Custom Hiring Team Roles

Actions

Each custom and default hiring team role's permissions is defined as a list of actions they can or cannot perform in relation to the job or candidates on the job.

For example, job actions include:

• Publishing/unpublishing/cancelling a job
• Editing the job's status manually (without moving the candidate forward or back in the process.

When added to a job's hiring team and assigned a role, the user is assigned the role's list of allowable actions for that job and any candidate applications to that job. 

Access levels

Each role is assigned an access level for each action. The access level determines exactly what a user who is assigned that role can do in relation to that action.

Some actions have three levels:

Write	User can see and modify information
Read	User can see but not modify information
None	User cannot see or modify information.

Others have only two:

Yes	User can perform this action
No	User cannot perform this action

Configure default roles

On the the Configure default roles tab are two tables: Job and Candidate permissions. Each row in the tables is a specific action; each column, a specific default role.

To configure the permissions of a particular default role:

1. Find the action in the Job Actions or Candidate Actions table.
2. Hover over the row for an action, and click Edit.​​​​​​
3. Choose the role's correct level of access for that action from the list, and click Save.

Changes take effect immediately.

Configure additional roles

To create and configure custom hiring team roles:

1. Click on the Additional Roles tab.
2. Click Manage additional roles.
3. Click Add a role.
4. Give the role a name, and click Save.
5. In the Job and Candidate Actions tables, go through each action and assign an access level. When you create a new role, SmartRecruiters defaults all of the role's access levels to None.Make sure to click Save!
6. Repeat as needed for both tables.

Admins can add up to five custom roles. Just click Manage additional roles to add another.

If you've added more than one, you can update each at the same time:

To delete a role, click Manage additional roles, then click the Delete icon for the role.A few things to keep in mind:

• Admins cannot deactivate a custom hiring team role if the role is currently being used in an existing approval chain
• Admins cannot delete a custom role or if there is at least one user assigned that role on a hiring team.
• There are some interdependencies between actions. SmartRecruiters will resolve these interdependencies as needed. For example, assume an Admin has granted a user Write permissions for Offers, but None permissions for Messages. The user will need to be able to send an offer, so SmartRecruiters will ignore the Messages permission. In the future, we may add deconfliction rules, but this is the current logic.
• SmartRecruiters will automatically update candidate status based on user actions, even if the user doesn't have the ability to edit status.
• Our Hiring App will follow the same permissions as the web app.
