What User Types Are Available in Recruiting and What Can They Do?

Describes the primary user types (roles) available in Recruiting (Admins, Staffing Users, and Standard Users) and other roles and their capabilities..

This article is for administrators, staffing users, and standard users.

 

Recruiting User Types

These are the primary user types in Recruiting, categorized as either licensed or unlicensed:

Admin (Licensed)

  • Is the administrator of your company's Recruiting app and responsible for the management and configuration of it.
  • Has all possible (unlimited) access to Recruiting.

Staffing User (Licensed)

  • Internal recruiter, staffing manager, or HR manager in an organization.
  • Works directly with hiring managers to drive the recruiting process, so they must have access to almost all jobs. However, unlike Admins, they do not generally manage or configure Recruiting.

Standard User (Unlicensed)

  • Hiring manager who acts as a decision maker during the recruiting process.
  • They usually manage only the jobs they are assigned to.
  • All higher-level decisions and setups in Recruiting are handled by their Staffing Users or Admins.

Apart from the basic user types, users can be assigned to these jobs under the category, Different Roles, which affects how much they can edit the candidates or jobs they are assigned to:

Hiring Managers (Standard or Licensed Users)

  • Are responsible for managing a job and the candidates in that job.
  • Have full viewing rights and receive alerts concerning candidates and jobs they are assigned to as users.

Recruiters (Licensed Users Only)

  • Have the same responsibilities and abilities as the hiring managers, but only licensed users can be placed in the recruiter category.
  • Admins on the recruiters list are automatically assigned as a recruiter on newly created jobs. 

Executives (Standard or Licensed Users)

  • Have full viewing privileges for both candidates and the job. 

Team Members (Standard or Licensed Users)

  • View and edit candidate profiles.
  • Do not have budget viewing availability.
