TimesJobs provides you with various search forms, suited to different recruitment needs.
A) Quick Search
Quick Search is the simplest and quickest way to search for candidates. It works best when you want to do a 'broad search'.
For example, if you want to search for a front office receptionist having 2-3 years of experience, enter “front office receptionist” in the keywords text field and select the experience as 2-3 yrs.
This kind of search generates a broad range of results, which you can then refine/ narrow down as per your recruitment needs.
For Entry-level Recruitments, TimesJobs offers:
Campus Direct is a service that helps you recruit freshers from various college campuses at the click of a button. A wide range of institutes, offering courses such as MBA, Engineering etc., uploads the resumes of their outgoing students for placements on TimesJobs which you can easily search through and directly contact from the comfort of your workplace.
B) Advanced Search
If you have very specific requirements then use Advanced Search.
For example - If you want a Sales Manager from Consumer Durables/FMCG industry having 3-5 yrs of experience in Channel Sales, willing to relocate to Mumbai and holding an MBA degree in Marketing from a Premier Institute, it would be best to use Advanced Search.
Remember that the more specific your search, the fewer results it is likely to generate.
C) My Search
'My Search' is the latest and customizable search option offered to recruiters.
With My Search recruiters can customize their search and get the most matching search results, in a snap. 'My Search' enables recruiters to create a customized search form with selected search parameters (that are critical for the job position) and conduct custom search.
Recruiters can also edit their My Search form and save it to perform similar searches in future and reduce their recruitment time and efforts to half.
What are keywords/ search terms?
Choosing the right keywords is the most vital part of your search. Keywords are specific words or terms that you are looking for in a resume. They define the specific skills, role and designation that you are looking for.
TimesJobs looks for the search terms you type. Choose your search terms carefully.
A search for specific skills such as java, j2ee will produce better results than something as general as good programming skills, hard working, etc.
It often works better when you specify multiple keywords. If you are looking for a technical lead for java, you will do better with “technical lead”, java, j2ee than if you search for just one of these terms.
When entering multiple keywords separate them by a space or comma. Enclose phrases in double quotes.
Example: “Sales manager” or “Java developer” or “Times Business Solutions Ltd.” What keywords should I use?
TimesJobs saves your efforts to think and type the keywords you want to search for.
In case you are not able to decide what keywords to enter, just type in the first alphabet and we provide you with a list of suggestions to select from.
For example, if you want to search for a “Project manager” and are unsure about the search terms to key in, just start typing ‘P’ and TimesJobs will automatically prompt you for other search terms that are commonly used when searching for “Project manager”.
It is recommended that you keep the ASKey (Add Similar Keywords automatically) feature ON, as this automatically adds synonyms (other terms with the same meaning) of the terms entered by you in the query.
ASKey (Add Similar Keywords automatically)
ASKey stands for ‘Add Similar Keywords automatically’. This feature fetches search results with words that are similar in meaning to the ones entered by you.
With this feature turned on, you no longer have to bother about entering different forms of the same word.
For example, When ASKey is ON searching for “accounts assistant” will return resumes with “accounts asst.” automatically,
Usually, the alternate words TimesJobs adds to your results will help your search, but we understand that in some cases you want to restrict your search to precisely the terms you enter. In that case, you can turn the ASKey OFF by unchecking it.
Capitalization of keywords
Keywords are not case sensitive. Whether you enter a keyword in upper or lower case, it’ll generate the same search results. For example, a search for keywords marketing or Marketing or MARKETING will generate the same search results.
Excluding keywords/search terms
In case you want resumes that DO NOT have certain keywords or search terms, use NOT along with the keywords.
For example, if you want the resumes of all the candidates who are working in IBM and not the IBM BPO, enter the keywords IBM NOT (IBM BPO).
This will return all resumes that do not have the keyword “IBM BPO” in them.
Similarly, in case you want to search for candidates who are sales managers but not national sales manager nor area sales managers, the query for that requirement would be: (Sales and manager) not (area or national)
Defining the keyword scope
While searching for particular keywords/ search terms in the resumes, you can select the scope of the keyword search. There are four options for keyword scope:
What does the search category ‘Location’ refer to?
Selecting a location value from the Location dropdown menu fetches the resumes of candidates that are currently located there. However, by clicking the check box for “Include Candidates willing to relocate to selected cities”, the search will fetch candidates who are willing to relocate to these locations as well.
Example: Search for Location= Delhi/NCR will fetch candidates currently based in Delhi/NCR. However, on clicking the check box “Include Candidates willing to relocate to selected cities” will fetch candidates who are currently based in some other location but willing to relocate to Delhi/NCR.
What does Functional Area tell me about a candidate?
Functional Area refers to the department a candidate is working for within the organization.
For example, an employee in Wipro could be working in the IT/Telecom - Software department or the Finance Department.
Similarly, an employee engaged in transportation and procurement of materials in Britannia Industries will have Functional Area as ‘Materials/Logistics/Supply Chain Management/Procurement.
What is the difference between Functional Area and Areas of Specialization?
Functional Area refers to the department a candidate is working for within an organization.
For example, a product manager in HP will have functional area as Marketing/MR/Media Planning. Similarly, a customer care executive working for Vodafone will have functional area as Operations/Customer Service/Telecalling/Backend, whereas the area of specialization refers to the role or specialization of the candidate, within the department.
For example, ‘Sales Manager’ working HUL could specialize in either Corporate Sales or Channel Sales. Similarly, an HR Executive in Infosys could either specialize in Recruitment or performance appraisal or training & development.
A candidate can have multiple functional areas and areas of specialization.
What does Industry tell me about a candidate?
Industry relates to the kind of organization a candidate is working for. It defines the sector in which the candidate’s organization is engaged in.
For example, a sales person working in HUL (Hindustan Unilever Ltd.), belongs to the industry Consumer Durables/ FMCG. Similarly, an accountant working for Convergys will belong to the industry CRM/Call Centres/BPO/ITES/Med. Trans.
How do I find resumes having both, Post Graduation and Graduation qualification?
Multiple Courses, Course specializations and institutes can be selected by checking the check boxes in the respective drop downs.
However, incase one wants to fetch candidates having both, Grad and PG qualification, select the AND radio button displayed below the field ’PG & Doctorate’.
In order to fetch candidates who are purely graduates (not post graduates), select the OR button.
How to search for candidates from top/ premier institutes?
As part of Education search, one can search for candidates from top/ premier business and engineering institutes. To search for the same, check the values ‘Premier engineering institutes’ or ‘Premier business institutes’. ‘Premier engineering institutes’ searches for candidates from top engineering institutes like IIT, DCE, etc.
‘Premier business institutes’ searches for candidates from top business institutes like IIM, FMS, XLRI, etc.
How to search for candidates pursuing/ pursued a particular course, irrespective of the course specialization?
Selecting course specialization for a particular course value is non mandatory. Thus, in order to fetch search results against a course value irrespective of the course specialization, perform the search by selecting the respective course value and No pecialization.
What is resume freshness?
There are 7 options available for resume freshness:
There are 4 options of sorting available to you:

In case your search query generates too many results, you can further refine them as per your requirements.
Refine by Keywords: This refine option helps you refine your search results through keywords or other search parameters like location, employer, etc.
Refine Within Results: You can also refine your search results using clusters (filters to refine search results) on the right hand side of the search results page. We have a number of clusters (like CTC, Experience, Industry, Functional Area etc) to help you zero-in on the best matching resumes.

For instance, the results of the search performed using Functional Area – IT can further be refined using multiple Area of Specialization like Business/Systems Analysis Area, Data Warehousing etc. to ensure most refined and relevant resumes.
