Teamtailor has always believed that transparency and teamwork are core elements in successful recruitment, so one of our missions is to provide you with a platform that makes this easy. This is why we enable your hiring teams to collaborate directly in the job process!

One of the components of the recruitment process is the Comments section which is the place for you and your team to collaborate. It’s conveniently placed in the sidebar within each job, so you can keep your team discussions and comments seamlessly integrated with your recruitment process.

The Comments section is available for all your hiring team members and is a great place to talk about everything related to this recruitment process to make sure you have everything in one place.

Start by clicking Comments located in the sidebar within the job process. Here you will be able to find previously written comments by the hiring team members and this is also where you can add your own comments.

Make sure to get the attention of the right team member/s, by adding a mention. When mentioning a team member, a notification is sent (based on your colleagues' notification settings). You can also add an @team mention, to mention all hiring team members.

Add a mention by clicking the @ button, or add it from your keyboard. Once the @ is added, you can select the team member/s to ping.

You have the option to add attachments to your comments. Just click the paperclip icon and select the file you want to attach.

You need to add text in the comment to be able to upload the comment/attachment.

You can choose who will be able to view the comment, to control visibility. To do so, pick which people should have access to the comment before posting it. The default setting is that everybody with access to the hiring team can see the comment, and is indicated with the earth globe icon right next to the post button.

To limit the visibility of the comment, click the earth globe and select which users should be able to see the comment. Keep in mind that all users with Company admin access will be able to see all comments, including private ones.

When a private comment is published, this is indicated with a padlock icon. Hover over it to see who can access the comment.

To make comments even more easily accessible for the entire hiring team, you can pin them. Hover over the comment, and click the pin icon like so:

You find all the job’s pinned comments added under Comments in the job’s sidebar with an indication of how many pinned comments there are. When hovering over the pin icon, the pinned comment/s unfolds and can be read.

In the screenshot above, only one comment has been pinned. You can pin as many comments as you want, but the more you pin the harder it might be for your team to easily digest the information.

You can add reaction/s to any added comment. Simply, hover over the comment, and click Add reaction. You can also add the same reaction as another team member, by clicking on the reaction already added.

After you have published a comment, you can edit and delete the comment. Hover over the comment and click the three buttons on the right-hand side.
