Understanding Recruiter vs Manager Roles

The platform distinguishes between two recruiting roles: Recruiter and Manager. Understanding the differences helps your team work efficiently.

Recruiters need explicit permission from a manager to create job listings. This is controlled by the Can Create Jobs setting on each recruiter's profile. Managers can always create job listings up to the plan's limit.

Company Administration

Only managers can modify company-level settings including the company profile, subscription plan, team membership, automations, and integrations.

Primary Manager

The user who created the company is the Primary Manager (indicated by a crown icon on the Team page). The primary manager cannot be removed from the team.

Tips

• Keep your manager count minimal. Most teams need one or two managers and multiple recruiters.
• Grant job posting permission to experienced recruiters who understand your company's requirements.
