Viewing Manager Process

This user guide explains the accessibility for the Viewing Manager role. This user only has "viewing" privileges and does not have the ability to communicate with applicants, change statuses, etc. Viewing Managers can only print and view applications and other application-specific data.  Admin users can also grant access to Viewing Managers to make notes and spotlight applicants (recommended). Viewing Managers may also be granted access to view other information from optional features and integrations like Requisitions, Background Checks and more.

Common Questions

Can Viewing Managers change statuses?

No. Viewing Managers by definition, have "view-only" access to the applications. In general, they cannot make any changes to an application.

Can Viewing Managers add notes?

Yes; this option can be toggled on for any user, including Viewing Managers.

Why would I make a user a Viewing Manager?

If you wanted to make a user who can see applications, but cannot make any changes to those applications, you would create them as a Viewing Manager. Viewing Managers still have access based on department or job listing and will be able to check progress on applicants without making changes to them.

Can Viewing Managers send assessments to applicants?

At this time Viewing Managers do not have access to send Selective Hiring Assessments, although, you can allow them to view assessment results.
