Advanced Search

Advanced Search helps you pinpoint the right candidates by combining keywords, Boolean logic, and specific field filters.

You'll typically use Advanced Search when you want to:

• Build a detailed search using multiple criteria or Boolean expressions.
• Refine a large candidate list to focus on specific skills, locations, or job titles.
• See how changes to keywords or filters affect your results in real time.
• Create new saved searches for recurring recruitment workflows.
