Who can use this feature?
Tags are only available in LinkedIn Recruiter, not in Recruiter Lite. If you don't have a Recruiter subscription, you can contact our Sales team to get a demo of Tags and learn more about Recruiter.
You can add a tag to a profile in LinkedIn Recruiter to help you categorize candidates. Tags are defined by administrators on your Recruiter dashboard.
Tags have the following features:
- You can apply tags to multiple candidate profiles at once to help you categorize candidates.
- When you run an advanced search in Recruiter, you can enter a tag name in the Tags filter field and select the relevant tag from the dropdown to include or exclude specific candidates from your search results.
- All recruiters on your Recruiter contract can see the tags you add to a profile.
- Tags are singular and you can’t create a tag that’s nested within a tag.
To add a tag to a profile you’re viewing:
-
On a candidate’s profile, click the
Add icon in the Tags section under Recruiting Tools. -
Click the Search tags field and select Show all tags from the dropdown.
-
Click the box(es) next to the tag(s) you’d like to add to the profile and click Update at the bottom of the list of tags.
