How to use the 'Total experience' filter?

In this article, we will explain how to use the 'Total Work Experience' filter to ensure the best candidates in your searches

Updated today

Looking for candidates with enough hands-on experience? This filter helps you target the right level.
With the ‘Total Work Experience’ filter, you can set a minimum number of years a candidate should have worked. This helps you focus your search on the right level of seniority.

📊 How does it work?

Robin adds up all the work experience listed on a candidate’s profile.
That includes:

  • part-time jobs during studies

  • internships marked as work experience

  • freelance projects or short-term roles

📌 Keep in mind: because candidates decide what they include, the total might be higher than expected.

💡 Our tip

Use a generous range when setting this filter – it helps avoid missing out on strong candidates who are just below your set threshold.

🚀 How to use the filter

  1. Open a new or existing search

  2. Go to the ‘Total Work Experience’ filter

  3. Choose the minimum number of years you want to filter by

Robin will only show candidates who meet this requirement.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does Robin count all types of experience?

    Yes – everything listed as work experience counts, including side jobs and internships.

  • Why should I use a broad range?

    Because the amount of experience shown depends on what the candidate entered – and that can vary.

  • What happens if I don’t use this filter?

    You’ll see candidates with all levels of experience – from entry-level to very senior.
