Since one employee can hold more than one recruitment role, review their duties before assigning access.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1a63zgq\" data-start=\"617\" data-end=\"642\">Why this setup matters<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"821\">Recruitment roles control who can take part in hiring activities. For example, recruiters can manage applications, while interviewers can review candidates and provide feedback.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"1026\">Clear role assignments also reduce delays because each user knows which tasks they must complete. In addition, inactive users can be removed from recruitment work without deleting their employee records.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"xmzojo\" data-start=\"1028\" data-end=\"1036\">Steps<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1143\"><strong data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1062\">1.

Review the recruitment user summary<\/strong><br data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"1445\" \/>At the top of the page, review the totals for:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1560\">\u2022 Total Users<br data-start=\"1506\" data-end=\"1509\" \/>\u2022 Recruiters<br data-start=\"1521\" data-end=\"1524\" \/>\u2022 Hiring Managers<br data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1544\" \/>\u2022 Interviewers<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1650\">These figures help you confirm how recruitment access is distributed across the company.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1805\"><strong data-start=\"1652\" data-end=\"1692\">5.

Filter users by role if needed<\/strong><br data-start=\"1954\" data-end=\"1957\" \/>Use the <strong data-start=\"1965\" data-end=\"1978\">All Roles<\/strong> dropdown to view users with a specific recruitment role.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2037\" data-end=\"2147\">This filter is useful when you need to check how many recruiters, hiring managers, or interviewers are active.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2250\"><strong data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2170\">7.

Choose one or more recruitment roles<\/strong><br data-start=\"2536\" data-end=\"2539\" \/>Select the role or roles that match the employee&#8217;s duties.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2599\" data-end=\"2623\">Available roles include:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2625\" data-end=\"2693\">\u2022 Department Head<br data-start=\"2642\" data-end=\"2645\" \/>\u2022 Recruiter<br data-start=\"2656\" data-end=\"2659\" \/>\u2022 Hiring Manager<br data-start=\"2675\" data-end=\"2678\" \/>\u2022 Interviewer<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2695\" data-end=\"2782\">You can select more than one role when the employee performs several recruitment tasks.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2902\"><strong data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2824\">10. Review the role responsibilities<\/strong><br data-start=\"2824\" data-end=\"2827\" \/>Before saving, confirm that each selected role matches the employee&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2904\" data-end=\"3076\">For example, assign <strong data-start=\"2924\" data-end=\"2939\">Interviewer<\/strong> to users who take part in screenings or interviews.

However, turn it off when a user should remain in the system but no longer needs recruitment access.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3351\" data-end=\"3459\"><strong data-start=\"3351\" data-end=\"3383\">12. Add the recruitment user<\/strong><br data-start=\"3383\" data-end=\"3386\" \/>Review the employee, selected roles, and status. Then click <strong data-start=\"3446\" data-end=\"3458\">Add User<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3461\" data-end=\"3539\">The user will appear in the Recruitment Users table after the record is saved.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3541\" data-end=\"3686\"><strong data-start=\"3541\" data-end=\"3582\">13.
