The Quick Search bar in Vincere is a powerful tool that helps you quickly find candidates, contacts, companies, or jobs from anywhere in the system. It supports both free text and field-based searches for fast, accurate results.
Quick Search is ideal for running simple searches without needing detailed criteria or Boolean logic.
Run a Free Text Search
Free Text Search allows you to find results by entering keywords directly into the Quick Search bar.
Type your search keyword into the Quick Search bar.
Press Enter to display the results.
The results are automatically grouped into the following categories:
Candidate results.
Contact results.
Company results.
Job results.
Run a Field Search
Field Search allows you to search using a specific field name.
Start typing the name of the field in the Quick Search bar.
Select the relevant field from the drop-down list.
The fields are organized under the following categories:
Candidate results.
Contact results.
Company results.
Job results.
Quick Search for Jobs
Quick Search in the Job category looks through multiple fields to find matches, including:
Job Field | Description |
Position Name | Job title of the position |
ID | Numeric Job ID |
Industry (Vertical ID) | Numeric industry ID |
Company ID | Numeric company identifier |
Summary | Job brief |
Full Description | Internal Job Description |
Public Description | Public-facing Job Description |
Keywords | Job keywords |
Reason for Difficulty | Challenge reason field |
Notes | Job brief notes |
Custom Text Fields | Any configured custom text fields |
📌 Example:
If you enter “Selig” in Quick Search, it will search across all the fields above.
A job titled “Technical Services Manager” may still appear if “Selig” exists in its Internal Job Description.
⚠️ Important: Quick Search does not search the Job Brief of Job Leads. To do this, use Advanced Search.
Search by Company ID
To find open jobs for a specific company:
Type the Company ID (e.g., “28508” for Selig Group) in the Quick Search bar.
View all open jobs related to that company in the results.
📌 Note: Quick Search only displays open jobs in the results.

Important Notes About Quick Search
📌 Note: Quick Search only searches text fields within each entity.
Entity-Specific Searches:
Candidate names containing the keyword will appear under Candidate.
Contact names containing the keyword will appear under Contact.
Job titles containing the keyword will appear under Job.
Company names containing the keyword will appear under Company.
Cross-Search Limitation:
Quick Search does not cross-search entities.
For example, it cannot display all jobs belonging to a company found by keyword — use Table Search for that.
💡 Best Practices
Use Quick Search for fast, single-field lookups.
For complex or multi-field searches, click the green button to open the current search in Advanced Search.
Review your results in Table View for detailed data insights.
