Changing the Find Column Layout

Learn how to configure which column headers appear in your Find (Fast Find) results page in Bullhorn.

Adjusting Find columns ensures your team sees the most relevant data when searching across Candidates, Jobs, Contacts, or Companies — improving efficiency and reducing the need to open full records.

Before You Begin

Before modifying the Find column layout, confirm the following:

  • Field Mappings first: The field must first exist and be visible (not hidden) in Field Mappings to appear as an option.

  • Permissions: Only Administrators or users with View Layout access can modify Find layouts.

  • Private Label scope: Changes affect all users under the same Private Label.

  • Tracks: If your system uses Job or Opportunity tracks, select the correct one before editing.

  • Performance note: Displaying more than seven columns may slow results or cause Find to fail to load.

  • Saving your changes: Save your changes on one layout tab before moving to another tab, entity, or private label. If you have unsaved changes, you're prompted to confirm before you switch or leave the page.

Steps to Modify the Find Column Layout

  1. Go to Menu > Admin > View Layout.

  2. If necessary, select the correct Private Label.

  3. From the Entity drop-down, select the entity you want to edit (for example, Candidate, Job, Company, or Contact).

    • If you’re changing the Job or Opportunity entity, select the first track.

  4. Select the Fast Find tab.

  5. In the Fast Find section, move fields into or out of view:

    • Fields in Include in view appear as columns in the Find results.

    • Fields in Exclude from view are hidden from results.

    Move a field by doing one of the following:

    • Drag it to the other list.

    • Double-click it.

    • Select it and click the arrow button.

    Reorder fields by dragging a field to a new position, or by selecting it and using the Move up, Move down, Move left, and Move right arrows.

    Each list shows a field count and has its own search box. Use the search box to find a field quickly.

  6. Click Save.

  7. Log out and back in to apply your changes.

For best performance, keep no more than seven columns in Include in view. Adding more may slow results or prevent them from displaying.
