By default, new users are assigned the Recruiter (Standard) role when they connect with a company profile, unless the employer assigns them a different role.
Recruiter (Standard) users can manage events, career fairs, jobs, applicants, and on-campus interviews. They can also message candidates.
We recommend this role for recruiters, recruiting coordinators, and third-party partners who primarily post jobs or events.
This role is available on all company profiles in Handshake, with no limit on the number of Recruiter (Standard) seats a company can have.
Premium partners can configure most permissions and have additional permission options, depending on the selected modules. Some modules include non-configurable permissions, as detailed below.
