Designating a job posting owner and a hiring manager gives those users visibility into the hiring process. When you have assigned a posting owner and hiring manager, the user is added as a follower to all candidate profiles that are associated with the posting. They also have the ability to view offer details for candidates associated with the posting. Before getting started, we recommend reading full instructions on our help article on adding and managing job postings.

What happens to current candidates when you change the posting owner or hiring manager?

When you change the owner or hiring manager of a posting, you will be asked what you want to do with current candidates. You can choose to update the posting owner or hiring manager on record for all candidates who are still actively being considered for the posting, or you can choose to keep the existing owner or hiring manager for those current candidates.

Regardless of what you choose for current candidates, the new owner or hiring manager will be the owner or hiring manager for all new candidates to the posting going forward.

This decision will primarily affect reporting, where you can see the posting owner or posting hiring manager on record for your consideration of a candidate to a specific job. You will also see the posting owner change on the opportunities in the job list.
