This article is for administrators.
Overview
By default, only Admin and Staffing Users can create jobs in Recruiting. You can also allow individual Standard Users to create jobs by updating their user settings.
Allow a Standard user to create jobs
- Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking to open the Recruiting platform.
-
The Applicant Tracking link will navigate you to the Home Dashboard in your Applicant Tracking System.
-
Select Admin, and then select Users.
- Select the Standard User you want to update.
-
On the user record, under Additional Permissions, select Allowed to Create Jobs.

- Select Save. The selected Standard User can now create jobs. When the user logs in to Recruiting, they will see the Create a Job button.
Job approval considerations
- If your company has Job Approval turned on, users do not see the Create a Job button. Instead, they see the Request Job Approval button.
- All users can request a job approval without any additional setup.
