Hiring Managers, Hiring Influencers, and Their Capabilities

Each job in BerniePortal Recruiting has a Hiring Team. That team includes one Hiring Manager and optional Hiring Influencer(s). These are per-job assignments for employees—not company-wide roles. The same person can be Hiring Manager on one job and Hiring Influencer on another.

Global Admins and Recruiting Feature Admins assign the Hiring Team when creating a job (Hiring Team step) or when editing a job.
