Find Candidates and the resume map

You can give employers a page to search and filter candidate resumes. The Find Candidates page lists resumes that candidates have made public, to visitors your settings allow.

The page

The setup wizard creates the page at /find-candidates/. It holds the Resume Search Hero block (wcb/resume-search-hero) and the Find Resumes block (wcb/resume-archive). Sites that made the page earlier at /find-resumes/ keep working.

Map the page under Career Board → Settings → Pages (Find Candidates Page). If it is missing, click Create Missing Pages on the same tab.

Who can browse

Set the audience with Candidate directory visibility under Career Board → Settings → Resumes: everyone, logged-in members only, or approved employers only. A resume appears only when the candidate has turned on its Public toggle. See Resume Builder overview.

Search and filters

Control	What it does
Search	Every word must appear in the resume title, headline, summary, location or a skill. Up to 6 words of 2 or more letters.
Skills	Filters by skill. Shows the 30 most used skills.
Experience	Filters by experience level: Entry level (0-2 years), Mid level (3-5), Senior (6-10) or Lead / Principal (11 or more), from the candidate’s Years of experience.
Location	Matches part of the resume’s location text.
Open to Work	Shows only candidates marked open to work.
Sort	Newest first or Oldest first.

The same filters work on GET /wcb/v1/resumes with search, skill, experience, location, open_to_work, order (ASC or DESC), page and per_page (up to 50, default 12). The route follows the same audience setting as the page.

The resume map

You can show candidates on a map with the Resume Map block (wcb/resume-map, shortcode [wcbp_resume_map]). It pins public resumes that have a location and follows the same audience setting as the directory. A candidate’s location comes from the Location field of the Quick Resume Form.

• It holds the newest 500 pins. When there are more candidates, a note under the map says “Showing the newest 500 of N candidates. Use the candidate search to find the rest.”
• Visitors can search by city or postcode, pick a radius (5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 km; the default is 25 km) and use Use my location.
• If no one is in the area, the map says “No candidates found in that area. Try a wider search radius.”
• A resume is placed on the map shortly after the candidate saves a location. The place lookup runs in the background, not while saving. See Job Map for map providers.

The block has one setting, Height, default 480 px.
