The Hiring Manager Profile

Hiring Manager Profile (Recruiter View)

Updated yesterday

The Hiring Manager Profile contains key account and contact information for hiring managers and is accessible to both Recruiters and Admins. While the full layout may vary depending on your company's configuration, the profile is organized into a left-hand Basic Information panel and a series of tabs for managing jobs, activities, candidates, and more.

The profile includes:

  • Basic Information (Baseball Card)

  • HR Business Partner / Sales Person field (HR Company or Staffing Edition only)

  • Contact details and profile links

  • Profile tags for organization

  • Communication actions and quick links

  • Tabbed sections: Jobs, Activities, Notes, Submittals, Folders, Attachments, Approver Delegates, Opportunities, User Defined Fields (UDF), and Audit

Accessing a Hiring Manager Profile

From the Recruiter or Admin Workspace:

  • Go to Managers > Power Search, find the hiring manager, and click their name, or

  • Go to Settings > Manager Access and click the hiring manager's name.

Basic Information (Baseball Card)

The Basic Information section, also called the Baseball Card, is displayed vertically along the left-hand side of the profile. This section contains:

  • Profile type and BrightMove unique identification number (ID)

  • Manager's name, address, phone number(s), and email address(es)

  • Links to the manager's assigned Department/Client and Location/Department profiles

  • Profile photo (optional)

To upload a profile photo:

  1. Select the image square.

  2. Paste an image URL or click Browse to upload from your computer.

  3. Click Save and Close to apply changes.

HR Business Partner Field (HR Company Packages Only)

The HR Business Partner of a Hiring Manager profile is the full user responsible for managing that hiring manager's account. This person is typically the primary point of contact and manages job postings, candidate submittals, and communication on behalf of the hiring manager. When a new job is created by the Hiring Manager, this user is automatically assigned as the primary recruiter for that job. In Staffing Edition accounts, this field appears as Sales Person instead of HR Business Partner.

Profile Tags

Tags help organize and quickly search for hiring managers.

To add a tag:

  1. Click Add a tag and begin typing.

  2. If the tag already exists, select it from the suggestions.

  3. If it's new, finish typing and save.

Communication Actions and Links

From the Basic Information section, you can quickly contact a hiring manager:

  • Email: Click the blue envelope icon next to an email address to open the compose email screen.

  • Communication Templates: Use the Communicate drop-down to send a blank email or a template to the primary email address.

  • Phone Numbers: Click Add Phone to add a new number (choose type, enter number, click Save). On mobile devices or computers with dial-through software, clicking the phone number will initiate a call.

Tabs on the Hiring Manager Profile

The Hiring Manager Profile includes a series of tabs that organize key information and actions related to the manager's account.
