In today's hyper-competitive market, top talent won’t be knocking at your door. Sometimes it could be difficult for recruiters to find enough candidates for niche positions or the candidates sourced may not be qualified for the role.

In this article, we have prepared some solutions to tune your search results from hireEZ’s AI Sourcing Engine.

Refining your search is a great way to find qualified talent. Find ways to broaden your search to find those candidates that fit specific areas or that may have different wording in their profile.

Take the position of Backend Developer as an example.

After editing the filters for Job Titles, Mandatory Skills, Location, and Years of Experience on the AI Sourcing page, there are only nineteen candidates appeared in the pool. In this case, you might want to open up your options for Work Experience or Location to enlarge the pool.

For instance, here you would notice that many of the candidates have the title “Backend Engineer.” Add it to your Job Titles filter to expand your pool.

The other way to expand your talent pool for senior and niche roles is to take advantage of the Find Similar Candidates feature on hireEZ’s Chrome Extension.

When you come across a candidate’s profile that is qualified for the role, use hireEZ Chrome Extension to find similar candidates.

When searching for similar candidates, hireEZ would look at the candidate’s location, title, skills, experience, and available contact information in the pool. As you can see from the screenshot above, the candidates listed in the Extension’s window have 20+ skills that match with the sample profile and are all based around Boston. In this way, you would be able to find more candidates who are suitable for the specific role.

hireEZ Chrome Extension now works on LinkedIn (and LinkedIn Recruiter), Twitter, Github, Kaggle, Stack Overflow, Google Scholar, and Google Searches.
