Searching efficiently helps you zero-in on the right applicants without paging through every record. Hirebridge offers two quick ways to find candidates:
-
Full Candidate Search – best when you need all search filters (job requisition, date range, distance, status, etc.).
-
Quick Search panel – perfect for a fast lookup while you’re reviewing other pages.
Method 1 – Full Candidate Search
-
In the main navigation bar, click the Candidates tab and choose Candidate Search.
-
You’ll land on the Candidate Search page. Use any combination of filters:
-
Job Requisition – narrow results to a specific opening.
-
Date Range – find candidates who applied within a set period.
-
Distance – search within a mileage radius of a ZIP/postal code.
-
Additional filters (status, source, stage, etc.) as needed.
-
-
Click Search. Matching candidates appear in the results grid.
-
Select a candidate’s name to open the profile or use the column headers to sort.
Method 2 – Quick Search Panel
-
From any page, click the green Search Candidates button on the left-hand edge of the screen.
-
A slide-out panel appears with key lookup fields such as First/Last Name, Email, and Phone.
-
Enter your criteria and press Enter or click Search. Results open instantly in the same panel.
-
Select a candidate in the list to jump directly to their profile.
Tips for Faster, More Accurate Searches
-
Combine multiple filters (e.g., Job Requisition and Date Range) to tighten results.
-
Use partial information—typing “Smit” in Last Name returns “Smith,” “Smits,” etc.
-
Remember that Distance is calculated from the candidate’s primary address.
-
Clear filters between searches to avoid unintended carry-over.
-
Save time by bookmarking the Candidate Search page for one-click access.
