Searching the Resume Database

Once you have purchased access to Resume Database, you can begin your search for prospective candidates. To do so:

How does the Candidate Matching online application system work?

Candidates will be able to submit their "Profile" to an advertised job via the "Apply Online" button below the job ad. This will send a copy of the candidate's "Profile" to the email provided in the contact information section of your posting as well as to the "Review Applicants" section of your "Toolbox".

A candidate "Profile" contains a text version of their resume, their job match preferences, cover letter (if submitted) and skill information. All submitted Profiles are matched and rated against the criteria specified in your job posting.

What is the difference between an A-list or B-List candidate?

The Candidate Matching system is designed to assist with candidate quality filtering. Candidates that match over 75% of your criteria will be designated as an A-List Candidate. All other candidates will be classified as B-List Candidates.

How do I change the format of the Candidate Profile I receive?

To change the format of the candidate application email from text/HTML to a web link for your browser:

  1. Login to your "Toolbox" and navigate to the "Edit Username and Password" link.
  2. Under the "Select desired format for matched candidates" option, select your preference and click the "Update" button.
  3. This will update your account and return you to your "Toolbox".

How do I specify not to receive candidates via the Candidate Matching system?

If you prefer to use direct email or your own ATS and not receive email notifications of applications via the Candidate Matching system, you can disable the feature by:

  1. Selecting to hide "Email Address" under "Contact Information" on the "Post a Job" page
  2. This will enable the "Online Applicants" section
