What are Candidate Tags?
Candidate tags can be assigned to candidates within Talos. The tag will appear next to the candidate within the candidate profile in the vacancy meaning you can filter candidates easily when searching for a particular requirement/job title/experience etc.
They can be searched within the Talent Pool and also will be visible on the candidate when they are moved round the system or apply again with the same email address.
This feature is designed to help with repeat applications, as the candidate will have the relevant Tag as soon as they come into the system each and every time they apply (pending they apply with the same email address).
Adding and Removing Tags
To add or remove Candidate tags, you will need to access the 'Manage Tags' Client Settings screen, which you can access here.
On the 'Manage Tags' screen, you can see any current tags as well as any archived tags that have been setup. There is also a section at the top of the page to add new tags:
Note: you will need to have access to the ‘System Configuration' permission in order to create and remove Talent Pool tags.
Adding a Tag
To add a tag, enter the tag name at the top of the page in the 'Add Tag' box and then click on 'Add':
This will then add the newly created tag under the 'Current Tag' column.
Removing a Tag
To archive a tag, so it is no longer shown within the tag assignment dropdown when assigning a tag to a candidate, select the tag from the 'Current Tag' dropdown and select the single arrow at the top of the section to move this to the 'Archived Tags' column:
Tip: tags can be moved in bulk by clicking on the double arrow above either the Current Tags or Archived Tags columns. This will move all visible tags to the opposite column.
Once you are happy with the updates, click on 'Save' in the lower right-hand corner to save your changes.
Assigning Tags
On the candidate you would like to assign a Candidate tag to, click on the 'No tags' button and this will load a dropdown list of all tags that are live on your system:
From the dropdown list, select any relevant tag(s) you would like to assign to the candidate and then click out of the box anywhere else on the screen to save your choices:
Searching via Tags in Talent Pool
If you have added a tag and moved the candidate to the talent pool you can search through the talent pool via specific tags. Go to the Talent Pool when signed into Talos. Within the Talent Pool screen, click on 'Enter Applicant Tags' and select the relevant tag(s) to search:
Multiple tags can be selected from the available dropdown list. This will show all candidates that have been tagged with any of the tags selected.
Once you are happy with the tags to search by, click on the filter button on the right-hand side of the screen. This will return all candidates that are tagged with the selected tags for you to review further:
