Export and positions
Positions are new in Huma, and you can now collect employment history data. In the People export, you can export position and salary information based on a specific date.
Why does this matter?
Because the export includes one position per employee at a time. If an employee has had multiple positions, you need to select a date that falls within the period of the position you want to export.
Example:
Thomas has a history of positions in Huma, and you want to gather data from each one of them.
| Position | Export date |
|
Thomas worked in marketing during may 2024 - may 2025. |
If you want data from the marketing position, select a spesific date between may 2024 - may 2025. |
| Thomas worked in sales during april 2025 - until today | If you want data from the sales position, select a spesific date between april 2025 - until today. |
