Hiring with Homerun is even more flexible! With hiring team roles, you can manage what each team member can do at the job level, giving you more control and clarity across your hiring process.

Hiring team roles define what actions a team member can take, and what information they can see within a specific job opening. This means you can assign someone full access to one job, and limited access to another, depending on their role in each hiring team.

​
