What
Searching for Candidates via Location is now even easier within the new Mercury Search! By using two different location filters, users can cast a wider net where Search can return valid Candidates.
NOTE: If using Location (Free Text) and Location (Distance) together in Structured Search, the default connecting operator between them will be an OR.
Where
For this example we will access Search from the Contacts area:
Home > Contacts > Search > Mercury Search > Location (Free Text) or Location (Distance)
How
Location (Free Text)
Select locations to search by geographical area, and further specify by home address, education, work history, and mentions of locations in candidate comments.
When entering any location type, the default options selected are: City, (OR) County, (OR) State, (OR) Country. A minimum of one field must be selected for each location searched.
Within City, County and Country, there is another dropdown, where Home Address is selected by default. The other two options are: Education and Work History.
Location (Distance)
Select location by distance from a city, county, or country. A Country in addition to either a Town/City or Postcode/ZIP is required to add a location. Distance is measured by mile radius from the given location(s), with a default of 30 miles.
This search will bring back Candidates who are within a 20-mile radius of Brighton OR within a 50-mile radius of Manchester OR are willing to relocate.
