Locating candidates in the candidate pool

You can locate candidate records that contain a combination of keywords and field values. The search does not include attached resumes that were not parsed, or any other type of attachment. To locate candidates using any one of your specified keywords, separate the keywords with OR. To locate candidates using all of your specified keywords, separate the keywords with AND.

You can search for candidates using a variety of parameters on the Candidate tab. You can also create a search focused on candidates with a specific type of credential on the Credential Search tab. Search results on the Credential Search tab display whether the credential is a compact license.
