Departments
Create a department for each organisational unit in your company. Each department has a name, manager, and parent department (for hierarchical structures). Department trees appear in the org chart and headcount reports. Assign employees to departments on their employee record.

Job Positions
Job positions define the roles in your company — separate from the individual employees who hold them. Each position has a title, department, expected number of employees, and hiring status. When a position has fewer employees than expected, it appears in recruitment as an open role.
Job position vs job title
Job Position is a structured role in your org chart (e.g. "Accountant") linked to a department. Job Title is a freeform display label on the employee record (e.g. "Senior Accountant, Group Finance"). Use positions for structure and reporting, titles for personalised display.
