Searching for Profiles
You can use the talent search to compare different talent profiles. When you search for profiles, the search results are ranked in the Match column, and a bar graph identifies the best match.
Tips:
• After performing a search, you can email an employee or several employees by selecting the check box beside their names and clicking the Email icon.
