Search Example:
In the following example, we are looking for employees who have forklift experience and/or who can speak Spanish.
- When selected, the Match Any check box will look for records that have been tagged with the code of Forklift OR Bilingual-Spanish.
- When selected, the Match All check box will look for records that have been tagged with the code of Forklift AND Bilingual-Spanish.
- When selected, the Show in Results check box will create an additional column within your search results specifying the interest codes that match the employee record
Once results are returned you may organize and work off of the information to match employees to the correct positions.
