Overview

Super Admin can create an unlimited number of Categories to be tagged to jobs and used as a filtering tool for candidates on the external job board, as well as internally on the candidate list and vacancy dashboard.

Create and edit categories

To edit, add or delete Categories for your organization, navigate to the Settings page (under your name on the top right menu).

From here add a new Category by clicking the +New Category button. Add as many Categories as needed here but remember to keep them candidate-friendly and intuitive.

To edit Categories, click the pencil icon next to the Category name, add your changes, and then save.

To delete a Category, click the x next to the Category name.

Tagging jobs

Super Admin and District Admin can tag an unlimited number of Categories to a job posting on the job edit page. To do so, navigate to the internal jobs page, create or edit a job, and select the applicable Categories to add to the posting.

External job board

For candidates, categories are used to filter the job board for what they're looking for, so you’ll want to add as many Categories as relevant to make searching for a job as intuitive as possible.

Candidate list

Categories are also used internally on the candidate list. Any internal user can filter by categories in the Job Category filter section on the left side of the Candidates > View all page.

When this filter is on, it limits the candidate list to applicants for those jobs tagged with the relevant category. For example, if you filtered for the Special Education job category, the candidate list would show only candidates who had applied for jobs labeled as Special Education.

Dashboards

Categories can also be used to filter on the vacancy dashboard, helping you create subsets of data based on different categories like STEM, hard to fill, etc.
