How can I change the job holder for an advertised position?

This help article explains how to change the job owner of a posted position in softgarden.

The job owner is the person designated as the responsible contact for an advertised position. You can change the job owner at any time, provided the selected person holds the necessary role permissions.


How to change the job owner

  1. Open the relevant job and go to the "Overview" tab.

  2. Scroll to the "Recruiting teams" section and click the three dots.

  3. Select "Change job owner."

  4. Select the desired user and confirm the security prompt by clicking the "Change" button.


Important notes

  • By default, the job owner is the one who originally created the job. However, you can change the job owner at any time.

  • If the job owner is displayed on the advertisement, after changing the job owner in the job under the “Job Exchanges” tab, you must manually update the display once so that the new contact person appears correctly on the career page. The update is not automatic.

  • Only a single job holder can be assigned at a time. Multiple assignment is not possible.


Requirements for the Job Owner

A user can only be selected as a Job Owner if they hold one of the following roles:

  • Administrator

  • Recruiter

  • Recruiter (Department)

  • Custom roles based on one of these roles

Required role permissions for custom roles

For a custom-configured role to function as a Job Owner, at least the following permissions must be enabled:

  • Manage jobs

  • Create new job

  • Edit job

  • Close job

  • Edit job team

Role permissions can be adjusted in softgarden as follows:

Go to "Settings" → "User Management" → "Roles" → "Open Role Management" or use this link directly: https://my.softgarden.io/de/management/roles
