Candidate Sourcing

Our Candidate Sourcing feature allows you to search your internal Exelare Database while simultaneously searching external resume boards such as CareerBuilder, Monster, Dice, TechFetch & Indeed. Results are returned as a "Preview" from each site, allowing users to choose which resumes to view and which to ignore.  If you have resume view limits with any of your resume site accounts, this will help you to manage those views effectively, while also providing a single interface from which to source resumes (no more back and forth between resume boards).

Candidate Sourcing currently supports: CareerBuilderMonsterDice, TechFetch & Indeed. Other sites may be added in the future, based on client requests.



Instructions:

Search Fields : 

1. Open Exelare For Windows and Navigate to the Jobs section (folder).
NOTE: It makes more sense to source resumes/Candidates from Jobs section though not mandatory. As an recommendation, if User sources resumes from Jobs section, he or she would be able to link the sourced resume(Candidate) to that particular Job directly. User can also source from Candidates section.
2. Choose a Job to which User wish to source resumes from different Job boards (like CB, Monster, Dice, TechFetch or Indeed) you have account/subscription with.
3. Now Click on the Source Candidates  Icon.
4. A new Search Panel window will open, where User can enter your search criteria either for Regular Search or Boolean Search.
NOTE: 
If you use Regular Search, User can use the available search fields (All words, Any words & Exact Phrase).
If you use the Boolean Search Option, User can enter full Boolean Strings in the new search box.
Please refer: Exelare Boolean Operators Cheat Sheet
5. Any search criteria entered on the General Search tab will apply to all of the resume sources you have selected.
6. In the "All words:", "Any words:", "Exact phrase:" search boxes, User can enter your desired keywords separated by a comma. E.g. Java, C++, Linux
To search for exact phrases, please wrap the phrase in quotations. E.g. "Business Development" or "SQL Server".
HINT:
a. All words: Please use comma to separate your search criteria else the words will not be highlighted correctly while viewing resumes.

    E.g. java developer
           C# developer
