Candidate Advanced Search

Overview

The Advanced Search tool helps you find candidates when you don't have a specific profile in mind. Instead of a basic name search, this tool scans deeper into candidate records. You can type in any keyword and search the entire profile, or tell the system to look only in one specific place, like inside a CV or interview notes.

 

How to Use Advanced Search

To search for more details in your candidate profile:

  1. Go to the left menu and click on Candidates.
  2. At the top of the page, click the Advanced Search tab.
  3. Click the Add filter button to open the search panel on the right.
  4. In the Keyword search box, type the word or phrase you are looking for and apply any filters. (You can leave the dropdown on Include).
  5. Click Apply Filter at the bottom right to see your results.

 

Want to search for more than one word? Click the yellow + button to add another keyword row. To remove a row, click the button.

Choosing a Specific Keyword Location

By default, the system looks everywhere. If you want to be more specific, click the dropdown under Keyword location to tell the system exactly where to look for your word:

  • Current company: Only looks at the name of the company where the candidate works right now.
  • CV text: Looks only inside the text of the candidate's uploaded CV/Resume file.
  • Interview report: Searches only through the notes written during interviews.
  • Notes: Searches through the general internal comments left on their profile by recruiters.
  • Past company: Only looks at the names of companies where the candidate used to work.

 

Filtering by Candidate Profile Details

Below the keyword options, you can narrow down your search even further by filling in specific details about your ideal candidate.
