This article describes how to create a Résumé Scout and Save Résumé Search criteria.

A Résumé Scout is a saved search that you set up to run automatically on a schedule you specify. The Résumé Scout will automatically scan the available résumés and send you a list of résumés that meet your criteria by e-mail. You may create up to 5 different Résumé Scouts and may edit or delete a Résumé Scout at any time.
