Overview
This article explains how to assign a line manager to a vacancy.
- Line Manager
- A line manager is a user who holds specific permissions related to vacancies and applications but does not have full administrative control. The role permission includes several functionalities, such as creating vacancies, reviewing candidates' CVs, and accessing shortlisting questions, among others.
The following article only applies to users with ATS Plus access. Users with a Free ATS account do not have line manager permissions. For more information on the permissions of a line manager, check out this article.
To add a line manager to a vacancy:
- Go to the Vacancy section📋
- Click on the vacancy you would like to add a line manager
- Select Job Details ✍️
- From the Vacancy Information Section, add one or multiple Line Managers to the list. A line manager must be an already existing user on the system to come up on the list. If the user is not, you will need to create a new user.
- Click Save 💾
How does it work?
For the application status “Sent to Manager” to show up in the drop-down, this must be set as "Visible to Line Managers". Please note that an email notification will be sent for all application statuses, however, the email will only be sent once for the initial application status change.
- When a vacancy leader sets one or more applications for a vacancy to the status “Sent to Manager”, any line manager who is linked to that vacancy will receive an email that they have a new application to review.
- From their profile, line managers can change the status of the application to a new status, based on the assigned permissions. Once a line manager has set a new status, the vacancy leader will receive an email.
