Craft and Save Specialized Job Seeker Searches

Located in the Job Seekers page header, the basic Search bar also accommodates an advanced Search, which can be saved for later application. Advanced Searches can be combined with Filters to create precise views.

Create an Advanced Search

  1. Choose Requisition(s)
    To begin, apply the Requisition drop-down Filter to:
      All (Requisitions)
      OR
      [Specific Requisition Number]
  2. Select Save Options
    From the Save Options menu, select the radio button for: New; and enter the: View Name.

    Quick Tip: If no views are saved, the system selects: New.

  3. Save the View for Future Use
    (Recommended) Check the box adjacent to the message: Save this view for later use. Once saved, the View will appear in the Existing drop-down for future selection.

    Quick Tip: A banner, listing Saved Views, will appear at the top of the Home page Dashboard.

  4. Add Fields to View
    For All Requisitions (or a selected Requisition), navigate to the Add Fields to View menu. Using the default Find menu (or sub-tab), type in a keyword, and click [Go]. From the Search results, which display below the menu, choose the [Field Name], and it will be included, as a bar, in the menu: Optional Fields Included in View.

    Quick Tip: Not all keyword Searches will produce results. To see what optional fields are available for your Implementation, click [Change FIelds] on the Job Seekers list, and review the entries. ( Close the menu, without saving any changes.)

    The optional fields can be reordered for the Job Seekers tab by clicking and dragging one or more bars to create the desired order.

    (After selecting a specific Requisition in step 1 only) To hone in on a particular Form field, click on the Forms sub-tab, which will appear in the Addi Fields to View menu. Select one of the provided links for a [Field Name]. The corresponding Question will also display to aid in selecting the field.

  5. Apply View Settings
    When you are finished determining the View settings (as described above), select [Apply Search] to view the Job Seekers tab, based on the entered Customize View settings.

Search Resumes to Create a Custom Job Seekers List

Navigate to the Resume Search menu, and enter one or more terms to be found in Resume content. Then click [Apply Search].

Example: To review applicants who listed prior supervisor-level sales experience on their Resumes, enter “sales and supervisor”.

Other Customize View Tools

Delete a Field from the Optional Fields Table

To delete a field, added according to step 4 above, click the [Delete] button to the right of the entry. Continue with the appropriate steps to save, build, and apply this change to the View, as described above.
