With this new field, you can now view a person's job title on Runn's People Planner, making it easier for you to make resourcing decisions based on people's job titles and seniority.
Difference between Default Role and Job Title
When you create a person and set up their contract in Runn, there are two fields to input: Default Role and Job Title:
Default Role is the role that is chosen by default when you add a person to a project. It usually doesn't include the person's job banding.
Job Title is the person's Job Title in the organization's HR system. It usually denotes the person's job banding in the organization.
Here are some examples:
Default Role | Job Title |
UX Designer | UX Designer III |
Software Developer | Senior Software Developer I |
Cost to Business and Default Role/Job Title
The Cost to Business of the person is by default linked to the Default Role:
You can also input a custom cost-to-business if you do not wish to use the default role cost.
View Job Titles on the People Planner
Once the Job Title field is populated for the People, the admin user can choose whether to display the Job Title or Default Role on the People Planner for all users in the account:
Display by Job Title (with Job Banding - Data Analyst II):
The Job Title field is for display only. You cannot filter, search or group people by job title at the moment.
