Start Your Search

Monster+ CV Search makes it easy to proactively connect with the top talent for your positions. The following steps will walk you through the process of setting up a search within Monster’s growing CV database.

Open Your Search Dashboard

Click Find Candidates in the top navigation, to open your search dashboard.

This is where every search begins.

The top portion of the dashboard is where you’ll initiate your searches. The bottom portion is where you can access and manage your saved searches. Every time you begin a search, it is saved directly to your dashboard for future reference.

Quick Tip: Check out the actions on your saved searches. If campaigns are running, click the purple metrics icon for a quick performance overview. You can also use the actions on the right hand side of the saved search to Clone, Archive and Delete your saved search.

Select Advanced Options (optional)

You can run your initial search with just the entries in the search bar, and add more criteria on the search results page in the next step. But, if you’d like to add more criteria you can make your selections in the Advanced Options menu on this page.

Click the plus sign under the search bar to reveal a complete list and make your selections, using the required checkbox for absolute must-haves.

Let’s review the 3 main sections of the Advanced Options menu:

Candidate Types & Work Authorization

Limit results to candidates willing to relocate: Returns candidates outside of your search area who are willing to relocate for the right opportunity.
Work Authorization: See all candidates, or those that are authorized to work in a particular country.

Remember, the options you select here will not carry over to your other searches.

CV Search Criteria

The CV Search Criteria section is just what it sounds like. The information is captured from candidates’ CVs. Monster processes every CV upload to provide you with these search options. Just make sure to only add one entry per field. If you have more than one entry, click the add another link where available.

Profile Search Criteria

Candidates have the option to provide specific information within their Monster Profile. Although helpful, some candidates choose to skip this step and rely on their resume alone. In this event, please don’t rule out those who lack information on these parameters. They may meet the criteria to a tee, but just haven’t provided it yet.

When you are ready, click Search to review your candidate matches on the search results page.
