2. Create groups:
Categorize candidates into specific segments based on the selected criteria, such as junior professionals, experienced managers, or IT specialists.
3. Target effectively:
Use the segments to offer relevant job opportunities or tailored communication, ensuring you reach the right candidates more efficiently.
