What Are the Additional Filters in the Hunter?
Now that we’ve learned how to search for candidates using text from their resumes (such as experience, education, and more), it’s time to get acquainted with the Additional Filters. These filters allow further candidate filtering, but this time based on data that exists in the HunterAI system itself – not from the resume text.
1. Displaying the Additional Filters
First, open the Candidate Hunter. Then click the “Show More Filters” button, which appears above the Search button.

You can also filter candidates by the Tagwords you’ve added to them in the system. By clicking “Tagwords” start typing the beginning of the word, and the system will suggest existing tags. For example:
