This article is for administrators.
Overview
Assigning the right users to a job helps your hiring team work together, track candidates, and stay informed. When users are assigned correctly, everyone knows their role and what actions they can take during the hiring process.
This article is for administrators or Hiring Managers assigned to the job.
If you need to assign users to many jobs at once, refer to Use Bulk Actions to assign multiple users to jobs for steps.
Assign Users to a Job
- Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking.
-
Select the magnifying glass icon next to the Type a Search box, then choose Job Search.
- In the Job Title Search box, enter the job title.
- Select the job you want to update.
-
At the top of the page, select the More Info icon to the left of the job title.
- In the panel on the right, review these sections:
- Key People Managing This Job
- People Monitoring This Job
-
Allowed to Read/Post Candidate Comments
- Select the blue text in each section to assign users to the correct role:
- Hiring Managers and Recruiters: Main users who manage the job and candidates (for example, HR, recruiters, or managers handling hiring)
- Executives: Leaders who want visibility but do not manage the job or receive frequent notifications
- Team Members: Employees who need to stay informed but do not need access to budget details (for example, interviewers or supporting managers)
- Repeat as needed, then select Save.
Tips
