User Types & Licenses

BrightMove offers four primary user types, each with its own role within the system:

Recruiter
Also referred to as Employees or Full Users. Recruiters manage the full hiring process: posting jobs, managing candidates, scheduling interviews, and moving applicants through the pipeline. With the right permissions, Recruiters can also configure system settings. This is the most comprehensive license type.

Hiring Manager
Also called Client Contacts. Hiring Managers are typically responsible for reviewing candidates and making hiring decisions. They collaborate with Recruiters and other Hiring Managers to select the right candidates for open positions.

Executive
Executives have read-only access. They can view reports and monitor the hiring process, but they do not make changes or manage candidates directly.

Candidate
Also called Applicants. These are the individuals applying for jobs. Their profiles, resumes, and application details are stored and tracked within BrightMove. There is no license fee for Candidate users.

What is a Super User?

In addition to the primary license types above, there is an elevated permission level called Super User. This is not a separate license, but rather a set of advanced permissions that can be assigned, most commonly to Recruiters. Super Users have the ability to access and manage advanced settings such as platform configuration, integrations, API access, and higher-level system administration tasks.
