Introduction to Segments

Segments in Recruiterflow allow you to categorize candidates into specific, customized groups based on chosen criteria. Think of a segment as a “saved search” that automatically updates with candidates who match your selected filters. Instead of searching manually every time, you’ll have a list of tailored candidate groups instantly accessible. Whether you're managing hundreds or thousands of candidates, segments provide a streamlined way to access, organize, and monitor the profiles that matter most to you.

Why Are Segments Important?

Segments are essential for creating targeted workflows, improving team efficiency, and staying organized. Here’s why they’re invaluable in Recruiterflow:

1. Quick Data Access

With segments, you can immediately access candidates who meet specific criteria without repetitive searching.

For example, if you want a list of candidates with “5+ years of experience in software engineering” located in a particular city, simply set these criteria, save it as a segment, and have it ready every time you need to access it.

2. Tailored Views for Each Role or Stage

Easily create segments based on specific job roles, candidate stages, or even skills.

This way, hiring managers, recruiters, and other team members can have personalized views of the candidates that are most relevant to their daily tasks.

3. Dynamic Updates

Segments automatically update as new candidates are added or existing candidates’ information changes. If a candidate meets the criteria of a saved segment, they’ll appear in the list without you having to do anything manually.

This real-time filtering ensures that your segments are always accurate and up-to-date.

4. Improved Organization and Tracking

By organizing candidates into segments, you can maintain a clear and organized database. For instance, create segments like “Top Developers,” “Sales Leads,” or “Best Candidates.”

This structured approach allows teams to stay organized, track candidate pipelines better, and maintain an orderly workflow.

5. Enhanced Collaboration with Team-Specific Segments

Share segments with team members to ensure everyone is on the same page. This means your recruiting team can work more cohesively, accessing the same candidate lists or tracking specific pipelines together.

For example, create a segment called “Qualified for [Role name]” and share it with your managers for a faster review process when a suitable role opens up.

6. Multiple Segments for Better Workflow Management

Recruiterflow lets you create multiple segments, so you can capture and manage various candidate groups across all stages of your hiring pipeline.

Having multiple segments lets you filter and view exactly what you need when you need it, without wading through unrelated profiles.

Examples of Useful Segments

Here are a few common segment ideas you might find helpful:

  • High-Priority Candidates: Candidates with “hot skills” or preferred experience, who have shown recent engagement or are considered strong leads.

  • Location-Based Segments: Candidates grouped by location for local job requirements.

  • Experience Level Segments: Organize candidates based on years of experience (e.g., entry-level, mid-level, senior).

  • Skills-Based Segments: Create segments for specific skills like “Python Developers” or “Salesforce Administrators.”

  • Interview-Ready Candidates: Candidates who have passed the screening stage and are ready for interviews.
