🔍Search for candidates

How to search for candidates in the system, and user filters and search criteria to find the types of candidates you're looking for

To search for candidates, first navigate to the Candidates page using the top navigation bar:

The Candidates page is divided into three sections:

1. Search bar - this is where you can enter keywords or quickly add other filters

2. Filters - where you can add or remove filters

3. Candidate summaries - a list of candidates matching your search criteria

Search

To filter candidates by specific keywords you can enter them in the search bar and select Keyword in the drop-down:

Candidates will be ranked by the number of keyword matches across their profile, including their CV, preferences and tags extracted from their CV.

Filters

There are a number of different filters you can use to search through candidates in the system.

To apply a filter, select an option or enter a value and then click the Update Results.

To remove a filter click the Clear button next to the filter name.

Location

Enter a location and set a radius to filter candidates geographically

Function

Filter candidates by their function preferences they provided on sign-up

Skills

Filter candidates by hard and soft skills, extracted from their CV

Tip: this filter can reduce your search results quite considerably, as there are a lot of different skills, so it’s a filter that’s best used in moderation
