Rendering only if a field from one Object equals a field from another Object

I have two objects: Positions and Candidates. Each has a field named Job Title. I want to create a VF page that shows all instances Job Title matches in both Objects (I'm trying to match all Candidates in the system with new open jobs that we have open).

 

I got excited when I saw this code & used it on one of my Visualforce pages because it does something close to what we need, but not exactly:

 

<apex:page standardController="Position__c" recordSetVar="positions" sidebar="false" showHeader="false">
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <h1>Welcome to the Sloan Professional Services Careers Home Page!</h1>

        <br />
        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!positions}" var="position">
            <apex:column value="{!position.name}" rendered="{!IF(position.Status__c == 'Open - Approved', true, false)}"/>
            <apex:column value="{!position.Location__c}" rendered="{!IF(position.Status__c == 'Open - Approved', true, false)}"/>
            <apex:column value="{!position.Posted_Job_Description__c}" rendered="{!IF(position.Status__c == 'Open - Approved', true, false)}"/>
        </apex:pageBlockTable>
    </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

I tried changing what was being redered by making the IF statements apply to the Candidate field "Job Title" = Position "Job Title" but was completely unsuccessful. Anyone know how I can do this?

Hi Brett,

 

      I would say if you have a junction say "Job" object between Positions and Candidates, it would be easier to search the records in "Job" Object having a specific title. In this way you can get both position details and candidate details.

Thanks Sarge! How do I create an automatic listing (within the new "Job" Object) that will show when all Candidates Object field Position Title matches a given Position Object Position Title field? I'm basically doing the same thing as the Create View does but I don't want to have to enter the active Position.Position_Title every time in the filter criteria.
