Find better candidates with Vacancy Search
One of the most common challenges consultants face is knowing where to start when they’ve got a great candidate in front of them. Do you trawl through your open jobs? Search the database? Ask around the team? It can take longer than you’d like to match the right person with the right role. Mercury’s new Vacancy Search feature is designed to help you hit the ground running.When you have a good candidate, it would be beneficial to know which vacancies would be a good fit. With a candidate’s record, you can now launch a vacancy search in just a couple of clicks. Mercury automatically builds the criteria for you, pulling in job titles, location, and any tags you’ve already associated with the candidate. The result? A shortlist of live roles that are likely to be a good match.Imagine you’ve just spoken with a candidate with some great skills. Vacancy Search pulls up five open roles across different clients that match their profile, saving you from hunting through each vacancy one by one. You can rule jobs in or out instantly, and if your candidate only wants temporary roles, you can filter for that too.It also works the other way around, helping you find great candidates.If you’ve got an open vacancy, you can search for similar roles. From there, you can see which candidates were previously put forward for those positions but didn’t get hired. These are warm leads: people who’ve already been considered and might be just the person your client is looking for this time around.
What makes Vacancy Search great is how seamlessly it connects to the rest of Mercury, especially the new shortlist board. You can add candidates directly from the search results, keeping everything in one place and reducing the number of steps it takes to move someone into a process.Ultimately, this feature gives recruiters more ways to uncover relevant matches whether you’re starting from a candidate or a vacancy. It’s about making better use of the data you already have and helping you move faster with confidence.
