Recruiters and permissioned users can use the Legacy Candidate Search to quickly find candidates whose resumes or CVs contain specific text.
Users must be assigned the Candidate Search > Access to the Search Section permission to access this function. This permission should be enabled in conjunction with the Can Search for External Candidates and Can Search for Internal Candidates permissions. These permissions are assigned in PeopleFluent RMS Administration Portal.
To run a simple candidate search
Go to Primary Navigation Bar > Candidate Search > Legacy Candidate Search .
Type or copy and paste the words or phrases that you want to search for in the With ANY of the words text box. Enter text in this text box much as you would enter text for a Google™ search:
The system DOES NOT automatically ignore common words such as “a,” “and,” and “the.” You should omit these words and enter only relevant key words. DO NOT simply copy a job description into the text box.
The textbox is limited to 500 characters. If you enter more than 500 characters, a warning message will be displayed.
The system automatically searches for candidates whose resumes contain the words you have entered. Do not use connectors such as AND, OR , or AND NOT between terms.
If you want to search for an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotation marks, such as “ certified network engineer .”
Search for text in multiple languages. To search in both English and German resumes for a chemical engineer, enter the keywords “ chemical engineer ” and chemike.
Search for words that begin with certain letters by putting an asterisk at the end of the letters, such as biotech *
Type or copy and paste the words or phrases that you want to search for in the Boolean Search (advanced) text box. The following rules apply to Boolean Searches:
Enter the desired words or phrases separated by the Boolean operators AND, OR , or AND NOT .
NOT is evaluated before AND .
NOT can only occur after AND (as in AND NOT; the combination OR NOT is not allowed).
AND is evaluated before OR .
AND expressions are associative and can be applied in any order. For example, a AND b AND c is the same as (a AND b) AND c, which is the same as a AND (b AND c)
OR expressions are associative and can be applied in any order.
Enclose exact phrases in quotation marks; for example, “ Sarbanes-Oxley .”
Select the number of candidates you want to display per page.
It is recommended that the selection of 25 results per page be the maximum, as the limit for copying candidates into the workflow is a maximum of 30 candidates at one time.
There is no limit to the number of candidates that can be returned in a single search.
Click Search. RMS displays a list of the candidates whose resumes contain the text you entered.
Search results will include only candidates that you have permission to view. For example, without permission to view internal candidates, internal candidates will not be included in your search results, even if internal candidates exist who meet your search criteria.
Search results will include only candidate default profiles.
If both of the text boxes are left blank, the system returns all candidate default profiles.
