Advanced Searching Tips
Using advanced search, you are able to improve the specificity of your search results. Advanced search supports the following operators:
AND/+signifies and operationOR/|signifies an or operationNOT/-negates a word or phrase"search for an exact word or phrase (e.g. "exceptional performance" would search for those words in that exact order)*at the end of a word signifies a prefix query (e.g. hel* would search for words starting hel - like hello or help)(and)signify precedence~Nafter a phrase (words within quotes) signifies a proximity search. A proximity search allows us to specify a maximum edit distance of words in a phrase e.g."fox quick"~5would match both"quick fox"and also"quick brown fox"
To help improve the accuracy of your results, we encourage you to separate your search terms by relevance.
If you supply multiple queries (e.g. for both resumé and candidate profile), results will only be reflective of candidates that satisfy both sets of criteria.
