Filters

Search filters help you narrow the scope of a candidate search. By using filters, you get a subset of candidates (the subset you really want) rather than all candidates.

Search results appear in a data grid. Some columns are included by default, but you can add additional columns to meet your needs.

Columns with up and down arrows are sortable. A column with one arrow means that column is sorted.
