\nKeeping track of Companies and their associated Contacts can be time-consuming. It\u2019s a lot of manual work to track which companies you work with, the contacts you keep in touch with, contacts that switch companies, companies that are purchased by other companies, and so on. Bullhorn makes it easy to keep your data up-to-date and handle any situation involving Contact and Company record management!<\/p>\n
Company records are the one type of record you cannot delete, although we recommend archiving records rather than deleting them. Archiving a record allows you to retain all relevant information in case you want to access it in the future and still maintain the integrity of your database. This is particularly useful for companies who have gone out of business.<\/p>\n
To archive a Company, open the Company record and from the Actions<\/i> drop-down select Change Status<\/b>. From your Status<\/i> options, choose Archive<\/b> and then Save<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n
<\/p>\n
Because our relationships with companies rely on how we interact with their associated contacts, company ownership is determined by who owns the contacts at the company. You may notice that a company has multiple owners if the contacts are owned by different users.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/Company-Ownership.png\")

<\/p>\n
Secondary Owners on Contacts and any owners on Contacts with a status of Archive will also be listed as Company Owners. So if you see Owners on the Company record you can\u2019t find on the Contacts, don\u2019t worry! Check for archived Contact records and make sure the Secondary Owners field is unhidden in your field mappings.<\/p>\n
You can link related companies by creating parent-child company relationships between the owner company and its subsidiaries. Was one of the companies you work with acquired by another company? Parent-child relationships in Bullhorn are particularly helpful and will allow you to continue accurately tracking information on both the Child Company record as well as the new Parent Company record.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/06\/Parent_Child-Companies.png\")
