FAQ
Are my R365 Hire and R365 login credentials the same?
It depends on the tier enabled:
For Hire Essentials or Hire Pro, R365 Hire (powered by CareerPlug) uses single sign-on (SSO), so there is no separate login.
For the R365 Hire (legacy) tier, R365 Hire and R365 each retain different login credentials, and users need separate credentials for each.
