The selected labels will automatically apply to all candidates invited during that session.

Add Labels to Public Links
You can assign labels while creating or editing assessment public links.
Steps
-
Go to:
Assessment Settings → Access → Public Links
- Click Add
- Click the “Add +” option
- Search, select, or create labels
- Save the public link
Candidates accessing the assessment through that public link will be associated with the selected labels.

Responsive Label Layout Behavior
To maintain a clean and organized interface, labels now behave responsively across the platform.
If Labels Fit in One Line
Labels appear beside the title.
If Labels Exceed One Line
All labels automatically move to a new row below the title.
This ensures:
- Better readability
- Stable UI layout
- No shifting of surrounding elements
This behavior is consistent across:
- Candidate Invite
- Bulk Invite
- Public Link Creation
- Other sections using labels
Best Practices
- Use labels for hiring stages, departments, campaigns, or recruiter ownership
- Keep naming conventions consistent
- Use searchable labels for easier filtering and reporting
- Avoid duplicate or similar label names
