Types of user accounts:

Licences:

Recruiter License

Recruiters are the standard user type in SeekOut. Their permissions depend on the license assigned to them.

  • Essentials License
    Essential licensees can use Messaging, Projects, and Smart Match. They can search the Public Profile talent pool.

  • Professional License
    Includes everything in Essentials and adds access to the GitHub talent pool.

  • Enterprise License
    Includes everything in Professional and adds access to the Expert talent pool.


Supervisor

A Supervisor is a licensed Recruiter who is granted additional oversight capabilities. Supervisors keep their full Recruiter permissions and also gain access to team usage information.

Supervisors can:
• View usage reports for their team
• Monitor activity across assigned users
• View project activity and usage insights

Supervisors cannot:
• Add or remove users
• Change organization settings
• Manage licenses
• Access Admin-only tools


Admin

Admin users have full administrative control over the organization’s SeekOut account. This role is separate from Supervisors and may exist as either a licensed user or a free Admin-only account.

Admins can:
• Access all usage reports
• View and manage all users in the organization
• Add, remove, or deactivate accounts
• Manage license assignments
• Update team settings and configuration
• View billing-relevant usage (where applicable)

Admins cannot:
• Use Search, Messaging, Projects, Smart Match, or Insights if they are on a free Admin account


(Only licensed Admins with Recruiter access can perform sourcing tasks.)

To request Admin access for someone in your organization, email [email protected].

For more information, please refer to the article titled 'Team Administration: Accounts and Usage Reports'.


Hiring Manager

Hiring Manager accounts are free accounts meant for reviewing candidates.
They do not have access to Search, Messaging, Smart Match, or Insights, and cannot view candidate contact information.

Hiring Managers can:
• View projects shared with them
• Comment on candidate profiles
• Collaborate on evaluations inside shared projects

They cannot:
• Create their own projects
• Search the talent pools
• Pull contact info

Hiring Manager accounts are created when a recruiter shares a project with someone who does not have a SeekOut license. That person then creates a free account to access the shared project.
