Requisition Quick Search

The requisition search allows Recruiting Center users to quickly find specific requisitions.

The requisition search tool is available at the top right hand corner of the Recruiting Center pages. It is available to users if it has been configured in the user's configuration profile and if the user type permission has been granted.

When performing a requisition search, users enter the title, the number, or a keyword to find the desired requisition. A wild card search may also be used. The search engine only returns results appropriate to the user's permissions and group association.

When performing a requisition search using a keyword, the search engine looks through this content of the requisition file:

  • Requisition number

  • Requisition title

  • Requisition title by manager

  • Requisition internal description

  • Requisition external description

  • Job board summary description

  • Internal qualifications

  • External qualifications

  • Abstract

  • Additional information

  • Department

  • Position

  • Requisition UDF

  • Offer UDF

  • Department UDF

  • Requisition Primary Location

  • Requisition standard fields (Hire Type, State, Job Schedule, Job Level, Job Shift, Job Type, Study Level, Will Travel, Employee Status)

When performing a requisition search using a keyword, stop words are indexed. Stop words are small words not included in the index and excluded from a search because they are not considered to be significant. For example, words such as "no, not, the, one, and, or" and all single letters are stop words. Stop words are considered by the system when placed within quotation marks or parenthesis.

For example, when users are searching for "The GAP" placed within quotation marks or parenthesis, the system will consider the stop word "the". When users are searching for The GAP without quotation marks nor parenthesis, the system will ignore the stop word in the query.

For the requisition search, the system automatically applies the boolean operator AND. The AND, OR, and NOT operators can be entered manually.

The search is not case sensitive.

For performance and management reasons, a maximum of 300 matching files are displayed.
