By using keyword searches, filters, and saved filter views, users can quickly identify suitable candidates and streamline candidate screening.

Search within candidate documents for keywords and skills

Key in the keywords or skillsets on the search bar to search for keywords across the candidate CV, application form and other attachments. Indicate whether the searched terms should all be within the candidate’s data, by using the “AND” conditional search, or if you would like to search for candidates that have either one of the keywords / skillsets by indicating the search criteria as “OR”.

Creating filters

Create a smart way to filter candidates by implementing a filter view that can be used to screen for candidates according to your pre-set criteria.

  • Click on the Filters tab on the left to show the filters >click Add Filter

  • Choose filter (e.g. Nationality) and indicate filter terms (e.g. “ Singapore”) > Apply

  • You can choose to chain multiple filters by clicking on Add Filter to chain on another filter type/criteria 

Saving filters as a filter view

Set a pre-set criteria for candidates that can help you screen through new candidates easily regardless of the application volume.

  • Once you’ve created your filters, click “Save View as...”, enter a name for the filter view, and tick “Share with All” if you would like to share it with other recruiters assigned to the job.

  • Click Submit.

  • To screen candidates using your saved filters, simply click the Select View dropdown and choose your desired view

  • To delete a saved filter view, select it from the dropdown list, click Delete View, then confirm by selecting Yes
