By default, all new users are assigned the role of Recruiter (Standard) when they connect with an existing company profile, unless the employer configures otherwise, or they are invited to join with a different role.
Recruiter (Standard) users can manage events and career fairs, jobs, applicants, and on-campus interviews. They can also message candidates.
We recommend this role type for Recruiters, Recruiting Coordinators, and third party partners who only post jobs or events.
This role type is available on all company profiles in Handshake, and there's no limit to the number of Recruiter (Standard) seats with a company.
- The default permission set represents the level of permissions or access granted to users with a free or unpaid seat. This default setting applies to all employer users in that role.
- If you are connected to a premium employer account and you do not have the level of permissions described, reach out to the company owner to request a premium seat.
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.
