Overview
Nimble provides a variety of ways to filter the Candidate list in order to make it easier to identify candidates based on specific details. Users can find candidates based on application details like grade level preferences, language proficiency, availability and more!
Using filters
Users can find filters listed vertically on the left hand side of the Candidate list:
The current list of filters includes:
Candidate Status - Filters based on the candidate’s application status.
Job Status - Filters based on the status of the job candidate applied to (e.g. if you filter for Active, Open you’ll see only candidates with applications for Active, Open jobs).
Internal/External - Filters for internal or external user status. Users can be designated internal by entering the internal jobs password upon application or if they are marked as internal by an Admin user.
Credentials - Filters based on the credentials a candidate has entered on his or her profile.
Tasks - Filters for candidates with tasks associated to their profiles and allows users to filter for candidates with certain complete or incomplete tasks. Tasks filter will only show tasks that have been created on the Settings page.
Experience - Filters based on the candidate’s years of prior work experience. Experience is calculated by the number of years of job experience included on a candidate’s profile. If the Work Experience section is disabled on the job postings, then this filter will typically not work accurately for candidates since they did not fill in work history information.
Job Category - Filters for candidates that have applied to specific jobs with the associated Job Category tag. Job categories are added when jobs are posted.
Languages & Proficiency Levels - Filters based on languages and proficiency levels a candidate has specified on his or her profile. This filter will only work for candidates who have entered this information on their profile (and therefore will typically not work if the Languages section is not enabled on the job application).
The other filters included in the list are based on Candidate Preferences. Those filters include: School Type (Multilingual, Title I, and Turnaround), Grade Level, Job Category and Availability. When a user enables these filters it shows candidates based on whether the preferences they’ve expressed in their profile match these criteria. Adding preferences is optional, so not all candidates will have preference details associated with their account.
Note: When a filter is enabled you will see that filter highlighted in green.
Keyword search
When a user conducts a search, the number of results will show in the top left corner of the candidate list. This search prioritizes candidate name and email, but also searches through other application data like keywords contained on the resume.
Default filters
Users can now set personal default filters to support and streamline work based on their role and responsibilities. These filter settings are available on the internal jobs page and candidate lists (both view all and by posting).
To set your default filters for a page, simply click the "set as my default" button and the current filters will be saved as your default.
Adding & removing filters
Users can add filters by selecting each item one by one or clicking the “Select All” link above each filter in the list.
Users can also remove all filters one by one, or by clicking “Clear All” above each filter in the list.
To clear all currently selected filters, users can select the “Clear All Filters” link in the top right corner of the candidate list.
