Zoho Recruit Adding Tags in Zoho Recruit

Tags are important in recruitment because they help to categorize and organize job postings, resumes, and other relevant information. This can make it easier for recruiters and hiring managers to find and review relevant candidates and job openings.
 
For example, if a company is looking to fill a position for a software engineer, they might use tags such as "software engineer," "Java," "Python," or "computer science" to help identify candidates with relevant skills and experience. Similarly, job seekers can use tags to highlight their relevant skills and experience, making it easier for recruiters to find their resumes and consider them for job openings.
 
Zoho Recruit's colored Tags let you to categorize records for easy access and viewing. Tags specific to a module can be viewed contextually, so only candidate tags are displayed in the Candidate module Filters. Furthermore, you can add a color to each tag and identify them in a snap.

Adding tags to your records in Zoho Recruit can make hiring easier in a number of ways:
  1. Improved organization: By categorizing and tagging your candidates, jobs, and clients, you can create a more organized and structured system for storing and accessing your data. This can make it easier to find specific records and filter your lists to show only relevant results.
  2. Enhanced searching: With tags, you can search for specific candidates, jobs, or clients by tag name, making it easier to find the records you need. For example, if you tag all of your candidates with the job title they are applying for, you can easily search for all candidates who have applied for a specific job by searching for the corresponding tag.
  3. Simplified filtering: In addition to searching by tag name, you can also filter your lists of candidates, jobs, and clients by tag. This allows you to quickly and easily narrow down your results to show only records with specific tags.
Overall, adding tags to your records in Zoho Recruit can help you save time and effort by making it easier to find and access the data you need, whether you are searching, filtering, or simply browsing through your lists.
Example: 
Let's say you shortlisted 20 candidates from a campus drive at ABC University. Simply add a tag named ABC to all 20 records in bulk. Similarly, you can also use the Posting Title, Department, or even Work Type as a tag. Basically, anything that helps you identify said records from a list of candidates will work! 

This will help you access all 20 records in a matter of seconds instead of spending time doing a manual search.
