3rd Party Searching

Table of Contents

All names that are brought in from a third party search integration will be saved to the database’s default company. Before performing a third party resume search, confirm that your database has a default company. This is done by clicking Company on the main toolbar then clicking Display Default Company from the action toolbar to the right. If a record is not returned, you must create a fictitious company record (i.e. ‘Candidates’), and set the ‘Default Company’ field to ‘Default Company’.
