# Resource Labels
Think of them as structured fields you define once, then apply for filtering and organization as your account grows.
**Different from Interview Tags** — Those are set on the **voice/video Tags** tab so the AI **extracts** answers into the candidate report. Resource Labels are **workspace labels** you define in **Data** and apply for organization and filtering.
### Why use labels
When you have many postings and candidates, labels keep everything organized:
* **Filter by department**: Tag postings/candidates by department (Engineering, Sales, Support)
* **Track hiring stage**: Capture where someone is in your process
* **Organize by location**: Office, region, or remote vs on-site
* **Custom categories**: Any dimension your team agrees on (priority, business unit, etc.)
### Creating a label definition
1. Go to **Data → Resource Labels** in the sidebar
2. Open **Create Label Definition**
You’ll see: *Create a new label that can be applied to postings, interviews, and candidates.*
| Field | What to enter |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Key** | Unique id (examples: `priority`, `location`, `department`). Stored **lowercase with underscores** (e.g. `hiring_region`). |
| **Display Name** | What people see in the UI (examples: **Priority**, **Location**, **Department**). |
| **Description** | What this label is for and when to use it. |
| **Value type** | e.g. Text, Number, Picklist, Yes/No |
| **Required** | **On** = must be filled when it applies; **off** = optional. |
Click **Create Label** to save, or **Cancel** to close without saving.
### Applying labels
Once a label definition is created, you can apply it directly from your Interviewers list.
1. Go to **Interviewers** in the sidebar
2. Find the posting you want to tag
3. Click the tag icon in the **Labels** column
4. Select the label, choose a value, and click **Apply**
The label will appear on that posting and can be used to filter across your workspace.
Don't see the Labels column? Click **Columns** in the top right of your Interviewers list and make sure **Labels** is toggled on.
Labels can also be applied to individual candidates and interviews from their respective pages.
**Tips:** Keep **keys** stable; use **Display Name** for wording changes. Prefer a **small set** of labels so the team actually uses them.
