I’m looking for guidance on whether it’s possible to restrict some candidate profiles from being visible to all recruiters in the system. Specifically, I want to limit access so that only selected users—based on their roles or permissions—can view certain candidate profiles.

Hello! Yes, it is possible to restrict some candidate profiles from being visible to all recruiters in the system. The visibility of candidate profiles can be controlled based on the roles or permissions assigned to users.

Specifically, roles that are not granted the permission to view confidential positions will be restricted from seeing any activity related to those positions. This means that if a candidate's profile is marked as confidential, only users with the appropriate permissions can access it.

For example, users assigned the permission 'perm_view_confidential_positions' are granted visibility and access to confidential positions, while others will not be able to view any activity pertaining to those profiles. This allows for a tailored approach to candidate visibility, ensuring that sensitive information is only accessible to authorized personnel.
