Let’s talk about writing comments connected to your candidates. With Teamtailor, you can add different types of information directly onto the candidate’s profile. This will make your work easier, improve communication, and enable better decisions. Win-win-win!

Start by opening a candidate’s profile and click on Comment in the action bar. In this sidebar you see all previously added comments, and also where you can add your own.

Ensure you get the attention of the right user(s) by mentioning them in your comment. When you mention a team member, they'll be notified based on their notifications settings.

To add a mention, click the "@" icon or type "@" on your keyboard, and then select the user(s) you want to ping.
​

You can attach files to your comments. This is useful for uploading additional documentation like test assignments for example. Just click the "📎" icon and select the file you want to attach. Please note, that you need to include text in the comment section to be able to upload an attachment.

The file will be uploaded in the comment and also added under the Documents section on the left-hand side of the candidate's profile.

Start by deciding where the comment should be added.
