Hiring team roles & permissions

Adding team members

Manage access to your job opening by building a hiring team. As the creator of the opening, you're automatically designated as a recruiter. You can then search for any active or suspended users to add to the team, assigning each one a specific role. There are three roles available to choose from:

Interviewer
Hiring manager
Recruiter
