Every desk is different. Build your own custom fields for Candidates,
Contacts, Companies & Jobs, and turn your CRM into a database built around your business, not someone else's.
Most recruitment CRMs ship with a fixed set of fields that some product manager decided your business needs. If you track something they didn't think of, you're stuck bolting it onto a note, a spreadsheet, or your own memory. Giig flips that around. You decide what data matters, and we give you the field to hold it.
Head into Customisation Settings and add your own fields to Candidates, Contacts, Companies, or Jobs. Day rate, visa status, notice period, preferred shift pattern. If it matters to your placements, you can track it natively on the record instead of hiding it in a note nobody reads twice.
This isn't just a candidate feature. Add custom fields to Contacts, Companies and Jobs too, so you can track things like rights to work, payment terms, or key decision maker notes right where you need them.
A custom note field is where data goes to die. Every custom field you build in Giig is fully searchable, so the information you're capturing today becomes the shortlist you pull tomorrow.
You shouldn’t need a developer or a support ticket to change how your own database works.
Jump into Customisation Settings, choose the record type, and add the field yourself text, checkbox, radio, or dropdown. It’s live immediately, on every record of that type, for every user on your team.
Capturing the data is only half the job finding it again is where the true value lies.
Once you’ve built out your custom fields, you can search and filter against them exactly like any standard field.
Need every candidate with a specific visa in a niche skill and a notice period under 4 weeks? If you’re tracking it, you can search it.
Here’s some bits you might want to know!
Q: What’s the difference between Custom Fields and Custom Tagging?
A: Tags are quick labels you stick on a record to categorise it, think “Hot Candidate” or “Immediately Available.” Custom Fields hold structured data like a number or specific text, think “Notice Period” or “Day Rate.” Most desks end up using both: tags for fast filtering and custom fields for the detail behind them.
Q: Do I need my CTO or Giig’s support team to set these up?
A: No. Custom Fields live in your own Customisation Settings, so you can add, edit, or remove them yourself whenever your process changes. No tickets, no waiting on a developer.
Q: Am I restricted on the number of custom fields I can create?
A: No. Once you’re on Giig Plus, there’s no cap. Build as many custom fields as your desk needs across Candidates, Contacts, Companies, and Jobs, we’re not going to make you choose between tracking day rate and tracking notice period.
