How do I search through resumes/CVs?
Updated last year
To quickly find a candidate type their name, phone number, or email address into the quick search control in the primary navigation.
To search through all of the resumes in your account you’ll need to visit the Candidate Manager and open the “All filters” control:
The “All filters” control opens up in a drawer on the right side of the page. Check the box next to “Search by Keywords.” Type your query into the “Resume” input and voila! You are searching all of the resumes in your account:
When you search this way, JobScore shows the highlighted text from the resume in the results on the Candidate Manager:
Here are a few tips when you search by keyword:
Your search can contain Boolean search operators including & (AND), | (OR), ! (NOT), () (groups), and “” (phrase search).
By default, all words in your search are joined with an implicit AND operator, so "hello world" means that both "hello" AND "world" must be present to be a match.
The OR operator takes precedence over the implicit AND, so searching for "cat | dog | mouse" means "(cat OR dog OR mouse)" not "cat AND (dog OR mouse)"
Negation (the NOT operator) is only allowed at the top level. It is not supported in parentheses (groups).
From the Candidate Manager you do much more than search resumes. You can also:
Combine keyword searches with filters. That means you can limit a search to only consider candidates with a certain tag, who are in a specific workflow stage, who answer a question in a certain way, and more.
Search information JobScore parses from resumes, including:
Employers: Searches the employment section of candidate records, including current, past, or all employers
Job Titles: Searches the employment section of candidate records, including current, past, or all job titles.
Schools: Searches the education section of candidate records
Majors: Searches the education section of candidate records
You can also customize how search results appear and export them. Here’s where you save /share filters and can adjust the columns shown on the Candidate Manager.
