  • Add departments

  • Add locations

  • Connect

  • Add and customize your message templates

  • Data & Privacy

  • Content & Career Site


Step 1: Setting up Departments & Roles

Working with departments is a great way to organize your entire Teamtailor account. This applies to both the recruiters working in Teamtailor and the candidates applying for the positions. 🗂️


Step 2: Setting up Locations


Working with Locations in Teamtailor is an excellent way to organize job postings. This applies to both the recruiters working in Teamtailor and the candidates applying for the different positions.


Step 3: Set up Connect

For your potential future candidates who might still need to be ready to apply for a job, we created Connect. With Connect, the candidate can tell you that they're curious about your company and which Department, Role, and location they're interested in, as well as subscribe to future job openings based on their choice. You'll have a (potentially amazing) addition to your candidate bank. Win-win! 🏆


Step 4: Creating Message templates

Here's to efficiency! Why write emails you often send, time and time again, when you can use email templates? Email templates are a great way to save time and make it easier for your users to follow your communication guidelines.


Step 5: Data and Privacy

Ensuring data compliance is a top priority for us. We understand that handling personal data within the EU comes with specific responsibilities. Our platform is built with features that make it easy for your company to stay compliant with EU regulations. Rest assured, we've got you covered regarding data protection.

Our tools are designed to simplify the compliance process, allowing you to focus on your business while we handle the legal aspects. Your peace of mind is our goal.


Step 6: Content & Career Site

Create an engaging career site that captivates potential candidates. Showcase your company culture through compelling visuals and authentic stories. Feature testimonials from satisfied employees to demonstrate the positive experiences within your organization. Incorporate interactive elements to keep visitors involved and interested.

Ensure clear and concise job information is easily accessible. Highlight growth opportunities to showcase the potential for career development. With these strategies, you can create a career site that attracts and engages top talent.


Step 7: Activate 2FA or SSO

Choose the most secure login method for your team: password, two-factor authentication (2FA), or Single Sign-On (SSO). We recommend 2FA or SSO for enhanced protection. Prioritize security by selecting the safest option that suits your needs, then follow the instructions to activate.

FAQ

What is the Activation Phase?

These webinars are a vital part of your onboarding journey at TeamTailor. They are designed to help you become familiar with TeamTailor and effectively set up your ATS platform.

What do you need on your end?

First of all, we’d recommend you assign a Project Manager to lead the project from your company - our main contact point - who will be ready to learn and collaborate with your dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM). This Project Manager will be directly involved in the ‘Activation Phase’ and steer the project during Onboarding.


Who conducts the Webinars?

Each week, one of our skilled Onboarding Specialists will lead these webinars. These specialists excel at helping customers start smoothly and complete their onboarding process. They have extensive experience working with clients from different industries and organizations of all sizes. They are well-informed about the latest product details and useful tips for successful onboarding!


How long does the onboarding process at TeamTailor typically take before I can use the platform?

We strive to accommodate your specific timeline needs. While for some clients, onboarding and going live can take just a matter of days, for others, it may extend slightly beyond 3 weeks. The exact duration depends on factors like your admin team's availability, project manager's support, and the resources at hand. On average, most clients typically complete the process in around 2 to 3 weeks.


Who can I raise questions with during the Activation Phase?


The Support Team will be ready to answer your questions during the ‘Activation Phase’. Use the pink chat widget (pink envelope in the bottom right-hand corner of the ATS) for a super fast answer, or alternatively, send your questions to this email: suppport@teamtailor.com.


Which other departments will we need support from during Onboarding?

It depends if you want to use the following tools:

  • SSO (Single Sign On). A secure tool to automate access and create users in your account with your existing corporate credentials. You will need to send this article with instructions to your IT department and let them contact our support team to set it up (support@teamtailor.com or support chat on the platform ).

  • Your career site. If a Marketing team is designing your career site, they can jump straight into Webinar Number 3 - Create your career site on Wednesdays or they can watch this pre-recorded video link. Every detail about the content tool is described in the video.

  • GDPR or Privacy settings. Do you know if your legal team needs to set up your data and privacy terms? This video describes how to set your privacy policy in Teamtailor.

Are you going to integrate with third party apps?

Do you need a data migration from your existing ATS into Teamtailor?

Data import is a paid service which should be discussed with your Sales Representative.

Our developers will take care of the import for you, and it takes up to 4 weeks for the import to be performed.


Who else will be attending these webinars?

These webinars are live sessions, so you'll be attending them alongside other TeamTailor customers. This provides an excellent opportunity for collaboration and allows for a wide range of questions to be asked. It's a valuable way to receive additional guidance and insights from different perspectives within the community.


Will you be able to ask questions?
