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 the 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.
