Adding comments on an applicant

Comments can include reminders to you about the applicant or notes to other users on your account who have access to the applicant.

Applicants cannot see and will not be notified about the comments you make on them. However, any user on your CareerPlug account who has access to the applicant will be able to see comments left on the applicant and make their own comments on the applicant.

1. To leave a comment, navigate to your Applicants page.

2. Click the three-dots icon to the far right of an applicant's name and select Add Comment from the drop-down menu.

Need help finding an applicant? Click the " X" on the right edge of the Job Status: Active filter to remove it. This filter — which is on by default any time you log into CareerPlug — hides applicants from your closed, passive, and draft jobs from view.

3. Enter your comment in the open field in the Comments drawer.

4. Click the Add Comment button.

If the applicant already has a comment added, clicking the View Details link will give you the opportunity to add another comment.

All comments also live on the applicant's All Activity tab.

Comments can be deleted from the All Activity tab of an applicant's profile. To avoid the accidental removal of important information, we do not recommend deleting comments.
