Manage job and module permissions for any job

Last updated May 31, 2025 · Administrator

Managing job and module permissions allows you to control who in your organization can view, edit, or take actions on a specific job posting or related modules (like candidates, interviews, evaluations). This ensures data confidentiality and prevents unauthorized access.

Use cases:

  • Granting hiring managers access to view applicants for their team only.
  • Limiting editing rights to selected recruiters.
  • Allowing interviewers to view candidate profiles but not edit job details.

Steps to manage permissions for a job:

  1. Log in to HRStop Hire with admin or recruiter access.
  2. Navigate to the Jobs section and open the job for which you want to manage permissions.
  3. Click the Permissions tab available within the job details page.
  4. Assign access by user:
    • Use the Add User or Assign User button.
    • Choose from the list of internal users (e.g., recruiters, hiring managers, interviewers).
  5. Define the access level for each user:
    • View Only: Can view job and candidate details.
    • Edit Job: Can modify job description, stages, and settings.
    • Manage Candidates: Can move candidates through hiring stages.
    • Interview Access: Can view candidate profiles and give feedback.
  6. Apply module-specific permissions (optional):
    • Restrict access to modules like Offer Management, Interview Scheduling, or Candidate Feedback.
  7. Click Save to confirm changes.

Tip:
You can edit or revoke permissions anytime by revisiting the Permissions tab for that job. Always review assigned roles periodically to maintain system integrity.
