What
This article explains what the Daxtra Search module is, and what it's used for.
Daxtra Search is a tool that is integrated with Mercury. It allows Recruiters to search for CVs via Job Boards, and specifically the ability to search against different criteria to help recruit the best possible Candidates. It offers a simpler way of sifting through CVs, identifying correct CVs, and efficiently shortlisting them directly into your Mercury CRM. By returning results based on very specific search criteria, Recruiters are able to review and compare instantly. CVs can be downloaded immediately, searches can be saved and re-run at any time (otherwise known as Watchdogs), and searches can even be made to run overnight so that the results of the searches are ready for review first thing the following morning.
