The 'Refine this search' feature allows you to change the search criteria of the job list you are viewing.  This feature is sometimes called 'Job search'.  This article includes:


Using existing searches

If you would like to view jobs other than those that appear by default in your Jobs tab, use the options available from the 'Search:' drop-down box available at the top of the 'Jobs' tab:


In this drop-down list of searches, you'll see the following symbols:

One of the searches will have a star to the right of the search name (e.g. My 'Open' jobs) - this shows your default search which is used when you click on the jobs tab.  This is set in your Account tab (via the 'Default job saved search' field).

This symbol to the left of the search name means the search is accessible across the entire site.

This symbol to the left of the search name means it is one you have:
  • Saved so you can use again.
  • And/or shared with other users (other recruiters, and/or managers, and/or agency users).  If your organization uses the Recruiter Teams feature, only other users in your team will be able to see these searches.

TIP:  The  saved searches always appear at the top of the drop-down list, in the order they were created.  All other searches appear after these, in the order they were created (i.e. intermixed).

If you would like to view jobs other than those available from the 'Search:' drop-down box available at the top of the 'Jobs' tab, and you have been granted the permission 'Can refine job searches', the 'REFINE THIS SEARCH' button will be visible: 



Refining the search offers you a range of ways to find jobs:


In this screen, make your selections from the applicable 'that are...' and 'that have ...' heading(s). 

  • When you click on a plus symbol (this is called expanding) the list of options for the heading will show, and the plus symbol will change to a minus symbol. 
  • When you click on a minus symbol (this is called collapsing) the list of options for the heading will not be visible, and the minus symbol will change to a plus symbol. 
  • When you are finished setting your criteria, click the 'SEARCH NOW' button to run your search and display the results in job list view. 


TIP:  Use the 'results per page' option to change the number of jobs you will see in your job list after you click Search now. This will default to 30 unless you have specified a different default for your login via your Accounts tab (set in the 'Number of results in lists of jobs' field).
