Job Seeker Search FAQs What is the difference between Advanced Search and Quick Search? The Quick Search option is accessible from the homepage and offers a limited selection of search criteria so you can conduct a simple, relatively broad search by keyword, practice area, and/or job type. The Advanced Search option, accessible from the main navigation menu, provides a full set of search criteria so you can conduct a more detailed search.  Here you’ll find 6 different fields, including keyword, type of job, practice area, sub-specialty, industry, and location. ; You can specify any number and combination of those fields to tailor your search to your interests.  The more criteria you specify, the smaller and more precise your results.  If you are finding your results list is too small or you are not getting any results at all, try starting a new advanced search and specify fewer criteria to give you a broader list of results.   back to top Do I have to fill in all the criteria to run a search? No, you can specify as many or as few criteria as you want.  The more criteria you enter, the narrower your search results will be.  If you want a bigger list and broader range of results, simply specify fewer search criteria. back to top What is a Job ID number? Every job profile on our site is identified by its own unique Job ID number (i.e., J167432).  The Job ID is useful for a couple of reasons. 1. When you apply for a job, this ID number is automatically included with your submission, and, if you end up working with one of our recruiters, you can use the Job ID as a reference to communicate the specific position(s) that interest you. 2. If you know the Job ID number of a job you are interested in, you can search for that listing by simply entering the Job ID number into the Keyword box on the Quick Search or Advanced Search page. back to top How does a keyword search work? One of the options you have in the Quick Search or Advanced Search is to search by keyword.  Here are some tips to help you get the best results out of your keyword searches. 1. Limit your keywords to the following types: • Position Title – for example, accountant, clinical nurse, COO, etc. • Job Type – for example, full-time, FT, temp, etc. • Industry – for example, banking, advertising, legal, hedge fund, etc. • Location – New York, NYC, NJ, Queens, etc. • Job ID – for example, J167828 2. To find jobs that contain more than one keyword, simply enter multiple keywords separated by a comma. • For example, “accountant, advertising” will show you a list of jobs containing both of the keywords “accountant” and “advertising”. • You may use commonly abbreviated terms as keywords; however, we suggest also using the unabbreviated version of that keyword to make sure you see all relevant results. • For example, it is acceptable to use the keyword abbreviation “CFO” or “Chief Financial Officer”, or “admin asst” or “administrative assistant”. back to top How can I sort my search results? By default, your results are displayed by order of relevance to your search criteria (or by date if you didn’t specify any criteria at all).  To make it easier to organize these results, we enable you to sort by three fields: compensation, location, or job type.  To re-order your results, simply click on the column heading of the field you want to sort by.  Clicking once will sort the results in increasing order (i.e., compensation will be presented from lowest to highest, while Location and Job Type will be shown in alphabetical order).  Clicking a second time will sort the results in decreasing order, and clicking a third time will return your results to their original order. back to top My search didn’t produce any results.  Why? There are two potential reasons why you might conduct a search that produces no results: 1. We do not currently have any positions available meeting your criteria, or 2. Your search criteria were too specific. The best solution to this problem is to re-run your search selecting fewer criteria. For example, instead of searching for: Keyword: Vice President of Acquisitions Practice Area: Accounting and Finance Sub Specialty: Quality Management Industry: Venture Capital Location: Westchester County within 10 miles of Zip Cope 10510 Try: Keyword: Vice President Industry: Venture Capital Location: Westchester County back to top
