Private Notes and Shared Comments

SeekOut has several features that let you add additional information about candidates. Private Notes and Shared Comments are two similar -- but distinct -- features for adding information to a candidate record. 

To add a note or comment to a candidate, click the three-dot menu button on their profile and select Add Private Note or Add Shared Comment.

Private Notes you add show up up anywhere you see that candidate in SeekOut -- in search results or in any project. Notes are personal to you. Only you can see your notes. Notes are useful when you always want to associate something with that candidate.

Shared Comments are specific to a project. Comments can only be added to a candidate when viewing them within a project. They don't appear next to the candidate in search results or in a different project. Comments are shared with anyone who has access to the project. They are great for adding feedback about that candidate's fit with a specific role or sharing information with your colleagues or hiring managers.
