Access Recruit allows customised searches and exports to be created to quickly locate and extract data.

With the Search & Export feature role enabled on a user account, searches and exports can be run across three categories: candidates, applications, and positions.

Searches define which records are returned, while exports define which data fields are displayed for those records.
