Hiring is a team sport so it’s best to decide together as a team who the right person is for the job. In this article, we'll show you how to manage your team on the Team Management page. Please note that this is only relevant if you have Team Management permission.

As an Admin or User with the Team Management permission, you can manage other team members and decide which permissions each team member has.

Adding team members

  1. At the bottom of the sidebar, click Settings, then Team management.

  2. Click Invite colleague.

  3. Fill in the name and work email address of the colleague you want to invite.

  4. Choose whether you want to make this team member an Admin or a User.

  5. If applicable, you can prevent the team member from accessing the job opening they applied for by switching the toggle for This user was hired via Homerun and selecting the job opening in the dropdown.

  6. At Add to Hiring teams, select the job opening(s) the new team member can review.

  7. Click Save changes. Your colleague will receive an invitation by email.

Note: By default a new Admin will receive all your current permissions. A new User will only receive the Job post editor permission. You can manually change these permissions before you add the new team member.

Changing team member permissions

  1. At the bottom of the sidebar, click Settings, then Team management.

  2. Hover over the team member you want to change permissions for. Click the Pencil icon.

  3. Switch the toggles to the permissions you want to add or remove.

  4. If applicable, you can prevent the team member from accessing the job opening they applied for by switching the toggle for This user was hired via Homerun and selecting the job opening in the dropdown.

  5. At Add to Hiring teams, select the job opening(s) the team member can review. Click Save changes.

Note: Team members can only change permissions for other users if they themselves also have that same permission.

Deleting team members

  1. At the bottom of the sidebar, click Settings, then Team management.

  2. Hover over the team member you want to delete and click the small X to delete the team member.

  3. A modal will pop up to ask if you are sure you want to delete this team member. Confirm by clicking Yes, remove.

You have now deleted a team member from your Homerun account. Any ratings, notes or comments made by this team member will remain intact.

Transfer account ownership

Every Homerun account has one account Owner. The ownership can be transferred to another team member (Admin or User) by the current Owner:

  1. As an Owner, select your profile in the top right corner and click Settings, then Team management.

  2. Hover over the team member you want to make the account Owner. Click the Pencil icon.

  3. At User role, change their role to Owner and click Save changes.

Your team member has become the new Owner and your account has automatically become an Admin.

Note: If your company’s Homerun account was created before March 11th, 2022, the account doesn’t have an Owner. The admin(s) with all permissions manage(s) the account.
