Searching for talent

How to effectively search for and filter potential candidates.

Searching for Talent

Find the perfect candidates for your positions with these search strategies:

Using search filters

Narrow down candidates with precise filters:

  • Profession type (architect, engineer, project manager, etc.)
  • Experience level (entry-level, mid-level, senior)
  • Skills and software proficiencies
  • Location and willingness to relocate
  • Education and certifications
  • Industry specialization (residential, commercial, infrastructure)

Portfolio-based search

Focus on candidates' work samples:

  • Project types they've worked on
  • Design style and aesthetic
  • Technical complexity of projects
  • Project scale and budget range
  • Specific project features (sustainability, innovation)

Saved searches and alerts

Stay updated on potential candidates:

  1. Create and save your most common searches
  2. Set up alerts for new candidates matching your criteria
  3. Receive weekly digests of potential matches
  4. Get notifications when candidates update their portfolios

Advanced search techniques

Use these strategies for more targeted results:

  • Keyword combinations with boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT)
  • Searching by specific project involvement
  • Looking for candidates with experience at certain firms
  • Filtering by availability and notice period
  • Searching by career trajectory and growth pattern

Talent pools

Organize candidates for future reference:

  • Create custom talent pools for different roles or departments
  • Add promising candidates to pools for later consideration
  • Share pools with team members involved in hiring
  • Add notes and ratings to candidates in your pools

Remember that the most qualified candidates might not always be actively looking. Our platform helps you discover passive candidates who might be open to the right opportunity.
