Overview

A tag is a keyword you can add to a candidate's profile to save time searching for candidates to match specific jobs. 

Adding the right keywords to your candidates simplifies rediscovering applicants and helps you manage and organize important information.

Standard Users, Staffing Users, and Administrators can add one or multiple tags to a candidate.

Tags appear next to a candidate's name on a candidate's profile screen.

Taking the time to tag candidates now will help a lot in the future. As you continue to add tags, you and your team create a search system and a helpful collection of information to use when new jobs open up.

Sample tag categories:

• Skills: C++, HTML5
• Location: Tokyo or San Francisco
• Certificates: CISSP, PMP
• Clearance Levels: SCI, SSBI
