What changed for recruiters?
Enhanced Boolean Search helps recruiters search candidates by work history, job titles, companies, universities, degrees, and related profile context. Boolean Search Views let teams save useful search setups and return to them instead of rebuilding the same sourcing logic repeatedly.
What changed
What this update changes
ATZ CRM expanded Boolean Search so recruiters can search deeper candidate context, including work and education history. This helps teams find candidates by past employers, job titles, universities, degrees, and other useful profile signals.
The update also adds Boolean Search Views. Recruiters can save strong search configurations and reopen them later, which is useful for recurring roles, niche talent pools, and repeat client requirements.
The goal is to make sourcing more precise without forcing recruiters to rebuild the same Boolean structure every time a similar job opens.
Why it matters
Why it matters to recruiters
Recruiters are often measured on speed, quality, and follow-through. This update is designed to reduce manual work, protect useful context, and help teams keep hiring activity moving with fewer handoffs.
Reusable sourcing work
Saved Boolean Search Views help teams preserve useful search logic for similar roles or repeat hiring needs.
Less sourcing setup time
Recruiters can start from a saved view, adjust details, and move into candidate review faster.
Before and after
How the workflow changes
Before
Recruiters rebuilt complex Boolean searches and often depended on broad resume keywords.
After
Recruiters can search work and education details and save the best Boolean configurations for reuse.
Before
Recurring sourcing projects required the same filter and keyword setup again and again.
After
Boolean Search Views keep proven search setups ready for the next similar role.
How recruiters use it
How the workflow works
The exact setup depends on your workspace and permissions, but the core workflow is built to keep recruiters closer to the record, the next action, and the right team context.

2
Build the Boolean search
Use Boolean logic and work or education terms to narrow the candidate pool.
3
Save the configuration
Create a Boolean Search View when the search will be useful for future sourcing.

Company-led sourcing
Search for candidates who have worked at target companies, competitors, partner ecosystems, or relevant industry employers.
Role progression review
Combine titles and seniority terms to find candidates whose career path matches the hiring manager’s expectations.
Education requirements
