The document discusses search trends and techniques for finding resumes on the job search platform Indeed. It notes that the number of searchable resumes on Indeed has grown significantly from 2 million in 2011 to 65 million today. While most job seekers and employers use basic searches, advanced search techniques could help employers better source candidates. The document then provides tips for maximizing response rates from candidates, such as keeping messages between 20-40 words, including a link to the job posting, and contacting candidates during peak hours between 7-9am.
