Job Details: Title, Department, Office, Employment Type

The job details section holds the core information that describes a role — what it's called, where it sits in the organization, where it's located, and what type of position it is. These details appear on the jobs list, in reports, and on your career portal.

You can set these when creating a job or update them any time from Job → Settings → Job Info.

Job Title

The job title is the name of the role. It appears on the jobs list, the career page, and all candidate-facing communications.

Best practices:

• Use a clear, descriptive title that candidates will recognize (e.g., "Senior Software Engineer" rather than "SSE L4")

• If hiring for the same role in multiple locations, differentiate in the title (e.g., "Senior Software Engineer – Singapore")

• The title can be different from the internal job post title shown on the career page

Department

Department organizes the job within your company structure. It is used for:

• Filtering and grouping jobs on the jobs list

• Reporting and analytics (e.g., pipeline breakdown by department)

• Career portal filtering — candidates can browse jobs by department

• Requisition approval workflows (approvals can be routed by department)

• HRIS field mapping (department and sub-departments up to 3 levels can be mapped to BambooHR and other systems)

Departments are managed in Settings → Departments. If your required department doesn't exist, an admin can add it there first.

Office / Location

The office field indicates where the role is based. Kula supports Google Maps-powered office creation, so each office is tied to a precise, validated location.

Office is used for:

• Career portal filtering — candidates can search jobs by location

• Reporting — filter pipeline data by office

• HRIS mapping — office name and office location are available as separate mapping fields

• Requisition approvals — approval rules can be configured by office

Multiple offices can be assigned to a single job (e.g., a role open across two locations). When mapping to an HRIS, the first office value is used.

Offices are managed in Settings → Offices.

Work Type / Employment Type

Work type defines the nature of the employment. Common options include:

Work type appears on the career portal alongside the job and is used in filters. It is also a field in requisition approvals and HRIS mapping.

The Workplace field (Remote / On-site / Hybrid) is a separate setting found in the job post configuration, visible to candidates on the career page.

FAQs

Q: Can I change the job title after the job is open? Yes. You can update the job title at any time from Settings → Job Info. The change will be reflected on the career portal.

Q: What if my department or office doesn't exist in Kula? Ask your admin to add it in Settings → Departments or Settings → Offices before creating the job.

Q: Does the job title on the career page have to match the internal job title? No. You can set a separate public-facing title in the Job Post settings. The internal title and the career page title can differ.

Q: Can a job be assigned to multiple departments? No. Each job is assigned to one department. If a role spans multiple teams, choose the primary department.
