Without the correct tools, the resume search and hiring processes can be extremely lengthy. Ultimately, this will cost you time and money when you\u2019re looking for your next hire. As such, recruiters must have access to the best recruitment technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With this in mind, this article takes a look at the issues with traditional Boolean searches and will give you top tips on how to maximise your resume search with <\/span>Resume Library\u2019s<\/span><\/a> Smartmatch technology<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Problem with Traditional Resume Database Searches\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s No Room For Error\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For a Boolean search to bring back great results, the search string logic needs to be perfect. This means there\u2019s no room for incorrect operators, speech marks, or spellings. Unfortunately, this level of perfection is difficult to guarantee, and many searches end up excluding candidates that could be perfect for the role!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Time Consuming\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Drafting traditional Boolean searches is incredibly time-consuming. The need for absolute perfection means recruiters spend far longer than necessary checking their search parameters before pressing go.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this might help improve accuracy, it makes the hiring process even lengthier than it needs to be. What\u2019s more, if a mistake is made during the first search, it can take even longer to identify and rectify the issue before getting a decent search result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It Doesn\u2019t Yield the Best Results\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In this day and age, the same job can have several different job titles, depending on which company is hiring. For example, a \u2018Retail Assistant\u2019 could also be referenced as a \u2018Sales Assistant,\u2019 \u2018Brand Associate,\u2019 or even a \u2018Customer Experience Assistant.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a traditional Boolean search, it\u2019s up to the recruiter to include all these relevant job terms in the search logic. But, again, this adds to the risk of many hiring professionals missing out on top talent by excluding some of these useful search terms.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, searching for a \u201cPersonal Assistant\u201d in New York only finds 208 active jobseekers. However, as you can see below, by using <\/span>Smartmatch technology,<\/b> you can expand this search to discover thousands more suitable candidates in just a few clicks:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
