                    Delegation in TA

                    scheduleLast updated on November 13, 2026

                    Overview

                    Delegation lets you hand off your work to a colleague for a set period — approvals, positions, and pipeline actions — so things keep moving while you're away, without giving away more access than you have.

                    Why it matters

                    • Your approvals and recruiting work continue while you're out.
                    • You control exactly what a delegate can do, and only for the dates you set.
                    • Every action a delegate takes on your behalf is tagged and logged.

                    How it works

                    1. As a delegator, go to Accounts, then Delegations, then Create delegation.
                    2. Enter a name and a note, set the start and end dates, choose the permission bundles under Define functionalities, and choose your delegate under Delegatee, then select Create.
                    3. As a delegate, open Delegations, find the delegation under Delegated to me, and select Switch account.
                    4. Act within the delegated scope — approve, reject, or work pipeline candidates — while a banner shows you're acting on the delegator's behalf. Your actions appear under the delegator's name and carry a Delegatee action tag, so anyone can see who really did it on hover.
                    5. Select Switch back to your personal account when you're done.

                    FAQs

                    Can a delegate do more than I can?

                    No — a delegate only ever gets the overlap of your permissions and the bundle you choose.

                    How long does a delegation last?

                    Only for the date range you set; it expires automatically at the end date.

                    Can I hand off both approvals and pipeline work?

                    Yes — choose more than one permission bundle.

                    How do I act as a delegate?

                    Open Delegations, find it under Delegated to me, and select Switch account; switch back when you're done.

                    Are offers included?

                    No — offers aren't part of delegation yet.
