Opening Tags

You can add an Opening Tag by going into one of your job openings and clicking Add Tags:

You can free-type the name of your tag, and then select from the existing tags in your account, or select Create option “_____” to create a new tag. Afterwards, hit the blue save button.

Once you create your tags and assign them to an opening, they are visible when viewing your openings list inside of Trakstar Hire. Opening tags are visible to all users who have access inside your account to this opening.

How should I use Opening Tags?

There are many ways you can use opening tags, and here are a few examples:

Department names or IDs: Some teams use tags to indicate that an opening is a part of a specific department, or has a department code/ID associated with it.
Level of urgency: Have any openings that have a higher priority to be filled? Create a tag titled something like “High Priority”, “Urgently Hiring”, or whatever fits your needs and use that as a way to signal that opening as urgently hiring.
Distinguish which part of a department or team: The “Team” field on your opening is used to group your openings together. For example, you may have several jobs that all fall into the Sales team, and you use that Team field to group them together. However, you may want to notate that the opening is Outbound Sales versus Inbound Sales. Opening Tags would be a great way to distinguish this!
Notating a “Fill by” date: If you have a date that you’d like to have the position filled by, you can use an opening tag to notate that date. You can also utilize our auto-close feature to automatically close openings at a date that you set.
