Steps to Invite a New User to a Team

Prerequisites

• You must have an admin account for the team to which you want to add a user.

Steps

1. On successfully logging into your HackerRank for Work account, click on the arrow next to the user icon on the top right corner of the homepage. This leads you to the Teams Management page.

2. On the displayed page, click on the Users tab. This leads you to a page showing all existing users in your company.

Various Options to Send the Invite

Email Invite

In the dialog box, specify the user's name, the user's email address, and the name of the team. The user must have your company email account to be added to a team.

1. Select the required user profile from the options.
• Recruiter: This is for the users with a recruiter license. They have access to the entire platform and can become a team admin. A recruiter license allows you to send test invitations to candidates.
• Developer: This is for the users with an engineer License. An Engineer license is meant for a developer or an engineering hiring manager. Like recruiters, developers can also become team admin and can send test invites to candidates. They have complete edit permissions to the personal library, tests, and CodePair content.
• Interviewer: This is for the users who do not have either the recruiter or the developer's license. These users cannot be admins of a team and do not have edit permissions to the content.
