There are some important differences in the way runners work in comparison to agents:

They will self-select jobs from the scopes you've defined automatically.
- You can also [use tags](../runners/README.md#use-tags-to-limit-the-number-of-jobs-using-the-runner) for finer control, and
associate runners with specific jobs. For example, you can use a tag for jobs that
require dedicated, more powerful, or specific hardware.
