Tags

Tags help you organise and filter candidates during the hiring process. This article explains how to add, remove, and manage tags across JOIN.

Tags are labels you can assign to candidates to help you stay organised. You can use them to categorise candidates by status, fit, or any criteria relevant to your hiring process, for example Great fit, Needs follow-up, or Pipeline review.

Tags are visible to all users in your account and can be used to filter candidates in your application list and Talent Pool.

1. Open the Applications tab and select the Active sub-tab.
2. To add a tag to a single candidate, click the tag icon in the Tags column next to the candidate.
3. Select an existing tag or type a new one to create it.

To add tags to multiple candidates at once:

1. Select candidates using the checkboxes.
2. Click the ... overflow menu in the action bar at the bottom.
3. Select Add tags.

From a job’s application view

1. Open a job in the Jobs tab.
2. Go to the Applications tab.
3. Hover over the candidate card and click ... → Add tag.

To bulk add tags:

1. Select multiple candidates using the checkboxes.
2. Click Add tags in the action bar at the bottom.

1. Open a candidate profile.
2. In the detail sidebar, find the Tags section.

Removing a tag

To remove a tag from a candidate:

1. Open the tag modal or candidate profile.
2. Click the x next to the relevant tag.

Once a tag has been removed from all candidates, it will automatically disappear from your tag list.

If a tag is still visible after removal, it is likely still assigned to another candidate or application.

Tips for using tags

• Use Application tags in the filter bar of your application list or Talent Pool to quickly find candidates with a specific label.
• Create consistent naming conventions across your team so filters remain useful. For example, use Strong fit consistently instead of multiple variations.
• Tags are shared across your account, so all team members can use existing tags.

FAQ

Why is a tag still showing after I removed it?

A tag only disappears from your tag list once it has been removed from all candidates and applications. Use the tag filter to find any remaining candidates where the tag is still assigned. If a tag remains visible after you remove it, follow these steps:

1. Filter your applications using the relevant Application Tag.
2. Open each candidate profile where the tag still appears.
3. Remove the tag directly from the profile.

If you are still unable to remove a tag as expected, contact our Support team and include:

• The tag name
• An example candidate or application where the tag cannot be removed
• A screenshot, if possible
