Searching by skills, title, location, and company

Where these filters live

CVViZ has three sourcing search surfaces, each with its own filter set:

• People Search (per job). The richest filter set.
• Find on web — in the Add Candidates modal. Google-search across multiple sources.
• Find on GitHub — in the Add Candidates modal. Direct GitHub search.

People Search filter reference

The filter config (PeopleSearch/filterConfig.js) exposes these fields. All accept text values:

Person filters

• Current Title — auto-filled from the job's title.
• Skills — auto-filled from the job's mandatory skills.
• Description (description) — keyword match against profile description.
• Degree (degree).
• Department (department).
• Connections (connections) — values like "first_degree", "second_degree".
• Contact Method — e.g. "email", "phone".
• Current Employer.
• Email (email) — exact email lookup.
• Birth Year — caution: discrimination risk in many regions.

Location filters

• City (city) — auto-filled from the job's city.
• Country (country).

Company filters

• Company Name.
• Company Domain.
• Company City.
• Company Competitors.
• Company Industry.
• Company Size Min / Max.
• Company Funding Min / Max.
• Company Revenue Min / Max.
• Company Publicly Traded — true / false.

Advanced company filters

• Company Website Rank.
• Company News Timestamp — values like "funding::one_month".
• Company NAICS Code, Company SIC Code.

Find on Web filter set

From the Add Candidates modal's Find on web tab:

• Job Profile / Title (jobtitle).
• Required Skills (skills).
• Location (locations).
• Qualification (qualifications) — optional.
• Additional Info (addInfo).
• Exclude Terms (excludeTerms).

Five source tabs choose which Google domain to search:

• Resume Files
• LinkedIn
• GitHub
• Behance
• Stack Overflow

Find on GitHub filter set

From the Add Candidates modal's Find on GitHub tab:

• Query (query) — main search term.
• Location (location).
• Language (language) — e.g. Python, Go.
• Followers + Followers Range.
• Repos + Repos Range.

Tactical tips

• Start broad on People Search. The job's auto-filled defaults are a useful first cut; tighten one filter at a time.
• Use Exclude Terms on Find-on-Web to filter out aggregator pages and recruiter junk.
• For dev roles, GitHub search beats LinkedIn — language and repo signals are more concrete.
• Avoid Birth Year as a filter except where legally relevant — it's a discrimination risk in most jurisdictions.
