The platform now enables employers to specify “must-have” requirements in their job postings, ensuring that only candidates who meet these criteria appear during their search. For example, when clients post a job and specify a language requirement—such as French or German—by default these criteria can simply contribute to the matching algorithm. However, if the employer ticks the “must-have” option, then only candidates that fulfill that requirement will be displayed on the Search Candidate page.
To enable this functionality, you go to the relevant custom data item (for instance, Languages or Skills). In the job detail section, you can select a tick box labeled “Pre-filter on client search page.” By enabling the associated sub-feature “Pre-filtered by default,” the option is checked automatically when a job is posted, ensuring that candidates are filtered based on the specified must-have criteria. This is particularly useful on niche platforms (e.g., translation-focused recruitment), where language skills are critical.
When clients post a job with these must-have filters enabled, only the candidates that match the requirements are shown to them. Conversely, if the employer unselects these requirements before saving the job posting, then all candidates will appear in the search results. This dynamic pre-filtering gives employers enhanced control over the candidate pool, ensuring a better and more relevant matching process.
If you have any questions about configuring these pre-filter options, please get in touch. Thank you for your time.
