Filters are the first step of a candidate search. You use filters in the search stage to make a broad selection, for example based on desired roles and location, so the search results can be refined later through the evaluation criteria.
Where to find it
At the start of a search, AI automatically determines filters based on your input. In the results view, you can adjust them later through Filters in the top bar.
When to use filters
Filters are useful for shaping the first selection without immediately excluding candidates because certain skills or sector details are missing from a profile. That leaves enough candidates for a proper evaluation of the full profile against specific or knockout criteria.
What filters do
Filters determine which candidates are retrieved in the search stage. NIXZ then uses those results as the basis for the automatic evaluation with criteria.
Common filters include:
- location;
- experience;
- skills;
- education;
- language;
- current or previous company type.
Practical use
Best practice is therefore to avoid making filters too specific. Use them to retrieve a relevant but still reasonably broad group of candidates in the search stage. Then let NIXZ evaluate that group against the criteria.
