Managing Search Results

Top Echelon Recruiting Software’s search function allows you to quickly get your hands on a specific group of records. Once you have your results, you can tweak the way you view the data, preview records, filter or sort your list, modify the search criteria, save the search, and/or take action on the records right from your list of results.
