The Quick Search tool allows you to find candidates based on their availability with speed and precision.
You can choose between two search options:
Availability on a specific day.
Availability on multiple days.
To perform a Quick Search:
Go to the Search Bar.
Find the Availability field.
Choose one of the following options:
Availability on a specific day – to search by a single date.
Availability on multiple days – to search across several dates.
Review the results and apply additional filters if required.
Pro Tip:
Select Perform exact time match to search by exact times, or Perform exact date match to search by precise dates.
Advanced Search
You can also search for candidate availability using the Advanced Search.
If the Availability tab is not visible:
Switch the search mode to Field Search.
This exposes additional Availability fields.
Choose the Availability Range.
Options include Next 7 days, Next 14 days, Next 21 days, or Next 30 days.
The system automatically fills in the corresponding date range.
You can also manually select a Day or specify a From–To Time range.
The Availability criteria will be added to the Search Parameters section.
To remove or edit the Availability criteria:
Change the Range to None, and Vincere will automatically update the search string.
Alternatively, click the X icon next to the Availability parameter to remove it manually.
Resolve Scheduling Conflicts
If a candidate’s availability overlaps with another event or placement, follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Go to the candidate’s profile and open the Placements section.
Review all placements to check for overlapping Booked Dates, Start Dates, or End Dates.
If overlaps exist:
Move conflicting placement dates into the past, or
Adjust them to avoid overlap with the new availability timeframe.
Confirm that all placements are synchronized with the updated availability.
By resolving date conflicts, you ensure that candidate availability remains accurate and up to date.
💡 Best Practices
Use Advanced Search for complex or multi-day availability checks.
Always verify candidate placements before updating availability.
Regularly clear old search parameters to maintain search accuracy.
