With Teamtailor, you and your team can easily add comments to your candidates. Add notes, share feedback, or store important details directly on the candidate’s profile. This streamlines your work, improves communication, and supports smarter decision-making.

Start by clicking Comment in the action bar or Comments in the sidebar on the candidate card. Here you’ll see all previously added comments, as well as the option to add your own.

Start by deciding who should be able to access your comment:

💼 Comment on job application
These comments can be accessed by the hiring team for the job and by users with Admin access.

👤 Comment on candidate

These comments can be accessed by all users with access to the candidate. This includes users through a hiring team, a group, or those with Admin access.

🌎 Visibility

You may want to hide sensitive comments from certain users. To limit the comment's visibility, click the globe icon before posting it by selecting the users who should have access.

Hidden comments will have a padlock icon added next to them and will only be shown for the selected users.

Different types of formatting are supported in comments to ensure you and your team can express yourself and easily highlight information.

When marking text, you can format it using Bold, Italics, Bulleted lists, and Links.

Make sure your comment reaches the right team members by mentioning them.
When you mention someone, they’ll be notified according to their notification settings.
​
To add a mention, click or type @ on your keyboard, then select the user(s) you want to notify. Available users to mention depend on the type of comment and access:

You can attach a file to your comment, which is useful for adding additional documentation. To do this, click the 📎 icon and select the file you want to attach.
