Using Executive Condition Attributes

When editing your Attributes list, the Executive Condition filter allows you to refine your job candidate searches by focusing on specific executive roles and the companies where candidates have previously worked. This filter helps you narrow down your search to candidates with specific job titles and past work experiences at particular organizations, enabling more targeted and effective searches for high-level positions.

To open the Executive Condition filter, from the Attributes list, scroll all the way down and click on Show More Filters to reveal additional filtering options. Find the Executive Condition filter at the very bottom.

You can also combine Executive Conditions with existing Findem Magic attributes. For example, if your organization has a custom attribute like CFO/CEO/COO/CAO at charter public school (available under Findem Magic > Custom), you can use it alongside Executive Conditions to precisely target candidates who have held these C-suite roles at a curated list of charter public schools. If this custom attribute's visibility is set to Org Public, it will be available to all users in your organization.

Define Your Search Criteria Using the Executive Condition Filter

To get started,

1. Click on the Add Executive Condition button.
2. You will be able to input specific roles, titles, and company names here.
3. Narrow down by Executive Title and Company.
4. Select a specific executive role:
   • For example, if you're looking for candidates who have held the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO), you can input that title into the Executive Condition filter.
5. Select a specific company:
   • If you're targeting candidates from a particular company (let's say Target for example) you can filter for this company specifically.
     • Use the drop-down list or search bar to find and select Target U.S. Brands (or any specific division of Target you're interested in).
6. Apply the filter. Once you've selected the company and the title (e.g., COO), apply the filter to generate a list of candidates who meet this exact criteria.

To refine the search further, you can adjust the criteria to include different industries or roles. For example, you can search for retail companies or any specific company list relevant to your needs.

To broaden or specify your search, you can add additional conditions. For instance, if you want to find candidates who have worked as a Store Manager or Store Director at any retail company, you can input those roles into the search.

If you are searching for candidates who have been CEOs, COOs, CFOs, or Chief Academic Officers at a set of specific charter schools, you can either (1) use the Executive Condition filter with a custom company list of those schools, or (2) select an existing custom attribute such as CFO/CEO/COO/CAO at charter public school from Findem Magic > Custom. That attribute returns candidates who have held those executive roles at charter public schools defined in the underlying custom companies list.

You can add or remove conditions, adjusting your search until you find the right candidates.

What's the real difference between Executive Conditioning and standard Job Title current/past filters?

Standard filters (like Job Title = Past Consultant, Company = McKinsey):

• Check whether someone has ever had that title
• And whether they've ever worked at that company
• Each filter is applied independently, across the entire profile
• But they don't check if the person was a Consultant at McKinsey
   

Result: You might get someone who was a Consultant at a startup and also worked at McKinsey as a recruiter. Both filters are technically true — but not together.

++Executive Conditioning (aka Precision Persona Builder):

• Allows Boolean-style logic at the experience level
• Links title + company + time into a single experience block
• Lets you define career patterns (e.g., what someone used to be + what they are now)

For Example: You can say: "This person was a Consultant at a Top Consulting Firm in the Past AND is currently a Customer Success Manager at a B2B SaaS company"
 

Why It Matters

Executive Conditioning respects career context, not just surface-level attributes.

It's your tool for:

• Exploring persona-based sourcing hypotheses
• Avoiding false positives that meet the filters, but not the story
• Testing hiring manager wish lists built off single success stories
