Linking Contacts/Managers

One or more contacts can be linked together in order to view consolidated Notes and General Activities. This is common when a contact moves from one hiring company to another, or if a hiring manager moves from one department to another. The recruiting system needs to keep the job orders and submittal information tied to a specific client, but commonly the notes and activities from past relationships is helpful to the recruiting or sales process.

Distributive Linking

Remember that Algebra from middle school that you would never use, well here it is, but in much simpler terms.

If Contact A is linked to Contact B, represented by

And Contact B is linked to Contact C, represented by

Then Contact A must be linked to contact C, represented by

Distributive Unlinking

Using the same logic as above, if

and, A is unlinked from B, then A will not be linked to any other contact, and the remaining link is

Linking Groups of Linked Contacts

To take our logic a bit further, if there are 2 groups or linked Contacts represented by

And you link B to Y, the following is true that if

Then

In summary, if you link an contact from a group of linked contacts to another contact in a group of linked contacts, then both groups becomes linked together to form 1 comprehensive group.
