Key things to know about searching for candidates
Searching for candidates and sending messages are premium features included with a Hound Recruiter or Hound Recruiter Pro subscription.
You can search for all candidates on Hound, or search by relief workers. Use the filters on either page to refine your search.
Profile cards are color coded and have specific badges to indicate the candidate's work preferences.
Blue cards = candidates only interested in relief work.
Green cards = candidates interested in permanent work.
Green card with a blue relief badge = candidates interested in both relief and permanent work.
Any candidates you message or save can be found by using the engagement filter.
