This article covers Tags and Statuses within SeekOut, as well as how team administrators can manage tags and statuses for their organization.
Tags
Tags are used to assign attributes to candidates in SeekOut. You can apply a tag to any candidate profile by clicking the three dots ⋮ on their profile, then selecting Add Tag.
Note: If you're viewing a candidate within a project, the Add Tag button will be visible on their profile without needing to click the three-dot icon ⋮
Choose a tag from the dropdown menu that appears on the profile. By default, the following tags are available for you to choose from:
Do Not Contact
Ignore
Priority
Rockstar
Tags are visible to all SeekOut users within your organization.
Tagging Candidates in Bulk
Multiple candidates in a project can be tagged at one time. Go to your project, select the candidates you want to tag by checking the box next to their profile, then click More at the top of the candidate list and select Tag X.
Statuses
Statuses are used to set the current stage a candidate is in within a project. You can apply a status to a candidate by opening a project, then clicking the pencil icon next to the status at the top right of their profile and selecting a status from the dropdown list.
By default, the following statuses are available for you to choose from:
Applied
Contacted
Not Contacted
Not Qualified
Screened
None
Statuses are only visible within the project where they are applied.
Managing Tags and Statuses (Admins Only)
Admins can create and manage custom Tags and Statuses to help organize candidate workflows across the organization.
How to Add a New Tag or Status
Click your name at the bottom left of the SeekOut dashboard.
Select Team Administration.
Go to the Org Settings tab.
Click the blue Create Tag/Status button.
Enter a unique name and click Save.
⚠️ Tags and statuses must have unique names—duplicates are not allowed.

In the Org Settings tab, locate the tag or status you want to change.
Click Edit to rename it or Delete to remove it.
Note: Availability of this feature depends on your plan. If it’s not visible in your account and you’d like more details, please reach out to your dedicated CSM or contact [email protected]
