# Teams

Teams on Sumble represent the organizational units within a company — engineering teams, product groups, business units, and subsidiaries. Sumble extracts team structures from job posts and maps them into a hierarchy for each organization.

## Viewing teams

Teams are displayed on the **Teams** tab of any [organization page](/web-application/organization-pages.md). They appear as an expandable tree that shows how teams relate to each other within the company.

For each team you'll see:

* **Job post count** — how many job posts Sumble has associated with the team
* **Last hiring activity** — when the team last had an active job post
* **Technologies** — the technologies mentioned in the team's job posts

Subsidiaries are included in the teams view because in practice they often function as teams, and showing them together gives you a more complete picture of the organization.

## Filtering teams

The search bar filters apply to teams. When you add a technology or job function filter, the team tree updates to show only teams with matching job posts, and the counts reflect the filtered results.

This lets you answer questions like "Which teams at this company use Kubernetes?" or "Where is this company hiring data engineers?"

## Related teams

Sumble also identifies related teams — teams that frequently appear together in job posts or share technology overlap. This helps you discover adjacent teams that might also be relevant to your outreach.

## How teams are extracted

Team names are extracted from job posts using Sumble's NER models. Common patterns include the team or department name appearing in the job title or description (e.g., "Senior Engineer, Infrastructure Platform" maps to the "Infrastructure Platform" team). Names are normalized across variations so that "Infra Platform" and "Infrastructure Platform" resolve to the same team.
