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

In this article, we’ll walk you through how the new hiring roles work, what’s changed for Admins, and how to adjust your team setup if needed.

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.

When adding someone to a hiring team, you can now choose from these 4 roles:

Can do everything in this job, including editing, managing candidates, publishing, and changing settings.

Can edit all candidates, move stages, disqualify, email, review, and comment.
Perfect for recruiters or hiring managers focused on candidate management.

Can view candidates, leave reviews, and add comments.
Ideal for team members who only need to review profiles and contribute to evaluations.

Can edit and publish the job post.
Best for those helping to write or publish job descriptions, but not reviewing candidates.

🔔 Note: Job-related notifications vary by role. Users with the Can review role don’t receive any email-related notifications, and those with the Can create role don’t receive candidate-related notifications. All other roles receive notifications without restrictions.

🔔 Note: If a user has the All candidates company permission enabled, they can access a restricted view of candidate profiles via the general Candidates page, even if they can’t access them in a job. They’ll only see basic profile details to decide whether to add someone to the Talent Pool, but not any hiring process details, reviews, or comments.

To support these new job-level roles, we’ve made some updates to company-level permissions and roles:

Previously, job access was partially controlled by company-level permissions like “Job post editor”. Now, all job-related permissions are assigned per job using the roles above.

From now on, all Admins will always have full access to all jobs, regardless of their assigned role in a hiring team.

🔔 Note: Changing someone from Admin to User removes access to jobs they're not assigned to and may affect some company-level permissions.

Nope! If you’re happy with your current Admins having full access to all jobs, you don’t need to do anything.
If you'd like to adjust access, you can do so any time from Team Management.

Yes, that’s the big benefit! A team member can be Full Access on one job, and Can review on another.

No. The way you assign team members to hiring teams stays the same, you’ll just choose their role when adding them.

No changes are needed on your team's end. All team members still have access to everything they previously had access to, nothing has been removed or reset.
