Search


In the last release of HiringBoss we introduced a new search technology into HiringBoss, which will ultimately provide much improved capabilities to the users. We are aware that users still use the old search mechanism so this has been left in the system in this release to allow users to slowly change to the new approach. However, with the next release the old searching mechanism will be removed. 


Search Results List


Rather than completely replace the old search mechanism, we are taking what was good from that approach and rolling it into the new Search. This includes the information that can be seen on the candidate search result page. Whenever an advanced search is conducted, the resulting list of candidates will show the jobs that those candidate have applied for as well as the status of that candidate for each of those jobs.




Configurable fields available to be searched


The configurable fields that are able to be created and associated with either jobs or on a candidate application form are now available to be searched from within the advanced search page.


On the advanced search page, in the left hand column, there is now an ‘Additional fields’ area that allows the user to choose which of the configurable fields they want to use as part of the search criteria.



Clicking the ‘+’ button (shown above) will present the user with a pop-up window allowing the user to choose the fields they want to use as search criteria
 



The selected criteria will then be combined with any other criteria that has been set using AND as the operator (see below). 



 


The description above is based on configurable fields for application forms, but exactly the same principle stands for configurable fields on a job.
