Once you get the results for your talent search based on a skill, a job title, your location preferences or a name, you can finetune available filters until the desired talent records are displayed.
To this end, use filters available in the Showing results for pane. Filters are grouped by the following criteria:
- Name
- Job titles
- Skills
- Locations
- Profile privacy
- Advanced filters
You can expand or collapse each group to only work with the filters you want for the moment.
Name
To apply the Name filter, follow the steps listed below:
1. In the Showing results for pane under Name, start typing a name of the user to the search text box.
2. Once you are done, click Apply.
As a result, records of talents are filtered accordingly. Only talents with the name matching your filter are now displayed.
You can delete unwanted filter from the group by clicking a little cross in the Name filter group.
To save space in the Showing results for pane, you can collapse the Name filter group to its title. To this end, click the group title. Click it once again to expand the group when needed.
Job titles
To work with filters available under the Job titles group, you can expand the group. To this end, click the group title. If no filters are set for the group, it cannot be expanded.
To add a filter to the Job titles group, follow the steps listed below:
1. Click a plus icon in the group pane.
2. Once the Add job titles dialog opens, in the search box, start typing a job title you want to add as a filter. While typing, a list of job suggestions is shown. Select the one you need.
You can add more than one job as search criteria. Jobs you have defined as search criteria are shown under Selected jobs.
3. Once you are happy with job titles you have defined, click Add.
4. As a result, job filters are shown in the Job titles group, and records of talents are filtered accordingly. Only talents with the current or past jobs matching your filter are now displayed.
You can delete unwanted filter from the group by clicking a recycle bin icon within the job title record.
Skills
To work with filters available under the Skills group, you can expand the group. To this end, click the group title. Once expanded, you can manage each skill record in the group by changing its proficiency level or setting the skill as mandatory. You can also delete a skill record. To this end, click a recycle bin icon within the record.
If no filters are set for the group, it cannot be expanded.
To add a filter to the Skills group, follow the steps listed below:
1. Click a plus icon in the group pane.
2. Once the Add skills dialog opens, start adding skills.
Like settings up a profile, you can add here skills by searching for them, extracting them from a file or a text. To get more details about possible ways of adding skills, see Add skills.
You can set here one or more skills as mandatory by clicking the exclamation mark icon within the required skill record. Only candidates who have that particular skill can match.
You can skip setting a skill as mandatory on this step and do it later directly in the Skills filter group.
3. Once you are happy with skills you have defined, click Add.
4. As a result, skill filters are shown in the Skills group, and records of talents are filtered accordingly. Only talents with the matching skills (including mandatory ones, if any) are now displayed.
Locations
To work with filters available under the Locations group, you can expand the group. To this end, click the group title. Once expanded, you can see the whole list of filters you have set. For every city filter, you can change its radius. You can also delete a location record. To this end, click a recycle bin icon within the record.
If no filters are set for the group, it cannot be expanded.
To add a filter to the Locations group, follow the steps listed below:
1. Click a plus icon in the group pane.
2. Once the Add locations dialog opens, start adding your location preferences.
Like in the profile, you can add a city with a radius up to 100km, state, or even the whole country. In addition, you can select the remote option as well.
You can add more than one location preference as search criteria. Locations you have defined as search criteria are shown under Selected locations.
3. Once you are happy with locations you have defined, click Add.
4. As a result, location filters are shown in the Locations group, and records are filtered accordingly. Talents matching your location filters are now displayed.
To pick out the talent that matches your search criteria most closely, you can filter the list of your talent search results by profile privacy and show talents either with public or private profiles, or both.
To this end, select the corresponding checkbox under Profile privacy.
The Public profile checkbox is selected by default, so only talents with public profiles are shown in the list once you get your talent search results.
Advanced filters
To help you filter your talent search results more precisely, filtering by custom fields is possible.
These filters become available once they are added and set up in Ludi Cloud by the administrator.
They may look different from the ones illustrated on the picture below.
To manage advanced filters, follow the steps listed below:
1. Click Manage advanced filters.
2. In the Advanced filters dialog that opens, select the filters you want to add to the filters pane.
3. Once you are done, click Save.
As a result, filters are added to the left pane, and you can apply them to filter your talent search results as needed.
