Change the list owner or assign colleagues

Every list has one list owner, the person your client sees as their contact. Assignees are the colleagues who work on the list with you and get its emails.

Who can do this: anyone who can open the list.

Every list has one list owner, the person your client sees as their contact. Assignees are the colleagues who work on the list with you and get its emails.

Change the list owner

  1. Open the list and click List configuration > General.

  2. Under List owner, pick the new owner. The change saves straight away.

The new owner shows on the list as your client's contact. Depending on List header style (in List appearance), clients see their name, photo and title at the top of the list.

Assign colleagues to a list

  1. Open the list and click Assignees at the top right.

  2. Tick the colleagues who should work on the list.

  3. Click Save.

You can also pick colleagues under Assign colleagues when you create a list.

What assignees get

  • Access to the list, also when they're Members who couldn't see it otherwise.

  • List emails, for example when a client opens the list for the first time.

  • On new candidates, they're added as Colleagues receiving notifications, so they get that candidate's messages and requests.

Who gets emails about one candidate

On a job submission list, each candidate has their own participants. To change them, open the candidate, click the participant avatars above the Messenger (Add or remove participants) and edit:

  • Colleagues receiving notifications: your colleagues

  • Clients receiving notifications: client contacts on this list

Search to add someone, click the x to remove them.

Good to know

  • Assigning colleagues after candidates are on the list doesn't add them to those candidates. Add them as participants on the candidates if they need those emails.

  • When a colleague leaves, an Owner or Admin reassigns their lists when removing them in Settings > Users.

  • Colleagues are added as assignees automatically when they share the list, change its status, add a candidate, or mark a candidate ready or set one active.
