Our key word searching technology is state-of-the-art and lets you quickly drill down to find the candidates you need. To help you continue to identify candidates, you have the ability to create an unlimited number of New Resume Agents based on criteria you establish for all your new job openings. Matching resumes are emailed directly to your desktop each day. Simply login to the HR Manager, click on “Resumes”, “Create a Search Agent” and then enter your search criteria. To receive the e-mails, be sure to click the check box beside “Make this search an agent, emailing results daily.”

22. How can I change my password?
Your password can be changed by going to the "Tools" tab after logging into your account. Then scroll to the bottom where it says "Manage Users". Select the user you would like to edit on the pull down menu and click the gray button that reads "Edit". Change the field that says password to that user's desired password and click the gray button that says "Update". Still have questions? If you are having technical problems such as
