Hi everyone! Happy Thursday!
I’m hoping to gather some input/ advice from this group as I’m working on creating a rating and priority system that our hiring managers can use when they email us that they have a new position that they want to open. We have Hirebridge ATS so it would be cool to have this system potentially feed in to the ATS at some point.
So far, what I’ve come up with is having a color system and a chart that hiring managers fill out. Red, orange, yellow green.

Curious how other marketing teams like to share resources internally. I'm considering creating a centralized hub where departments can access news, branding information, logos, premade materials and basic templates like letterheads. I'd also like to be able to give specific users access to specific things (ie I don't want everyone to have the logo vector).

Any suggestions or thoughts? Know any software for this? My instinct is just to build a website or page with logins, but open to options!
