Now we also have the spotlights filter area with filters that can service candidates who might be more likely to engage with recruiters. Maybe under workplace types, I'll select onsite. We can also select specific areas that are listed here but you can see that just by selecting the Los Angeles area, we've already narrowed down our search results to 190,000. And you can see one of the options here is include current, or current or open to relocate, or open to relocate only. I'll start typing Los Angeles and then I'll select the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area. For example, here under locations if the job I'm hiring for is in a specific region I should enter that here. Over here on the left, we have a ton of advanced filters that you can apply to pair down the number of potential candidates. So we probably want to start narrowing down the candidates. I can see it here and here, and so on, but also notice that I have over 11 million results here. And that brings me to this results page where we see the people who have project manager somewhere in their profiles. In this case though, I'll just select search all people who match project manager. Down here under people matches, it even pulls up specific people whose profiles I might be interested in taking a look at. I can search for people who have the job titles that match project manager or quality assurance manager, senior project manager, and so on.

Now, before I press enter I already see options here to refine my search or specify more about what I'm looking for. I'll come up here to the search bar and I can type in project manager.

So let's say I'm looking for candidates for my project manager position. We can start right here on the recruiter homepage and use the search bar. And there are a couple of ways you can do this. But what if you have no applicants and no leads yet? In those cases, you can search the entirety of LinkedIn to find potential candidates with the skills or talents you're looking for.

So far, we've seen how to add candidates to your pipeline both by searching inside the talent pool of a project and by manually adding candidates that you know about.
