Symptom
Is it possible to mass delete Candidate Tags?
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management
Resolution
You can only delete candidate tags by going to the individual Candidate's profile or application and delete the tags from there. Based on the current system designed, the option to mass delete candidate tags is not possible.
There was an enhancement request about this, but Product Management have decided not to enhance the candidate tags feature anymore, as we are now offering Talent Pools as part of the CRM feature.
Note: Given the way that data storage happens for Candidate Tags, system will store the entry created for the Tag even though it were deleted; in other words, the Tag disappears from Candidate Profile view but will be searchable in Candidate Search (Once the tag is removed for a candidate , the candidate will not be searchable with the tag in candidate search, but will be searchable without the tag).It is expected also to see the Tag in Application History (like "Old Value"), as the entry for that Tag tied to Candidate will be kept by system.
