Tagging candidates

Group and segment candidates with searchable tags.

Written by Amritanshu Anand

Tags are free-form labels you attach to candidate profiles to group and segment candidates by any attribute that matters to your workflow — skill specialty, lead source, conference where you met them, hot prospect, do-not-contact, anything you want to track and find later. Tags are searchable, so once a candidate carries a tag, you can pull up everyone with that tag in one search.

Add a tag to a single candidate

  1. Open the candidate's profile.

  2. Click Add Tag.

  3. Start typing. Recruiterflow auto-suggests previously used tags as you type.

  4. Pick an existing tag from the suggestions, or type a new label and press Enter to create one.

Practical example

You meet 40 prospects at a recruiting conference and add them to Recruiterflow over the following week. Tag all of them with event-recruitfest-2026. Two months later, when a backend engineer role opens up, search that tag, layer on a Skills filter for "Python," and you have a ready shortlist of warm candidates from a single networking event.

Things to know

  • Tags are workspace-wide. The auto-suggest pulls from every tag your team has used.

  • Bulk tagging only adds the new tag to the selected candidates. Tags already on those profiles are preserved.
