# Changing Companies

This function is used to change the company a contact is currently with due to new employment, a company changing names, or someone being relocated. This can also be utilized for moving position records to a different company.

## **To Change One Individual Record**

1. Select the name record.
2. Click**Change Company** from the action menu.
3. Search for the company you wish to move the name record to.
4. Select **Change**.
5. Choose what you would like to copy to this name record. These options will copy the information from the new company record to the name record which is being moved. This updates their record to reflect their new place of employment (Do not use these options if the name record contains their personal information rather than their work information).[https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/10/Change-company-on-individual-name-record.png](https://learning.pcrecruiter.net/site/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/10/Change-company-on-individual-name-record.png)
