Filter by Candidate Tags

This section allows you to filter through candidates by assigned tags. This includes ‘Personal’ and ‘Global’ tags, and you can choose whether to filter by one or multiple tags at a time.

For example, filtering for the tag ‘Engineering’ will return candidates who have that tag assigned to them. Filtering for ‘Engineering’ and ‘PHP Developer’ will return candidates that have ‘Engineering’ or ‘PHP Developer’ or both tags assigned to them.

Note: This will only return candidates who have tags assigned to them, and will filter out candidates with no tags assigned.

To search candidates using Filter by Candidate Tags, click Please select and select tags from the pop up box, then click Done.

For example, setting the slider from 5k to 22K will filter and return candidates that have specified a required salary of anything between 5,000 and 22,000, in their currency:

Distance from Job

The Distance From Job option allows the user to filter for candidates by their location.  To filter by location you must firstly select the country and then type the location or postcode.
The system then calls a third party service to get the geocode (longitude and latitude) of the given location.  A postcode/zip code will provide a closer geocode to your location than a city or state.

You can then filter out candidates outside a given radius to the geocode using the distance slider:

  • 2+ years
  • 5+ years
  • 7+ years
  • 10+ years

Note: candidates do not have to specify their experience so this may not return a full set of results.  Note also that some countries may have this disabled this option due to concerns around age discrimination.

The slider ranges from 0 years to 15 years:
