Job Admin CRM permissions
Job Admin levels are defined sets of permissions that are granted to users on a per-job basis.
A user who is assigned to a job as a Job Admin has the following default visibility:
- Can see the job's Dashboard, pipeline, and reports
- Can see all candidates on the job
- Can add and edit candidates and referrals
- Can be assigned hiring team roles
In addition to the default visibility, Site Admins can enable the following permissions that allow Job Admins to perform specific functions within CRM:
| Permission | With permission | Without permission |
| Can advance candidates / prospects | When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to convert prospects to candidates | The convert to candidate button is not available |
| Can reject candidates / prospects | When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to reject candidates using the Stop considering as prospect button from the prospect's profile | The stop considering as prospect button is not available |
| Can email candidates / prospects | When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to email prospects from the prospect's profile | The email prospect button is not available |
| Can create and view private prospects |
Marking a prospect as private restricts access to the prospect's profile for everyone except the prospect owner and users with access to view private prospects Note: If a Job Admin has standard access but is the prospect owner of a private profile, they will have access to the profile |
Job Admins can see private prospects from the All Candidates page, but cannot view or manage their profiles |
| Can merge candidates and prospects | When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to merge duplicate profiles | Job Admins can see the prospect has a duplicate profile and are advised to reach out to a Site Admin to merge the profiles |
| Can view and create private notes | When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to view and create private notes | Job Admins aren't able to view or create private notes |
CRM user-specific permissions
Users who are assigned the Job Admin permission level or higher can be assigned the following optional CRM user-specific permissions:
| Permission | With permission | Without permission |
| Can manage CRM | When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to configure pools/stages, prospect posts, and manage prospects by adding touchpoints, assigning pools/stages reminders, and setting prospect owners | Job Admins don't have access to the CRM tab from your Greenhouse Recruiting dashboard |
| Can create and manage recruiting events |
When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to purchase, create, and edit events where you're an admin |
Job Admins can't purchase, create, or edit events |
| Can manage unattached prospects |
When granted, this permission allows Job Admins to add prospects to jobs, convert prospects to candidates, and see the private tab for prospects |
Job Admins cannot view or manage prospects who are not attached to a job. When selecting a job during the add prospect workflow, Job Admins can only add new prospects to a job they are assigned to as Job Admin. If a Job Admin creates a prospect that is not attached to a job, they will be able to view the prospect from the All Candidates page but cannot view or manage their profile |
