Switching roles and permissions
The difference between member, employer and company roles, and how to switch.
Switching rolesWho is this for: EveryoneLast verified: 2026-10-15
The three roles
Member: finds work, applies, receives offers. Employer: finds members, sends offers and posts jobs. Company: hires on behalf of an organisation with a team.
Where to switch
After signing in, the profile menu at the top has the role switch option. A notification for another role leads you to the right role when opened.
Hiring while you are a member
Switch to the employer role. At 100% profile completion you go straight; otherwise you are asked to complete the missing details first. Employer and company profiles are optional.
Limitations
You cannot apply to your own profile or hire yourself. If a button or page does not work, it is a permission rule, not an error.
