How to Filter Candidates by Education in Recruitera (Coming Soon)

Learn about Recruitera's upcoming education filter — filter candidates by university, degree, and degree subject. Includes a workaround using Boolean search until the filter launches.

A dedicated education filter — narrowing the pipeline by university, degree, and degree subject — is coming to the filter sidebar. Until it ships, you can find candidates by education using the Boolean search bar. Available to anyone who can view the job.

⚠️ This filter is coming soon. The steps below cover the workaround you can use today; this article will be updated when the education filter launches.

What the education filter will include

Once released, it will let you filter by, with contains / does not contain logic:

  • University name

  • Degree (e.g. Bachelor, Master, MBA)

  • Degree subject (e.g. Computer Science, Business Administration)

Recruitera will read this from candidate CVs and profiles, and matching will be case-insensitive.

Workaround until it's available

Use the candidate search bar on a job's Filters tab with Boolean keywords (AND, OR, NOT) — it searches CV text, so any education mentioned in a CV is findable:

  • Cairo AND University — candidates whose CV mentions Cairo University

  • MBA OR Master — candidates with either degree

  • engineering NOT civil — engineering graduates, excluding civil

Boolean search workaround for education

Frequently asked questions

Can I filter candidates by university today?

Not with a dedicated filter yet — it's in development. For now, search the university name in the candidate search bar; because search covers CV text, candidates who list that university will surface.

How do I find candidates with a specific degree?

Use the search bar with Boolean keywords — for example Computer AND Science AND Master. The search covers full CV text, so any degree mentioned there is searchable.
