Hello,

I was wondering if you could tell me if it is possible for employers to find job-seekers based on their skills?

The system I’m currently using has additional, searchable, custom fields which define various properties of the job-seeker, such as work experience, primary area of interest etc. This enables a sort of reverse job-search (Where the employer finds and approaches the job-seeker, as opposed to the normal way).

Users of our current site love this system, and it means the site more or less runs itself.

Is this possible? Can I add custom fields to the profile pages, and if so, will those fields be searchable?

Hi there,

Within resume list page after employer login, if you want to add more fields for employer to filter resume: you can
– add new field within form customization. Set the property “Is on filter” to “yes” for these new fields. They will be shown out for filtering resumes.
– pls note that currently employer can only filter resumes after login

Hello, Thank you very much, that has helped greatly, I was able to replicate my old style search form.

I was wondering about searching inside the fields from that search box on the filter job-seekers page?

If I add a text area to the filter list, for example, then a text area appears on the search form, I feel that this is unnecessary in my particular case, and would prefer if I could search any of my custom fields from the search box on the filter job-seekers page. That’s the sort of behaviour I was expecting, is that possible?

Additionally, I have a text area for job-seekers to paste the text of their word doc CV, so that in theory an employer can search for occurences of a word within the CVs. Adding this text area to the filter list does not work how I expected. This only shows exact matches, when in this case a partial match would be better (It’s very very very unlikely that an employer will type in the exact CV text of a job-seeker in its entirety, so this box on my search form will only confuse my users, and never return anything useful.

Is there a way to change the behaviour of the jobs search box to this extent?

In general this seems to work it does show the field itself, but how to get the Field Label to show as well and how to sort these fields below each other as currently they just show up one next to each other and without the labels …

Thanks

Heiko

PS: Using 1.4.0 version…

Here as well a screenshot how it shows with us…
