Company Blocking/Off Limits

A Company block (also called Company Off Limits) is a means to flag a Company as a client where head-hunting of employees is taboo.

The first time a Company is blocked/off limits, the Blocked Until date will automatically be set according to the Block Expiration Limit - Client Company value that is defined in System Wide Settings via the Deskflow Administrator utility.

In a People search or a Binocular icon search, employees of Blocked/Off Limits companies are colour coded in red font on a yellow background.

The first time a new Project is created and the Company is not a Client and is not blocked/off limits, Deskflow will automatically assign a Block/Off Limits flag and a Blocked Until date (X months from the current date)

There are several blocking options available:

•Block/Off Limits the entire Company and all its employees

•Block/Off Limits a Company and all its related companies

•Block/Off Limits a Company based on All or Selected Locations and All or Selected Roles

Companies and their related Companies can be Blocked/Off Limits within the corporate hierarchy.

For instance, a Company subsidiary and all its children can be Blocked/Off Limits.

In the example below, ADP Services and its child company Abc Inc are Blocked/Off Limits, but the ultimate parent Hallmark is not Blocked/Off Limits.
