Go to ConsolePeoplePositions and find the vacant position.
- Select Fill.
- Under Who holds it, type a name and choose the person.
- Set the date they start in it under From.
- Select Fill it.
To vacate a position, select the button beside its holder that ends their time in it. The position becomes vacant from today.
Good to Know
- A position has one holder at a time, and a person holds one position at a time. Filling a new one ends their time in the old one.
- Each move is a line in the person's job history.
- Their job title stays as it was until you change it.
- To fill a position from a future date, such as a promotion, use Change job on their HR record.
If Something Goes Wrong
- There's no Fill button. The position isn't vacant. It may be frozen or closed: edit it and set its Status to vacant.
- The person isn't offered. Only people who are active in the directory can hold a position.
