Establish which team members have access to which parts of your hiring process with hiring roles.

In this article:

⚠️ Creating and editing hiring roles and setting up default notifications are available in our Lead and Scale plan.

There are six default hiring roles already set up in your Recruitee account under Settings > Company > Hiring roles.

Administrator

Administrators have access to all candidates, jobs, and settings and can fully manage the company's account and members. Only users with this role can invite and delete other administrators, access high-level data, and view all items with restricted visibility.

📌 You cannot edit this role.

💡 We recommend having multiple Administrator accounts to prevent being locked out of your Recruitee account if your Administrator leaves the company.

Corporate recruiter

Corporate recruiters have the same access to candidates and jobs data as Administrators. Still, they cannot delete administrators, have access to high-level data, and cannot view all items with restricted visibility.

Hiring manager

Hiring managers are involved in the hiring process from start to finish.

Reviewer

A Reviewer’s primary tasks are to view and evaluate candidates.

Accounting

The Accounting role is best for accountants who control company subscriptions and manage invoices.

Marketing/Design

The Marketing/Design role is for users with limited access to edit the careers site.
