To protect the integrity of your organization's hiring process, you can link a Greenhouse Recruiting user's account to a candidate profile. This prevents the user from seeing/accessing the details of their own candidate profile, including submitted scorecards, notes, and other information your team might have input when this user was a candidate for your organization. In this article, we will cover:
- Link User Account to Candidate Profile
- Unlink User Account from Candidate Profile
- View Candidate Profiles from Linked User Account
Link User Account to Candidate Profile
To link a Greenhouse Recruiting user's account to their candidate profile, click the Configure icon 
in the upper right-hand corner and navigate to Users on the left-hand panel.
Select a Greenhouse Recruiting user account from the subsequent page.
On the Edit User page, navigate to the Linked Candidate section and click + Link to Candidate.
Use the provided search field to find the candidate profile in your system that should be linked to this user account. Click Link in the search results next to the Candidate profile name.
Repeat if necessary.
Note: A Greenhouse Recruiting user account can be linked to multiple candidate profiles and a candidate profile can be linked to multiple Greenhouse Recruiting user accounts.
When finished, click Save at the bottom of the page.
Unlink User Account from Candidate Profile
