Starting with CV Search

When someone who comes to your website decides to apply for a job, they do so online, sending you their main contact and personal information using your online application form, and attaching a copy of their current CV.

Matching CVs can be very time consuming tasks. Jobshout has built-in CV Search and parser for all types of documents including PDFs which allow consultants searching for candidates very easy and quick. Jobshout can also search for the candidates on LinkedIn and other websites of interest.

Over time this turns into a powerful, searchable, candidate database that can help earn you much more business.

Let's explore some of the CV Search options available in Jobshout

Jobshout search and index technology can search through millions of CVs in a few seconds and real time ( almost any type of documents such as PDFs or MS Word Documents or RTF files )

Imagine you are running an Open source IT Recruitment company and looking for PHP candidates in London area with MySql as a desired skill:

- Type any single keyword such as - php to find all CVs with PHP skills

All words passed in a query string to CV Search are implicitly ANDed together. That is, "php mysql" means both words must appear. Jobshout CV Search allows other Boolean operators as well:

|, the pipe character, means Boolean OR
- means to exclude a term
() create groups

- To find all CVs with skills "php" and "mysql", you can type "php | mysql"

- To find all CVs with skills "php" but no "java", you can type "php (-java)"

- To find all Candidates with skills "php" or "mysql" in London, you can type "(php | mysql) london"

More search options contextual to currently logged in user may also be available via "Help" menu once logged into Applicants Dashboard area.
