Job tags

Freeform labels that cut across categories, with bulk cleanup.

Written by Traian

Tags are lightweight labels that cut across your categories. A job has one category ("Kitchen & Culinary") but can carry many tags ("Fine Dining", "Weekend Availability", "Food Safety"). Use them for seniority, tech stack, perks, certifications, anything worth filtering by that does not deserve its own category.

See your tags

  1. In the sidebar, open Content and click Tags.

  2. You see every tag with its Name, Alias (the URL slug) and Active state. Use the search box to find a tag by name.

The Tags list showing eight sample tags such as Barista and Fine Dining with their aliases and active badges

A new board comes with a handful of sample tags (badge included). Edit one and it becomes yours.

Create a tag

  1. On the Tags page, click Add tag.

  2. Fill in Name (required), for example "Fine Dining".

  3. Alias auto-fills from the name (here: fine-dining) and becomes the tag's URL on your board, like /jobs/fine-dining. Edit it only if you want a different slug; lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens only.

  4. Leave Active on, and click Add tag.

You get a "Tag saved" confirmation and the tag opens in edit mode. Switching Active off later hides the tag from the board and the job form but keeps it here, and keeps it on the jobs that already have it.

Attach tags to a job

  1. In the sidebar, open Recruiting and click Jobs, then edit (or create) a job.

  2. In the Tags field, click Select tags.

  3. A searchable list of your active tags opens. Type to filter, click tags to toggle them; selected ones show as removable chips under the button.

  4. Save the job.

A job can carry up to 30 tags. If a tag on the job was later deactivated, it still shows in the picker so you can remove it, but it is no longer suggested for new jobs.

Tags on your public board

Visitors filter jobs by tag, and each tag has its own landing URL built from the alias. Those tag pages are real, indexable pages, which makes consistent tagging an SEO asset: "remote fine dining jobs" is exactly the kind of page a niche board can win. You can go further and give your best tag pages custom copy with the SEO toolkit and SEO landing pages.

Tag imported jobs automatically

If your board imports jobs from feeds, you do not need to tag them by hand. Create an auto-tagger rule with the action "Add tags": every imported job whose title or description matches your terms gets the tags on arrival.

Rename with care

Jobs store the tag names they were saved with, not references. That has two consequences worth knowing:

  • Renaming a tag does not rewrite existing jobs. Jobs tagged "Fine Dining" keep that exact label even if you rename the tag to "Upscale Dining", and they stop matching the renamed tag's filter. After a rename, re-save the affected jobs with the new tag (or, for imported jobs, add an Add tags rule and re-apply it).

  • Renaming or editing a sample tag clears its Sample badge, making it a permanent part of your board.

Bulk cleanup

  1. On the Tags page, tick the checkboxes next to the tags you want to remove (the header checkbox selects the whole page).

  2. In the bar that appears above the table, click Delete, then confirm.

A toast confirms how many tags were deleted. Deleting a tag removes it from the board's filters; keep in mind that, as above, a listing that already carried the tag keeps showing the label until you edit that job. Prefer deactivating when you are not sure.
