Users and Permissions Overview

You may not be able to access some pages or information in your employer account. If this happens, ask an account administrator to change your access. Access is based on different permissions, such as Jobs, Candidates, and Billing. These permissions can be combined. They are not set as one single level. Check the access levels and optional preset roles below to find what you need.
