Streamlining teamwork across roles for faster, smarter hiring decisions

Updated today

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).

Job Approvals (if applicable)

  • If your organization uses Job Approval workflows, Hiring Managers and Recruiters collaborate to manage approvals:

    • Hiring Managers can approve or reject jobs directly within BrightMove.

    • Recruiters track approval history and current approver status.
