Introduction
If you are not already familiar with the basics of searching, it is recommended you check out the Searching Introduction article. This covers key basics, including reversed searching and null criteria.
We also recommend referring to the Full Text (Boolean) Searching article if you will be searching using any text criteria within the job description.
There are several articles covering specific search criteria that you may wish to refer to such as: Keyword Searching, Location & GeoLocation Searching, Custom Field Searching, or advanced functionality such as Combining Searches which is covered in the Managing Saved Searches article.
The available search criteria are divided into three sections: Details, Keywords & Custom Fields, and Geographical Ranges. You don’t need to add criteria to each section. However, if you do the criteria between each section will be treated as an AND search.
Details
Within the Details area, there are a plethora of criteria you can search on. You may want to take particular note of the following:
Fill Chance - allows you to search for jobs that are of a certain rating. For example, you may wish to search all of your jobs that have been rated 3 stars and up, so you can prioritise jobs you feel would be easier to fill.
Job Function - this might be used when you’ve a great applicant on the phone, who is interested in working within a particular area such as marketing or HR. This field provides the option of searching for jobs within the relevant job function(s).
Work Type - you can limit your search to a particular work type. Leaving unticked will search all.
Work Arrangement - you can limit your search to a particular work arrangement. Leaving unticked will search all.
Status - you may wish to limit your search to just Live jobs (or any other relevant status)
Job Description Overview - similar to the Applicant CV Text search you can also use Full Text (Boolean) searching within the Job Description Overview. This is useful if you are searching for a job where a description of the role has been inputted into the Job Description Overview on the job record.
Company Terms
Potentially a key area to search, for example, to find live jobs without Terms or with Terms Sent (but not agreed), that might expose your business to invoice disputes. In addition, you can also search for agreed terms, those with or without attachments and by term dates. For further information relating to creating terms statuses see the Settings | General Settings article.
Keywords & Custom Fields
Additionally, you can search on the Keywords and Custom Fields added to job records.
You can search for jobs based on their addresses, postal codes or locations. Searching addresses on jobs will not include the invoice addresses.
Geographical Ranges
Data in each geographical range field acts as OR searches, so for a job to be returned in the results, it would just need to match one of these criteria.
