New Candidate List: Advanced Search

The Advanced Search in the New Candidate List gives you more control when searching for candidates. It allows you to apply detailed criteria so you can confidently narrow your results and find exactly who you’re looking for.

The new Candidate List will be enabled for all customers by the end of 2025.

Dynamically Preview Search Results

As you build your search, the Show Candidates button will automatically update to reflect the number of matching results. This dynamic count lets you see how effective your criteria are before running the full search.

Each time you adjust a keyword or filter, the result count updates in real time, so you can fine-tune your search without the guesswork.
