Updated over a month ago

Hiring the right talent starts with finding the right candidates, quickly and efficiently.

With Advanced Search, you can go beyond simple keyword searches and filter candidates based on multiple criteria, such as location, application status, resume information and more. This feature ensures you can find and engage the best-fit candidates in just a few clicks.

In this article, weā€™ll walk you through Advanced Search's key features and how it can enhance your hiring process.


When performing an open search in the top search bar, Screenloop will check the following fields in a candidateā€™s profile:

  • Name

  • Email

  • Location

  • Job

Search Using Specific Fields

You can refine your search by specifying fields within a candidateā€™s profile using our open search feature.

To do this, enter the field name followed by a colon and the search term (without spaces). The following fields are searchable:

  • name: ā€“ Candidateā€™s name

  • email: ā€“ Candidateā€™s email address

  • location: ā€“ Candidateā€™s location

  • job: ā€“ Job title the candidate applied for

  • cv: ā€“ Content included in the candidateā€™s resume

Example:

To find all candidates named Sarah, type: name:Sarah in the search field.

Use Boolean Search to Refine Your Candidate Search

The candidate search feature supports basic Boolean search, allowing you to refine your results for more precise matches. Below are the supported Boolean operators and how they work:

AND Operator (AND)

marketing AND manager

The search will return candidates who have both ā€œmarketingā€ and ā€œmanagerā€ in their profiles.

OR Operator (OR)

developer OR engineer

The search will return candidates who have either ā€œdeveloperā€ or ā€œengineerā€ in their profiles.
