To assign a Hiring team to a Job in JOIN, you must first invite your team members to your company account. Only existing members can be added to a Job.
Before assigning roles at the Job level, it is important to understand the roles at the company level. They define what a person can see in your account:
System Admin: full access to all Jobs, features and settings
Standard: can create Jobs and manage limited settings
Limited: read-only access to selected areas
Once members have been added, you can assign them to specific Jobs and set their roles at the Job level.
Three roles available for Hiring team members
Reviewer
Can view the Job, access Candidate profiles, review Applications, and view and submit scorecards. Cannot edit the Job posting, assign Candidates, or update the pipeline Stages.
Use case: for colleagues who take part in reviewing Applications and gathering structured feedback, but who should not be able to edit the Job posting or move Candidates forward in the Hiring process. For example: team leads, department members or subject-matter experts.
Hiring Manager
Can do everything a Reviewer can do. Can also edit the Job posting, assign Candidates to Jobs, update the pipeline Stages and make hiring decisions.
Use case: for people responsible for driving recruitment for a given position. Ideal for department heads or functional managers who are heavily involved in evaluating Candidates and role fit, without needing full administrator rights.
Job Admin
Has full access to the Job, including managing the Job posting, Candidates and Hiring team members. Can reject or delete Applications, change the Job's visibility and assign other people to the Job.
Use case: for recruiters or talent acquisition leads who manage the Job end to end, with full control over the Job and team settings.
System Admins always have full access to Jobs, regardless of the Job-level Permissions assigned to them.
