Pointwing Recruiting Software Offers Six Data Search Methods To Improve Recruiting Efficiency and Success.
Finding whatever data you need on an applicant, contact or job order is made easy in Pointwing recruiting software.
INTRODUCTION
Next to making phone calls, recruiters spend a lot of their time doing searches within their recruiting software for candidates, documents or other records. It isn’t always an easy task, as many recruiting software applications have just one or maybe two methods to search through all of the data that a recruiting firm can collect over time.
To make matters worse, some of those search methods can be cumbersome. While experienced recruiters may eventually master the skills needed to get the information they seek from their software, it can be a struggle for those with less experience or where complex searches are required to find that ideal candidate.
To help recruiters achieve greater success and efficiency, Pointwing offers at least six ways to perform searches within the application. All are designed with the goal in mind of making searching for that all-important information as easy as possible for the recruiter. The type of search a recruiter chooses to use can be based on the specific need at the time and search skill level of the recruiter. The search methods include:
- Quick Lookup Search
- Find Matching Search
- Advanced Search
- Prompted Search
- Smart Match Semantic Search
- Boolean Search
Each of these search methods will allow the recruiter to perform a ‘search within a search’ by using filters and groups to drill further into their search results. By having so many easy search methods available within their Pointwing recruiting software, the recruiter has the option to perform the type of searches they are most familiar with to get the fastest and most accurate results.
In addition to the search capabilities offered directly from within Pointwing, the Pointwing Resume Sourcer also offers recruiters the ability to perform Internet-based searches for resumes across a variety of Job Boards.
We will take a look at each of Pointwing’s internal search methods in a little greater detail in the pages that follow.
