New Candidate List: Saved Search Migration

If you're transitioning to the New Candidate List, your saved searches (also called "Favorite Searches") from the legacy Candidate List will be automatically migrated. However, since some search fields behave differently in the new list, we recommend all users review and adjust their saved search criteria for accuracy before running them.

Key Differences to be Aware of:

  • Field Behavior Changes: Some fields may function differently or may not be supported yet in the New Candidate List. We recommend reviewing any migrated saved searches and updating the criteria as needed.

  • Saved Search Sharing: Previously shared saved searches will now be shared with all users in your corporation. We are actively working on more granular sharing controls, such as the ability to share with specific departments. These enhancements are planned for a future release.

Where to Find Your Saved Searches

You can access your saved searches by clicking the Saved button at the top of the Candidate List.

You can also find saved searches on the right side of the Quick Search view, accessed by clicking on the search bar:

The list of saved searches will also include public saved searches created by other users. For more information about how saved searches work on the New Candidate List, see New Candidate List: Saved Searches and Recent Searches.

Unsupported Fields in Saved Searches

Some fields used in legacy saved searches are not yet fully supported in the New Candidate List. While we’re working to expand support in upcoming releases, we recommend reviewing any migrated saved searches that include the following fields:

  • Date Filter Equals

  • Address Fields

  • Advanced Note Search

  • Advanced Credential Search

  • Category

  • File Attachments

  • Work History

  • Education History

  • References

  • Number Fields with Operator "Equals" (e.g. Birthday, phone)

  • Number Fields with Operator "Numeric Range" (e.g. Date Available within 1/1/2020 and 1/1/2025)

In some cases, the search may work as expected if you recreate it manually in the New Candidate List. If you're having trouble recreating a saved search, or if a search isn’t returning the expected results, please reach out to Bullhorn Support for assistance.
