Monster+ CV Search

Yes! To receive an email notification when new candidates who match your search are found, turn on the Enable Notifications switch at the bottom of your search criteria from the search results page. You can set the frequency for these notifications on the Settings page from the left pane. 

As many as you want! All the searches you run will be conveniently saved on your Dashboard page for easy access in the future. SearchMonster also allows you to clone a search (to copy the search criteria), archive the searches you want to hide from view and delete them permanently. 

The search results page is sorted based on relevance. However, you can use the CV Updated filter to narrow your results. Select your own date range or choose from a variety of time frames from updated “within 1 day” to “within 1 week,” to “within 9 months” and more. Just remember that candidates who haven’t updated their CV recently may still be open to your opportunity. The ability to sort by CV updated is something we are looking into for a future release. 

Your search criteria are on the left side of your search results. You can easily narrow down your candidate list by specifying more criteria and entering the most important keywords for your search. You can also adjust your location by narrowing your radius to really zero in on the right candidates closest to you. Read our article on Boolean Logic to learn how to create a complex search string where you can broaden, narrow down and exclude at the same time.

You may have specified too many search options. Try starting with a broad search before narrowing them down. To find as many candidates as possible, use a broad, industry standard job title and avoid internal titles. Also, make sure you search for all CVs first. Even if a candidate hasn’t updated their CV recently, they could be open to the right opportunity.

Some candidates do not want to have their personal information (such as their name, address, phone number, or email address) displayed on Monster. These candidates usually do not want their current employer knowing that they are searching for a new job. Others are simply concerned about privacy. You can get in contact with a confidential candidate via the Send Message button.
