How does the search function work?

We’ve given Robin’s search a big upgrade — so you can find the right candidates even faster.
With smarter filters and improved * (asterisk) functionality, searching is now easier and more effective. No more complex search queries — Robin automatically helps you find the best matches!

🔄 Automatic synonym detection
Searching for operator? Robin now automatically checks for relevant synonyms like machine operator and includes them in your search — so you won’t miss top candidates just because of job title variations. Want to add more synonyms yourself? You can do that too via a handy dropdown!

❌ No more irrelevant job titles
Looking for production workers but getting production team lead in your results? Not anymore! Robin automatically filters out management titles and other irrelevant roles. Less noise, more spot-on candidates.

✨ Smarter search with the * (asterisk)
Want to run a broader search without typing endless variations? Just use a *!
For example, searching for technician will also show results like maintenance technician, service technician, or repair technician.

🚀 More results when you need them
Not getting enough candidates? Robin can suggest alternatives based on related skills and similar roles — so you always get enough relevant matches, without extra work.

Many recruiters struggle with guessing the right search terms or filtering out noise. That means:

✅ Less manual work – Robin handles the smart part for you
✅ More relevant candidates – Better filters = better matches
✅ Faster results – No time wasted on irrelevant profiles
✅ More placements – Because better search = better hires

💡 Use * (asterisk) for broader results
💡 Check which synonyms Robin adds automatically
💡 Ask for more candidates if your search returns too few

Robin does the heavy lifting — you just run the search.
​Smarter, faster, easier – just the way it should be. 🎯

1️⃣ How does automatic synonym detection work?
When you enter a search term, Robin automatically checks for relevant synonyms. For example, if you search for operator, it adds terms like machine operator or process operator, so you don’t miss strong candidates.

2️⃣ Can I control which synonyms are added?
Yes! Robin suggests synonyms by default, but you can review, add, or remove them using a simple dropdown. That way, you stay in control of your search.

3️⃣ How does the * (asterisk) help with searching?
Adding an asterisk to your search word makes Robin look for broader variations. For example, typing technician also shows maintenance technician, service technician, or repair technician — no need to type each one manually.

4️⃣ Can I automatically exclude irrelevant job titles?
Yes! Robin filters out titles that aren’t relevant. So if you’re looking for production workers, you won’t see roles like production team lead cluttering your results.

5️⃣ What if my search gives too few results?
Robin can automatically suggest similar roles or skills to expand your search. Just activate suggestions to see more relevant candidates without changing your query manually.

6️⃣ Do I need to set anything up to use these features?
Nope! These AI Search improvements are available to all Robin users automatically. Just enter your search and Robin takes care of the rest. 🚀
