Job tags help you organize jobs by the information that matters to your team, such as priority, office, budget code, or recruiter. You can use them to filter and group your jobs, making it easier to find the roles you need.

Job tags are separate from candidate tags. Adding a tag to a job won’t add it to your candidate tags, and the other way around.

Tags are in the job editor, alongside the job title and department.

Open the job and click Edit.

Go to Job details and find Tags in the Basic info section.

Click +, then start typing. Select a matching tag to apply it.

To create a new tag, type its full name and select Create new tag.

To remove a tag, click the x on it.

Click Save to keep your changes.

Job templates can have tags too. Open the template, go to Job details, and use the Tags field in Basic info. Jobs created from the template will start with those tags applied.

Workflow automations can apply tags for you, so nobody has to remember.

Use the Add tags action to tag a job when something happens in your process. You can also go the other way and use When a job is tagged as a trigger, either for any tag or for one specific tag.

Tags are available as a column only in the Table layout.

Go to Jobs.

Click the three dots in the top-right corner, then click View settings.

At the top of the panel, switch the layout to Table.

Open Properties. Under Hidden, select Tags.

The Tags column now shows all tags on each job. Drag the column to reorder it, or drag its edge to resize it.

Once your jobs are tagged, there are three ways back to them.

Choose Is any of to show jobs with at least one selected tag, Is all of to show jobs with every selected tag, or Is none of to show jobs with none of the selected tags. To find jobs with any tag, choose Is any. To find jobs without tags, choose Is none. Then select the tags you want to filter by.

Go to Jobs, click the three dots in the top-right corner, and open View settings. Then choose Groups > Group by > Tags.

Your jobs list will show a section for each tag. Untagged jobs appear under Without tags. A job with multiple tags appears in each matching group, so the group counts may add up to more than your total number of jobs. In the Board layout, you can choose Tags for your swimlanes to show the same groups as rows.

Job tag is available in your reports as both a filter and a breakdown. Use it to compare how groups of jobs perform — for example, time to hire for everything tagged Hard to fill against the rest of your roles.

Job tags sync to your careers site, where they do two jobs: they give candidates extra context on a role, and they give you a way to control which jobs a page lists.

In the CareersHub editor, open the block you want to change and turn tags on:

On a job list, you can show a Tag filter so candidates can narrow the list themselves. The filter is built from the tags actually present on the jobs shown, so candidates never see a tag that leads to an empty result.

Prefilters let a job list block show only the jobs you choose. Open the block’s prefilters, turn on Tag, and add the tags you want. It’s how you build a page that lists only your Graduate roles, or only the jobs tagged for one office.

If you’ve embedded the Recruitee jobs widget on your own website, you can restrict it to specific tags. Go to Settings > Jobs widget and use the Filter by tags section to pick which jobs the widget shows.

Keep your tag list organized by updating duplicates, correcting typos, and removing tags you no longer need.

Go to Settings > Workflow > Tags & Sources and open the Tags for jobs tab.

The table lists every job tag and the number of jobs and job templates using it, so you can see which tags are still in use.

On the Tags for jobs tab, click + New.

Enter a tag name and press Enter. Repeat to create more tags. Each name appears as a chip. Click Add tags.

Find the tag in the table. Use the search field if needed. Click the pencil icon next to its name. Enter the new name and click Save. If the name matches an existing tag, Tellent Recruitee offers to merge the two tags instead.

Merge multiple tags into one to combine duplicates or similar tags. Jobs using any of the selected tags will use the merged tag. Select the tags you want to combine using the checkboxes. Click Merge.

Enter a name for the merged tag, then click Merge to confirm.

Select the tags you want to delete using the checkboxes.

Click Delete, then confirm in the dialog.

Here are five ways teams can use job tags in Tellent Recruitee to organize jobs and make information easier to find.

A retailer needs to hire store managers before opening three new locations. The recruitment team tags these jobs High priority and pins the Tag filter to its jobs list. Each morning, recruiters can filter the list to see which openings need attention first.

A recruitment team shares responsibility for 30 open jobs. It tags each job with the name of the recruiter responsible for it, then groups the jobs list by tag. During weekly planning, the team uses this view to spot uneven workloads and discuss who can take on another role.

A software company finds that some specialist engineering roles take longer to fill than other jobs. The team tags these roles Hard to fill and breaks down its time-to-hire report by job tag. This helps it check how much longer those roles take and set more realistic timelines with hiring managers.

A company recruits graduates across its finance, sales, and engineering teams. It tags all entry-level jobs Graduate and adds a job list filtered by that tag to its graduate careers page. Candidates can find relevant openings in one place, even when the jobs belong to different departments.

A company’s finance team uses cost-center codes to track hiring budgets. The recruitment team adds the relevant code as a tag on each job. When a question comes up about a job’s budget, recruiters can find the code in Recruitee and use it to identify the matching cost center.
