Labels help you organize and manage groups of candidates in Handshake. You can assign a label when an application is received, then update or remove labels as the applicant moves through different stages of the hiring process.
Labels are available to Pro, Essentials, and Enterprise customers, as well as on-campus employers. For more information, please check out this resource!
