Creating and applying tags

Last updated: April 9, 2026

Tags are free-text labels that help your team organize, categorize, and quickly find candidates across your pipeline. You can add tags to individual candidates or to multiple candidates at once, and then use them as filters to pull up specific groups instantly. Tags are stored at the contact level — so a tag applied to a candidate is visible across all jobs they are associated with.

Tags – Section Overview

Tags can be created and applied from two places in Kula:

  • Contacts page: your full talent database across all jobs

  • Job → Candidates tab: the candidate list within a specific job.

Adding a tag to a single candidate

You can add a tag directly from the candidates list view or from the candidate’s profile.

  1. From the contact's page:

    1. Open the contact's profile.

    2. Locate the Tags field: in the profile details.

    3. Type a tag name: and press Enter to add it.

  1. From the Candidates list inside a job:

    1. Open a job: go to the Candidates tab.

    2. Find the candidate: you want to tag in the list.

    3. Click on the tag field: in the candidate’s row.

    4. Type the tag name: and press Enter to apply it. Existing tags in your account will appear as suggestions as you type.

Note: Tags are free-text — there is no pre-set list. Any text you type becomes a tag. Align with your team on naming conventions to keep tags consistent.

Adding tags to multiple candidates at once

Use bulk tagging to apply a tag to several candidates in one action.

    1. Navigate to Contacts.

    2. Select the contacts: you want to tag using the checkboxes.

    3. Click three dots: in the action bar at the bottom of the page.

    4. Select Add Tags.

    5. Type the tag name: and confirm. The tag is applied to all selected contacts.

Note: Bulk tagging adds the tag to all selected candidates without removing any tags already on those profiles.

Note: Removing a tag from one candidate does not affect other candidates who have the same tag applied. Tags are removed individually per candidate.
