Suggested Contacts

Suggested Contacts: New filters including years of experience and the ability to say "must not"

Suggested Contacts just got a lot more precise. We've grown the filter panel from 4 filters to 15, and added the operators recruiters have been asking for: IS NOT, OR and AND.

Since June, Suggested Contacts has had must-have Role, Skill, and Company filters. This release widens what "must-have" can mean, and lets you express it far more precisely.

What's new

11 new filters. On top of Job role, Company, Skill and Location, you can now filter on: 

• Years of experience

• Experience keywords

• Degree

• Certification

• Language

• Status

• Last activity

• Open vacancy stage

• Pool

• Global tag

• Contact type

New operators. Every chip-based filter now supports:

• IS / IS NOT – include or exclude. Screen out candidates already at interview stage, or in a pool you don't want to re-approach.

• OR / AND – match any of your values, or require all of them. "Speaks German OR French" versus "has Python AND React".

Exclude what you don't want. Open vacancy stage lets you remove candidates who are already at a given stage or beyond in any open vacancy, so you stop surfacing people who are already in play.

Declared skills only. The Skill filter now has an option to exclude Beamery-suggested (inferred) skills and match only skills the candidate has declared, for when a skill is a firm requirement.

Why it matters

Similarity scoring tells you who's close to your role. Filters enforce what's non-negotiable. With 15 filters and full boolean control, recruiters can define exactly who qualifies, then let Talent Match rank the fit, all across the full talent database rather than a pre-retrieved subset.

More relevant results. A shortlist you can trust. Less time discarding candidates who were never a real match.
