How to Search Candidates

Use the search field at the top of any page to find candidates by name, skills, education, experience, or any information from their profile or resume. The search works across all candidate data in your system.

When candidates apply and upload a resume or when you add a resume manually to their profile, we store a text version so you can search the full content.

How Search Works

Semantic search: The search understands similar-sounding words. For example, searching for "Kathy" (with K) will also show results for "Cathy" (with C).

Partial matches: You don't need to type the complete word. Start typing and results appear as you type.

1. Type your search term in the search field at the top of any page

Combine keywords: Use multiple search terms to find candidates with specific combinations of experience
