A Saved Search is a search you frequently make and have chosen to save to avoid having to specify the same parameters every time you search for similar jobs. After saving a search, you will be able to run the same search again later with just one click. Agents are a special case of stored searches that are "run" for every new job at the end of the day. You will receive notification by email when your Agent finds new jobs matching your criteria.

Creating a Search Agent:

The first step to create an Agent is determining a job search criteria and creating a Saved Search (see above):

1. Log in to your LatPro job seeker account.
2. Go to the job search page by clicking on the Job Search tab.
3. Choose the desired criteria and click the Search button to generate the search results.
4. At the bottom of the Search Results page, click on Save this Search.
5. Once Saved Search pop-up screen is displayed, type in a name desired for your search.
6. Choose the option yes for the question "Make this search a job agent?"
7. Click on Save this Search.

If you already have a Saved Search and want to activate it as an agent, follow these steps:

• Go to your My LatPro page.
• Click on Saved searches.
• Click the Make Agent button next to the Saved Search you wish to make it an Agent.

Once the Agent is activated for that particular Saved Search, you will start receiving job postings by mail as they are being published on the site.

Viewing Agent Results Online:

• Go to your My LatPro page.
• Click on Saved Jobs and agent results.

Deleting an Agent: To deactivate an Agent, you will need to delete the Saved Search.

The most common problem that would prevent you from receiving e-mail notifications from the Job Agent is a narrow criteria set on the Saved Search. If that is the case, create a Saved Search with fewer search parameters and - if necessary, avoid using keywords since those will impose a very narrow search criteria.
