Role Availability: All Plans of Freshteam 


Employees who are also Managers of Teams with a team of their own can get this role in Freshteam as it allows them to view candidates they are a part of in the Hiring Process and also information about their team i.e employees who report to him/her. This is an ideal role you can give to all managers in the company limiting their access to other sensitive information while providing information on their own team members and candidates. The hiring manager will just be an ‘employee’ role user outside of recruitment. They cannot view onboarding and HR-related fields in employee records.


So, let us see what an employee with the Hiring Manager can and cannot do.
