What is Candidate Search?
Candidate Search is a module in 12twenty that allows Employer Users to search for student resumes using a variety of criteria, including Keyword Search, Student Group, Job Phase, Program, Graduation Year, Graduation Term, College/School, Degree Level, Major/Academic Program, Minimum GPA, Detailed Industry, Desired Function, Desired City, Work Experience, Language Spoken, and Language Written.
- Employer Users can fill out the desired criteria and select “Get Results.”
- If the search criteria produce results, Employer Users will be able to view a list of students and view or download their resumes.
A note on Keyword Search: Please note that Keyword Search is not phrase-specific, and is unable to accommodate searches for a string of words (e.g. “CPR certified”). If you input multiple words, the Keyword Search filter will scan and display all resumes that include each word anywhere in the resume.
How Students Opt In/Out of Candidate Search
Students can opt in/out of allowing their information and resumes from being searched by Employer Users by:
- Navigating to their Account Settings from the bottom left side of the 12twenty user interface.
- Navigating to the General account settings, then selecting the “Edit” button to the right of the “Connections” heading. Here, students can toggle the “Allow Employers to contact me with job opportunities” button to “No” and employers will no longer be able to see them in Candidate Search results.
