When you search Talent Database as a company recruiter, Get on Board orders professionals by how relevant they look for your search and filters. The order is a ranking signal to help you review profiles, not a guarantee that every exact keyword or tag match will appear first.
What affects the order?
Talent Database can use semantic search, keyword search, and filters together. Depending on the search, the ranking can consider:
- Your search text, including roles, technologies, and requirements.
- Tags and seniority filters.
- Country, salary, English level, availability, and other filters you apply.
- Whether you are viewing all professionals, only locked profiles, or already unlocked profiles.
- Profile content such as experience, skills, summary information, and declared preferences.
How tags work
Tags influence relevance, but they do not force a strict exact-match order. In some searches, tags and seniorities are added to the search meaning so related profiles can appear even when the wording is not identical. In keyword searches, explicit tags can boost matching profiles.
Use tags together with short search text and filters when you want stronger results. If the result set becomes too narrow, remove one filter at a time and search again.
Why results can change
Results can change as professionals update their profiles, availability, skills, salary expectations, or visibility settings. Already unlocked professionals may also be shown with relaxed availability filters so your team can revisit people you previously accessed.
