# Hiring managers, interviewers and clients

> How to give hiring managers and interviewers the right access in OpenATS, and how clients follow a search without an account.

Hiring managers and interviewers are teammates with a role that fits: **Manager**, **Limited** or **Interviewer**. Clients don’t sign in at all: you send them a read-only share link that shows candidate names and stages, and nothing internal.

## Hiring managers

| If they should… | Give them |
| --- | --- |
| Lead their department’s or client’s roles and see all of them | **Manager**, and make them a lead of the department or client |
| See only the roles you add them to | **Limited** |
| Only interview and leave scorecards | **Interviewer** |

Your pipeline can mark the hiring manager’s steps: **Settings → Hiring → Pipeline stages** has markers for **Presented to the hiring manager** and **Hiring manager interview** (for an agency, **Presented to the client** and **Client interview**).

## Interviewers

Add interviewers to an interview’s panel. They see the candidates they interview and can leave a scorecard, but not the candidate’s notes or where they stand in the process, and they can’t see the rest of the panel’s scorecards until they’ve submitted their own.

## Clients

There’s no client login. From a role’s page, copy the **Client share link** (or the link for **All {client} roles**) and send it. It’s read-only and shows candidate names and stages only: no notes, scorecards or compensation. Links last 90 days. See [Sharing progress with a client](https://openats.ai/docs/roles-and-pipeline/share-with-a-client).
