Using Labels to Manage Applicants

Jennifer
  • Updated

Employers can use labels in Handshake to easily organize and manage groups of candidates.

Labels help track each applicant’s status throughout the hiring process. For example, you can assign a label when an application is received, then update or remove labels as the applicant moves through different stages.
 
The labels feature is available only to premium partners and on-campus employers. For more information, please check out this resource!

 

 

Topics:

 

 

Add a label

1. Check the box next to each candidate's name you want to label. You can also check the box in the upper-right corner of the table to label all candidates shown. 

 

2. Click the white button More above the candidate panel, then select Manage labels.
