A Resume Agent is a tool that performs an automatic search of the resume database! It is a way for you to create a search profile for potential candidates. It provides you with:

• Automatic resume searches.
• Targeted and customized resume searches.
• Email notification of the search results sent to you daily, weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.
• On-line view of the search results.

Note: There are several lists that offer single or multiple selections. Perform your multiple selections as follows:

• At a PC hold down the <CTRL> key and click on your choices.
• At a MAC hold down the <Command> key and click on your choices.

To create an Agent:
1.	On the Recruiter's home page, click   Resume Agents under Resume.
	The Resume Agents page lists any Agents you have already created.
2.	Click Create New Agent. The Create New Resume Agents screen appears.

	Email Notification Frequency	Select how often you want to receive email notification of resumes matching your criteria. Select 'Do Not Send Email' if you do not want to receive email notifications. Email notification is not mandatory. You can select "view" to get agent search results.
	Select the Resume Database(s) to Search	(Applicable if you have access to multiple databases.) Select the box(es) to identify the resume databases that you want to include in your search profile. The search results will contain matching resumes from all the databases that you select. ChiefMonster - Search in the ChiefMonster resume database. Monster - Search in Monster.com's resume database. (Note: Searches for the Monster.com database will return only those candidates searchable in the locations to which you have access.) Private Database - Search only in your company's private resume database. You can search in all the resume databases by checking all options.
	Resumes Received	With this option, you can choose how far back into the database you would like to search for resumes. If you select 'Today', only those resumes that were posted by candidates on the current date will be retrieved. Other selections, such as 'Yesterday' or 'Up to 2 days ago' will retrieve resumes posted accordingly.
	Locations	Select the 'Are willing to work in...' box if you want your results to include candidates who have identified that location as an area they are interested in working. Select the 'Currently reside in...' box if you want your search to target candidates who live in a specific country or state. Both options will return matches based on your level of resume database access. Select up to five locations from the 'locations' list. By selecting a specific location, you narrow your search results to more accurately suit your needs. The 'Current' location criterion refers to the state (or country) the candidate included in their address. The 'Willing to work in...' criterion refers to the areas that the candidate has identified as target locations. By choosing "All Locations" your search will include resumes that are not specific to any particular area, but will include candidates from the resume database to which you have access. Note: If you click the 'Currently reside in' box, returned resumes will only include matches at the state level.
	Work Authorization	Select the 'Are authorized for any employer' box if you want your results to contain candidates that have no hire restrictions within selected countries.
