For Recruiters
Don't wait around for the perfect candidate,
go out and find them.
We believe that recruiting shouldn't be a game of chance. Waiting for the right candidate to stumble upon your job postings on the right day is not a strategy. That's why we've built a search engine that works for you, taking you straight to the candidates you're looking for. Here's how it works.
1. Describe
Start off by describing the skills, experience, or qualities you're looking for. Be as generic or specific as you see fit. Your description is broken down into three parts: the query, the keywords, and the context.
Query
The query is the text you enter in the search bar. It can range from a simple job title to a detailed list of candidate requirements. We look for resumes, that best match this query.
Strict Words
Keywords are marked with a hashtag ( # ) before the word. These words must appear in a candidate's resume, making it easier to locate individuals with particular skills, experience, or expertise. You can include multiple keywords to refine your search.
For example: If you are looking for a designer with experience in a specific tool, describe the candidate and add the desired tool as a keyword:
Graphic designer with experience in #figma
In addition to standard keywords, you can specify alternative keywords by using a forward slash ( / ) to indicate the alternative keyword. You can also exclude certain terms from your search using a bang ( ! ) before the word. This allows you to refine your search further by omitting candidates who mention the excluded terms.
For example: You might want to find someone with specific qualifications, but exclude a particular industry:
Product Designer with a focus on #UI/UX. Not !ecommerce
There are some rules when it comes to strict words. Strict words can't include spaces, numbers and most special characters. Strict words are case-insensitive, any character from a-z will be converted to lowercase. Strict words can use dashes ( - ) and underscores ( _ ) to separate words. Underscores will be treated as spaces. Only one underscore can be used per strict word. Other allowed special characters are ( + ) and ( # ).
Context
Our search engine goes beyond simple keyword matching. It understands the context of your query and looks for candidates whose experience aligns with your needs—even if they haven't used the exact words you're searching for. This helps uncover talent that might otherwise slip through the cracks, ensuring you find the best fit for your role.
For example: If you're looking for a marketing specialist with experience in social media strategy, you might not find someone with that exact expertise. However, our search engine will identify candidates with related skills, like content marketing or digital advertising, that could be just as valuable.

2. Location Search
You can search globally, but it's usually more practical to focus on a specific region. You can customize your search by location with five levels of specificity: Earth, Country, Region, District, or Place. Even if you're focusing on a larger area like a country, it's best to set a specific place and then expand the search limit to the country. This ensures you capture candidates who may have narrower location settings.
Note:
3. Advanced Search
The advanced settings allow you to refine your search according to the specific type of work you're recruiting for. Filters are applied based on the criteria you choose, ensuring you only see candidates who meet the job requirements. Most settings default to "Any" or "Negotiable," giving you flexibility in your search.
4. Open & Connect
Candidates will either have public or private profiles. Public profiles let you view resumes directly. Private profiles do not allow you to view resumes. User can choose to provide connection information where you can find an introduction message and/or a way to contact them.
