Recruitment Marketing streamlines candidate searches. For basic searches by name or city, use the simple search. For targeted results, leverage the advanced search with its filtering, candidate creation, and list management features. Both search options are available from the "All Candidates" page, accessible through the side menu under CRM and clicking on Candidates or from the Home Dashboard.
The page provides you with intuitive navigation and tools to manage your candidate database, including:
| Items | Details |
| Filter (button) | Toggle the display of filters by clicking the Filters button. Filter and refine your search list by selecting from the available filter list. |
| Pinned Filters | This section displays your pinned filters. Pin filters you use regularly by clicking the pin icon when you hover over them. |

Using filters
When using filters, what you select will determine the results of the candidate list on the screen, for example, if you select "Name" as the filter, choose the option "Starts with", enter "Joh" in the text field, and click Apply, the results will display all candidates whose first or last name starts with "Joh", such as John or Johanesson.
Filters are divided into the following sections:
| Items | Details |
| Pinned Filters | Frequently used filters can be pinned to the Pinned Filters section for easy access. To pin a filter, simply hover over it and click the pin icon. Once a filter is pinned, it will appear for all lists that you are viewing/have created. |
| Candidate |
Filter using details about the candidate such as their email, employer, resume, etc. Boolean search is available against resumes. See below for more details. |
| Interaction | Filter using the information captured about a candidate's interaction to filter your search. |
| Form submission | Filter using the data collected from candidates' interactions with form call-to-actions. |
| Custom fields | Filter using the data collected from custom fields on form call-to-actions. For custom fields to appear, remember to tick Show this field in Candidate advanced search & Workflow. |
For a comprehensive guide on filters, refer to Creating a list - Filtering for details.
