New Candidate List: Quick Search

This article covers the Quick Search feature in the New Candidate List. Use Quick Search to instantly locate saved and recent searches. This helps you get to the right records faster and maintain your workflow momentum.

You’ll typically use Quick Search when you want to:

  • Re-run a search you used recently.

  • Search by a keyword that matches a saved or recent search title.

What is Quick Search?

Quick Search gives you fast access to recent and saved candidate searches directly from the Candidate List. It’s designed to help you quickly recall previous searches and find candidates without needing to dive into the Advanced Search.

When you open Quick Search, you'll see:

  • Recent Searches on the left: Your recently used search criteria.

  • Saved Searches on the right: Any saved searches you've saved or that others have shared with you.

As you type in the Quick Search bar, the list filters automatically to show searches with names that include your typed keywords.
