Executive Summary
If your organization operates multiple brands, DBAs, or subsidiaries, you may need to manage separate job postings, company profiles, and LinkedIn integrations for each. PyjamaHR currently supports multi-brand organizations by allowing you to create separate accounts (sometimes called "sub-accounts") for each brand, each with its own login, company details, and integrations. This article explains how to set up and manage multiple brands in PyjamaHR, avoid common pitfalls, and optimize your workflow for multi-brand hiring.
Detailed Overview
What Are Sub‑Accounts for Multi‑Brand Organizations?
In PyjamaHR, a "sub-account" refers to a separate PyjamaHR account created for each brand, DBA (Doing Business As), or subsidiary you operate. Each account is fully independent, with its own:
Company name and branding
Website URL
LinkedIn integration (for job posting)
User logins and permissions
Job postings and candidate pipelines
Why Use Separate Accounts?
- Brand-Specific Job Postings: Ensure each job is posted under the correct brand/company name and LinkedIn page.
- Compliance: Maintain legal and branding separation for DBAs or subsidiaries.
- Operational Clarity: Avoid confusion in reporting, candidate pipelines, and hiring workflows.
Key Limitation:
Currently, PyjamaHR does not support managing multiple brands or LinkedIn integrations within a single account. Each account can only be linked to one company and one LinkedIn page at a time.
When Should You Use Separate Accounts?
You have multiple brands, DBAs, or subsidiaries, each with its own website and/or LinkedIn company page.
You need job postings to appear under different company names or LinkedIn pages.
You want to keep candidate pipelines, reporting, and user access separate for each brand.
Integration with Other PyjamaHR Features
LinkedIn Integration: Each account can connect to a single LinkedIn company page for job distribution.
Company Branding: Each account manages its own logo, company details, and job ad branding.
User Management: Invite different team members to each account as needed.

Prerequisites

Pathway 2: Using Subdomains for Subsidiaries
If your subsidiary uses a subdomain (e.g., careers.subsidiary.yourcompany.com), you can still create a separate PyjamaHR account for it, as long as it has a unique website URL and (ideally) a unique email domain.
Pathway 3: Rebranding or Changing DBA Name
Update Company Information
- Go to Profile > Company Information.
- Edit the company name, logo, and website as needed.

Advanced Usage & Best Practices
Power User Tips
Separate Logins: Always use separate logins for each brand to avoid account flagging due to simultaneous logins from different locations.
Consistent Naming: Use clear, brand-specific naming conventions for accounts and job postings.
Centralized Oversight: If you need oversight across brands, use a shared admin email or set up cross-account notifications.
Do’s and Don’ts
Do:
- Create a new PyjamaHR account for each brand/subsidiary.
- Use unique email addresses and website URLs for each account.
