Overview 

Sometimes you need to post a job without making it visible to most users. A confidential job limits who can view the job and candidate details. 

Only the following users can see confidential jobs and their candidates: 

• Any Staffing User assigned as a Recruiter 
• Any user assigned as a Hiring Manager 
• Any Standard User assigned as an Executive or Team Member 
• All Administrators (default user right) 

All other users cannot see confidential jobs or their candidates. 

Important: 

• For security reasons, candidates submitted to confidential jobs are hidden from unauthorized users and do not appear in searches.
• When a job no longer needs to be confidential, it’s best to remove the setting so other users can find the candidates. 
• Confidential jobs do not appear in Analytics reports. See Gather reporting for a confidential job for an alternative reporting option. 
• Candidates cannot apply directly to a confidential job because there is no secure way to accept applications through a public job post.
