Updated over 9 months ago

There are two options for searching for jobseekers (candidates) with matching skills:

Search Directly from a Posted Job

Log into the Thrive portal and select Job Board from the left-hand menu under the Talent Exchange dropdown.

Find the Published job that you would like to search for candidates for. Under Actions, click on the 3 dots and select Candidate Search

Confirm that you want to search for candidates.

This will automatically parse skills from the job post and populate a search based on those skills. You may need to refine your search by changing location or adding/deleting skills as needed.

Search by Using the Candidate Search tool

Log into the Thrive portal and select Candidate Search from the left-hand menu under the Talent Exchange dropdown.

You have the option to search for candidates (jobseekers) by Keyword, Location and Skills.

Search Keyword

This search allows you to search by job title, skills, certifications and more. Examples include Client Services Coordinator, Sales, Marketing etc.

Location

Once you start typing into the Location search field, locations will auto-populate based on Google data. Select your location.

Skills

Use this field to search for specific skills, software requirements and more. Examples include project management, Adobe After Effects, Javascript etc. Start typing your skill search and select from the dropdown. Click Find Candidates to add this skill.

To select multiple Skills, select one and then repeat the search and selection process to add more.

Once you have found Candidates, you can view their resume details by either clicking on the left hand arrow under Expand to preview a resume or select the eye under Actions to view a full profile with the option to contact that Candidate.

Thrive Tip: Take note of the Candidate Skills and consider adding to your search for better results.
