Vacancy Notes in Talos allow you to leave notes on a vacancy updating other members of the recruitment team on anything related to that vacancy.

Notes can include tags, such as 'Important' or 'Completed' etc or other users on the system can be mentioned directly in your note.

Adding a Vacancy Note

Navigate to the vacancy you would like to add a new note to and select the 'speech bubble' icon in the upper right-hand corner of the vacancy:

This will load the 'Vacancy Notes' pop-out window on the right-hand side of the screen. Click in the text box at the bottom of the page and type in the note you would like to add. To submit your note, click on the 'post' icon:

When text has been entered in the text box, the 'Add Tag' box will highlight - click on this to select tags to add to the note, giving other users of the system some further detail behind the note:

Info: additional tags can be added to your ATS if required. If you would like additional, bespoke tags adding, please raise a support ticket with the below detail for these to be setup:

  • Name of tag

  • Colour (this can be red, amber, green or grey)

  • If the tag needs to have the 'i' icon displayed

Filter Notes

Once notes have been added to a vacancy, you can filter these based on the user(s) who has posted or via the tag(s) that have been selected against notes.

To filter notes, click on the 'Filter by Users' or 'Filter by Tags' and select the relevant options from the dropdowns:

Filters can be applied across both dropdowns to find specific notes left by user(s) and tag(s).
