Candidate Profile
How to read and interpret the candidate information Mira provides.
Each candidate in your Shortlist comes with a detailed profile. Here's how to interpret the information and make the most of it.
What's in a profile
- Header: name, current title, and a link to the candidate's LinkedIn profile.
- AI Summary: a paragraph generated by Mira specifically for your search, highlighting the candidate's most relevant qualifications, experience patterns, and potential fit. It's not a generic bio.
- Work history: roles listed in reverse chronological order, with company, title, and dates.
- Education: degree, field, and institution with dates.
- Contact information: LinkedIn link (always available), plus email and phone where data exists; empty fields appear greyed out.
How to evaluate candidates
Look beyond titles
The same title means different responsibilities at different companies. "Senior Engineer" at a 10-person startup is a very different role from "Senior Engineer" at Google. Use the AI Summary and company context to understand the actual scope of experience.
Check career trajectory
Look at progression speed and company types across roles. Someone who moved from a large enterprise to a startup, then to a growth-stage company has a different profile than someone who stayed in enterprises.
Use the AI Summary as a starting point
The AI Summary highlights what's most relevant to your specific search. It's a good starting point, but always review the full work history and education for nuances the summary might not capture.
Contacting candidates
Contact details are included on each candidate card where available, email, phone, and a LinkedIn link. Retrieving a phone number may consume additional credits.
Tip: When reaching out, reference something specific from the candidate's profile. Personalized messages outperform generic outreach.
