Job Change Alerts tell you when a candidate switches roles or a contact moves to a new company. But knowing the alert was generated is only half the story. The real value is in what you do next, and that starts with being able to find the right people at the right time.
Three new filters in Candidate and Contact Advanced Search let you do exactly that:
Job Change Generated On — filter by when AIRA first detected a job change
Job Change Accepted On — filter by when you confirmed and accepted the alert
Job Change Dismissed On — filter by when the alert was reviewed and dismissed
All three filters are available on both Candidate Search and Contact Search.

Where to Find the Filters
Go to Candidates or Contacts in the main navigation
Click Advanced Search
In the filter panel, search for or scroll to Job Change Generated On, Job Change Accepted On, or Job Change Dismissed On
Set a date range and apply
Each filter accepts a date range so you can narrow results to a specific window - last 7 days, last 30 days, or a custom range.
What Each Filter Means
Filter | What it captures | When to use it |
Job Change Generated On | Date AIRA detected and surfaced the job change alert | Find everyone with a recent alert, regardless of whether it's been reviewed |
Job Change Accepted On | Date you accepted and confirmed the alert | Find people whose change you've verified and want to act on |
Job Change Dismissed On | Date the alert was reviewed and dismissed | Audit dismissed alerts or re-evaluate people you passed on previously |
Practical Use Cases
Re-engage candidates who recently changed jobs
Candidates who switch roles are in motion. They've already proven they're open to change, which makes them far more likely to take your call than someone who hasn't moved in three years.
Filter: Job Change Accepted On — last 30 days (Candidate Search)
Action: Add to a re-engagement email sequence, or call to check in on the new role and open opportunities
Identify contacts who just became hiring managers
When a contact moves into a new leadership role, your window to win that relationship is short. Catching them in the first 30-60 days, before they've set up their hiring partners, is where the deal gets made.
Filter: Job Change Accepted On last 30 days (Contact Search)
Action: Send a congratulations email with a soft pitch, or assign a task for the account owner to reach out within 48 hours
Find alerts that were generated but never reviewed
Alerts that were generated weeks ago but never accepted or dismissed are leaking value. This search surfaces everyone who slipped through.
Filter: Job Change Generated On last 60 days (Candidate or Contact Search)
Combine with: No value set for Job Change Accepted On and Job Change Dismissed On
Action: Review in bulk and accept or dismiss to keep your pipeline clean
Revisit dismissed alerts for a second look
Circumstances change. A candidate or contact you dismissed three months ago might now be relevant for a new mandate. Use the dismissed filter to bring them back into view.
Filter: Job Change Dismissed On last 90 days (Candidate or Contact Search)
Action: Review against your current open jobs and re-engage where there's a fit
Save Searches as Segments
Any filter combination you use regularly can be saved as a segment so you don't have to rebuild it every time. Once saved, the segment stays dynamic it updates automatically as new people match the criteria.
Useful segments to save:
"Candidates: Job change accepted last 30 days" — your warm re-engagement pool, refreshed automatically
"Contacts: Job change accepted last 30 days" — new hiring managers to reach out to each month
"Unreviewed alerts last 60 days" — a running list of alerts your team hasn't acted on yet

Using These Filters in Recipes
The real power of these filters shows up when you combine them with Recipes. You can build a saved search segment and then trigger a Recipe against it so every time a new candidate or contact matches the criteria, an action fires automatically.
Example workflow:
Save a segment: "Contacts: Job change accepted — last 7 days"
Recipe trigger: A contact enters segment
Recipe action: Send a congratulations email + create a follow-up task for the account owner
The segment gives you visibility. The Recipe handles the action. Together, they make sure no job change goes unworked.
