Searching for Candidates Options
You can find and access a candidate's profile through a variety of methods. Open the menus below to learn more about each path.
In the top-right corner of your homepage, you'll find the Candidates Omni-search bar.
This feature is most commonly used when you know the name of the candidate whose profile you need to access. Simply type the first or last name of the candidate to return a list of candidates that match the criteria. Select the candidate you're looking for to load their candidate profile.
For more information on the Candidates Omni Search feature, check out this article.
Within each individual requisition, you'll find a Candidates tab that lists candidate profiles for each person who applied to that specific requisition.
You can use the Candidates search option in the top-right of this page to locate a specific candidate for whom you know their name.
Using the Tools menu, located at the top of your homepage, select Recruiting. Then, click on the Candidates tab. By default, you'll be shown a list of candidates that have applied to your Open requisitions. Use the menu to switch the Candidates list to show All Candidates From All Requisitions or type the name of specific requisition to narrow the candidate results.
To narrow the list of candidates even further, click the FILTERS button, found in the top-left of the Candidates page. Select the filtering criteria you need and click APPLY FILTERS to return candidates who match those criteria.
Using the Tools menu, located at the top of your homepage, select Recruiting. Then, click on the Search tab. On the Candidate Search page, click Advanced Search.
