Use the search bar in 'All Candidates' to find a specific candidate's profile.

Written by Emilia Carvell

On your Pinpoint side menu, click 'All Candidates' under the 'Candidates' section and use the search bar as shown below to search for a specific candidate, using search terms such and name or email address.

You can narrow don the search using

  • Filters - filter search results by location, department, tags, answers to application questions, application date etc

  • Radius Search - search within a st distance of a preferred location, based on the candidates address used in their application

  • Advanced search - search for key words used in the candidates resume or application

Candidate Profile VS Application

NB - The Candidate profile is visibility and permissions dependant, and will only show candidates & information that reflects the permissions and visibility of the user

Clicking into a candidate's name form the all candidates page will take you to the "Candidate profile".

The Candidate Profile is Pinpoint's central record for an individual person. It brings together all information about a candidate in one place, regardless of how many jobs they have applied for.

This differs from the Candidate Application - A Candidate Application is a single submission made by a candidate for a specific job. All information within an application relates to that role only.
