How to Combine Multiple Filters in Recruitera

Learn how to combine multiple filters on a job's Filters tab in Recruitera — OR within a filter, AND across filters, plus is-not exclusions.

Filters stack, so you can layer several to build a precise shortlist. Understanding how values combine — OR within one filter, AND across filters — lets you narrow a job's candidates exactly. Available to anyone who can view the job.

Before you start

  • Available to: anyone who can view the job (Admins, Recruiters, and Hiring Managers)

  • Where to find it: open a job's pipeline → Filters tab

OR within a filter

Selecting several values inside one filter matches candidates who have any of them. For example, under Has source tag, picking LinkedIn and Referral shows candidates from either source.

AND across filters

Adding a second filter narrows the results further — a candidate has to match all the active filters. For example, Status = Qualified plus In stage = Interview plus AI score ≥ 80 returns only candidates who meet all three.

Several active filters combined

💡 Most filters also support an is not reading, so you can exclude as well as include — for example, qualified candidates whose source is not Referral.

Frequently asked questions

Why did my results shrink when I added a filter?

Filters combine with AND, so each one you add narrows the list further. If you've filtered too far, remove a filter or a value to widen the results.

Can I match "any" instead of "all"?

Within a single filter, yes — multiple values are treated as "any of these." Across different filters, matching is always "all," so combine values inside one filter when you want OR behaviour.
