Refining Your Search
Sharpen your candidate pool by talking to Mira: ask for more, adjust criteria, or change direction in the same conversation. Then export the candidates you want.
A first search gets you a strong starting pool, rarely the final one. The fastest way to sharpen it is to keep talking to Mira in the same conversation, the way a recruiter recalibrates the profile after seeing the first batch or hearing feedback from the hiring manager or client.
Refine by conversation
After a pool comes back, tell Mira what to change. Each follow-up continues the same channel and adjusts the search.
| To do this | Say something like |
|---|---|
| Get more candidates | "Find me 10 more" or "Keep searching" |
| Adjust criteria | "Focus on candidates with more startup experience" |
| Change location | "Only London, not remote" or "Include Amsterdam too" |
| Broaden the search | "Also include mid-level candidates" |
| Narrow the search | "Only people currently at high-growth startups" |
You don't start over. Mira keeps the context of the search and applies your change on top of it.
To change specific criteria yourself, expand the Ideal Candidate Profile bar at the top of the results panel, edit the rows, and click Search. Mira starts a new round with the updated profile. If a search is still running, you can Wait for it or Start new search. If the profile gets updated in the conversation before you send your edits, those unsent edits are discarded. See Must-haves & Dealbreakers.
Choosing how many
Mira returns 40 candidates by default. To change that, say a number when you describe the role ("find me 50 ML engineers"), or ask for more at any point in the conversation.
Start a new search
For a different role, click New channel in the sidebar. Each conversation is saved there as a channel, so you can jump back to any earlier search and pick up where you left off.
Export and share
Once the pool looks right, click Download profiles at the top of the results panel for an Excel (.xlsx) file, or tick candidates and click Bulk download to export just those. For what the file contains and how to share it, see Export & Share.
