How to Filter Candidates by Work Experience in Recruitera (Coming Soon)

Learn about Recruitera's upcoming work experience filter — filter candidates by previous company and job title. Includes a workaround using Boolean search until the filter launches.

A dedicated work-experience filter — narrowing the pipeline by previous company and job title — is coming to the filter sidebar. Until it ships, you can find candidates by work history 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 work-experience filter launches.

What the work experience filter will include

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

  • Company name

  • Job title

Recruitera will read this from candidate CVs and profiles.

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 work history is findable:

  • Vodafone — candidates who worked at Vodafone

  • product AND manager — candidates whose CV mentions that title

  • bank NOT junior — banking experience, excluding junior roles

  • Oracle OR SAP — candidates with either ERP background

Boolean search workaround for work experience

Frequently asked questions

Can I filter candidates by previous employer today?

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

How do I find candidates with a specific job title?

Use the search bar with Boolean keywords — for example software AND engineer, or broaden with engineer OR developer. The search covers full CV text, so any title in a candidate's experience is searchable.
