Learn how to search for different types of locations, Talent Profiles, and employers for all tools within TalentNeuron Plan.
About building a search in Plan
In Plan, there are three criteria you use to define your search:
Locations, which can be all locations you have access to, one or more countries, or one or more metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs).
Talent Profiles, which is your custom definition of a particular role, whether it’s a broader occupation or a specific skill. You can also search for all talent.
Employers, which can be all employers we find postings for, or one or more specific competitors.
