Global Search
Find anyone, fast. Search across applicants, employees, projects, and assignments from one streamlined header — with key details at a glance.
One search bar. Every applicant, employee, project, and assignment. Found in seconds.
Global Search is the recruiting search software built into the ATS Mako header, so the answer is always one keystroke away. Search across applicants, employees, projects, and assignments from a single streamlined bar, with key details surfaced at a glance. No tab-hopping, no guessing which tool the record lives in, no dead ends.
Why recruiters care
- Stop hunting. Type a name, a project, an assignment, and the record is in front of you, key details and all, before the page even settles.
- Pick up where you left off in seconds. Pull a candidate mid-conversation and fire off the next text or email without losing the thread.
- No dropped candidates. If someone is in your database, Global Search finds them, so nobody slips through the cracks while you chase the next req.
- Designed for recruiters, not administrators. One bar, every record, zero clicks wasted on navigation.
Why HR leaders care
- Total visibility across applicants, employees, projects, and assignments from a single point of entry, so the whole desk runs on one source of truth.
- Consistency at scale. As your team and your database grow, every recruiter searches the same way and finds the same complete picture.
- Accountability you can trust. When every record is instantly retrievable, nothing hides and nothing gets lost in a forgotten spreadsheet.
- Speed that compounds. Faster lookups mean more candidate touches per recruiter, per hour, across the entire team.
From busywork to a hiring engine.
The old way
- Jumping between five disconnected tools to track down one candidate.
- Re-keying the same name into separate systems just to piece together a single record.
- Losing strong candidates in a tangle of spreadsheets, inboxes, and stale notes.
With ATS Mako
- One header search covers applicants, employees, projects, and assignments at once.
- Type once, see key details instantly, and move straight to your next action.
- Every record is one keystroke away, so no qualified candidate ever goes missing.

Global Search FAQ
What can I search for with Global Search?
Applicants, employees, projects, and assignments, all from one streamlined bar in the header. It is recruiting search software built to cover your whole desk, not just a single record type.
Where does the search bar live?
Right in the header, on every screen. You can run a candidate database search mid-task without navigating away from what you are doing.
Will I see enough to know I found the right record?
Yes. Results surface key details at a glance, so you can confirm the correct applicant, project, or assignment and act on it immediately, without opening multiple screens.
How is this different from a basic candidate list filter?
A filter only works inside one list. Global Search is recruiting CRM search across applicants, employees, projects, and assignments at once, so you find any record from a single point of entry instead of hunting tool by tool.
Does Global Search stay on my brand?
Always. ATS Mako is fully white-label, so applicant search software runs under your logo, your colors, and your domain. Update once, deploy everywhere.
Can I jump straight from a search result into reaching out to a candidate?
Yes. Pull a candidate from the search bar and move directly into your next action, whether that is sending a text or an email. SMS outreach follows TCPA practices like consent and Reply STOP, and email follows CAN-SPAM with a clear unsubscribe, so every touch stays compliant.
