BrightMove is designed to foster seamless collaboration between Recruiters and Hiring Managers, whether you’re part of an internal HR team, a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) partner, or an agency. The platform ensures everyone involved in the hiring process can easily communicate, track progress, and work together to fill roles efficiently.
How Recruiters & Hiring Managers Work Together in BrightMove
BrightMove makes it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to stay aligned throughout the hiring process. By sharing job records, managing candidate reviews, and communicating directly in the platform, both roles can move candidates forward efficiently and make informed hiring decisions together.
Shared Job Records
Recruiters and Hiring Managers share access to job records in BrightMove.
Both can view key job details, candidate pipelines, and status updates.
Depending on permissions, Hiring Managers may also be able to suggest edits or approve/reject job postings.
Submittals & Candidate Reviews
Recruiters submit qualified candidates to Hiring Managers for review via the Submittals tab.
Hiring Managers can:
Review resumes
Rank candidates
Mark candidates “In Review”
Provide feedback (comments or activity notes)
Use Recommend Hire or Decline buttons to communicate decisions back to the recruiter
Recruiters track this feedback and progress candidates accordingly.
Status & Visibility
Both roles can view where each candidate stands in the pipeline (e.g., Interviewing, Offer Extended).
Recruiters manage workflow stages, but Hiring Managers can monitor progress in real time via dashboards and job records.
Communication & Notes
Both roles can add notes to the job or candidate profiles for full visibility.
Recruiters may also set up automated alerts for Hiring Managers when action is needed (such as approvals or feedback requests).
