- Classic Recruiter Experience -
In the Talent Community tab of Recruiting, you can search for candidates based on their name or based on the information in their candidate profile using the search field at the top of the tab:
To search for candidates in the talent community:
- Go to Recruiting > Talent Community.
- Do one of the following:
- To search by candidate name, select the Search by Name checkbox, and then enter a first name, last name, or any combination of the two in the search field.
- To search by candidate info, clear the Search by Name checkbox, and then enter one or more keywords in the search field. This can be a particular skill, a company name, a location, or any other information that might be in a job application.
- For example, enter 'graphic designer' and all of the candidates who have at least one of these words (that is, 'graphic' or 'designer') in their job application history are displayed.
- Important: When using the full text search field to search based on candidate info, you must ensure that you have at least one of the semantic search parameters configured at all times. By default, the Language parameter is set to your own language, and you can use the full text search field. See Run a Semantic Search.
- Click the search button or press Enter to search the database for candidates matching your criteria.
How Search Results are Displayed
Search results are returned as follows:
- Candidate Names: Returns candidates whose name fully or partially matches the name that you entered. For example, a search for 'Robert' would return both 'Robert Smith' and 'Dennis Robertson'.
- Candidate Info: Returns candidates if one or more of the keywords that you entered appear in their application history. For example, a search for 'graphic designer' would return all of the candidates who mentioned 'graphic' or 'designer' in their job application.
Results are displayed by relevance, depending on how closely they match the search criteria. Continuing the example above, candidate applications containing the exact phrase 'graphic designer' rank higher than those that might only contain one of the keywords, 'graphic' or 'designer'.
The scale to the right of each candidate's name provides a visual representation of how well they match the search criteria:
