Understanding talent community filter functionality
Purpose
This article describes the filter functionality for the Matched tab of an Eightfold talent community (TC).
Audience
This article is directed toward new users of the TA product, specifically sourcers and sourcing leads, as well as EF employees.
Using filters
Within the Matched tab for each community, you’ll see several pieces of information. When All Talent Pool is selected, the list of prospects shows the entire talent pool that Eightfold hosts for your company. When All Matched is selected, the list of prospects shows the prospects who match the filters you’ve selected, the calibrations you’ve set for your community, or both.
From either the All Matched or the All Talent Pool, you can sort the list of prospects by several filters, including location, languages, skills, and experience. As you add filters, the All Matched number will reflect the number of matches based on your selected filters.
Use case
You may want to create a TC based on all the prospects who attended a certain recruiting event. To do this, select the Events filter and then add the Event name. This will give you the list of all prospects who are associated with the selected event. From here you can select those prospects and add them to your TC as described in How to: Adding prospects to a community.
Once you’ve calibrated your community, as described in How-to: Calibrating communities, your starting All Matched number will reflect how many prospects may be a good fit for your community based on your calibrations. Then when you add filters from there, your All Matched number will, again, reflect the number of matches based on your selected filters.
