy is generated automatically once enough jobs have been synced (at least 20).” Without a connected ATS, it shows “Connect your ATS to enable job families.”

​

Read the page

Open Settings, then Job families. Every member can view the page. Only an administrator or a billing admin can change it. The Families section lists each family, its description when it has one, and its number of Jobs. Below the table, a summary line gives the totals: how many jobs overall, how many in Autre, and how many unclassified. Autre (other) is the fallback family. It groups the jobs that don’t fit any named category. A growing Autre count is the sign that a family is missing.

​

Add a family

A taxonomy holds sixteen families at most. Beyond that, Hirify refuses the addition and tells you so.

​

Rename or merge

The pencil at the end of the row opens Rename. The family’s jobs follow the new name.

​

Delete a family

The trash icon opens a confirmation that tells you what will happen: the family’s jobs “go back to automatic classification”. They aren’t lost. They can be assigned to another family again. A taxonomy must keep at least two families. The last two can’t be deleted.

​

Fix a job

When a job is filed in the wrong family, the Fix a job section puts it back in place. A manual correction sticks. Automatic classification won’t change it again. To hand a job back to Hirify, choose Automatic (to be classified) again.

​

Good to know

• The page stays empty without a connected ATS. Families apply to the jobs that come from it.
• Changing the taxonomy changes nothing in your ATS. It lives in Hirify and serves your dashboards.
• Adding or deleting a family triggers a reclassification of the jobs involved, which isn’t instant. The counters settle after the pass.
• Unclassified jobs aren’t errors. They’re waiting for the next classification pass.
• Two families minimum, sixteen maximum. A name that’s already taken is refused. Use renaming to merge.
• A manual correction doesn’t carry over to other jobs with a similar title. It only applies to the job you corrected.
