Search Criteria

The Source page is where most users spend a majority of their time locating potential candidates for openings, so the Search Criteria pane here provides the most options.

• Job Title. Text field for entering a job title to search for in candidate profiles.
• Location. Text field for entering a location of candidates. This field accepts both zip code and city/state name entries. Multiple values can be entered, but they must be entered one at a time (enter a value, press Enter, then enter next value).
