The Can view and edit candidates and prospects Job Admin permission gives the user access to candidate and prospect details on an individual job. This permission is required to grant access to other job admin functions (such as the ability to email candidates and prospects).
Organizations may want to remove this permission for certain job admin levels to limit a user's access to candidates based on process (such as requiring all candidates to be filtered through a recruiter before they are shared individually with the hiring manager) or in cases where a role does not need to see candidate data to still complete their tasks (such as an offer approver who only needs to verify that the uploaded offer documents are within the salary band).
Note: Only organizations with an Advanced or Expert subscription can customize the permissions associated with Job Admin levels. Organizations with an Essential subscription cannot edit existing Job Admin levels or create custom Job Admin levels.
If a Job Admin does not have this permission, they won't have access to any candidates or prospects on the job and won't be able to do things like view the candidates page or see associated candidates/prospects in search results.
In some cases, some specific candidate features - like the visual pipeline - are replaced with aggregated data that still give the job admin access to the job-specific information.
If a Job Admin is also the hiring manager on the job, they will still have access to candidate details when candidates are in the Hiring Manager Review stage and they need to complete the application review.
If a user is associated with multiple Job Admin levels - some that have access to candidates and some that do not - only candidates and prospects that they have access to will display in search results.
