Merge fields are named 'Tags' inside the Cornerstone recruitment system.

How do I find the tags/merge fields inside our recruitment system?

We have a complete list of all Tags/merge fields that you can use to pick up data from your Cornerstone recruitment system. Available tags may vary based on email type.

Other than the merge data available in the list below, you can also use custom tags. Custom tags use CUSTOM prefix.

Example: CUSTOM.SALARY_LEVEL
