Try It Out: Create the Standard Employee Profile

Now that we've created our Recruiter profile, let's finish up with a profile for standard employees. As we mentioned earlier, in your own company, you may want to create additional profiles with basic access settings for the various core job functions, but for our purposes, these will work just fine for now.

To refresh our memories, let's take a look at our required permissions summary table:
Table 1. Summary of Required Permissions: Standard Employee
Positions Candidates Job Applications Reviews Job Postings Employment Websites
Standard Employee
  • Read (No min/max pay)
 - - - - -
Standard employees don’t need much access, but we do want them to be able to view all the open positions so they can help recruit new employees. Creating this profile will be easy. Go ahead and follow the steps that we outlined in the previous section and specify the following.
  • Name the profile Standard Employee, and base it on the Standard User profile.
  • Enable the “Read” permission on the Positions object.

Fantastic! We've just finished defining profiles for all the users in our Recruiting app. Next we’ll create permission sets to grant additional permissions to the people that need them.
