Refining Your Search
Refine and calibrate your candidate pool by talking to Mira, ask for more, adjust criteria, and change direction, all in the same conversation.
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 Task 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.
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 Task, so you can jump back to any earlier search and pick up where you left off.
Export and share
Once the pool looks right, reveal the contacts you need and get the candidates out:
- Export the full pool: click Download file on the data file card for an Excel or CSV file with each candidate's name, title, company, location, experience, Qualifications, work history, education, email, phone, and LinkedIn.
- Export a subset: turn on Multi-select in the panel header, pick the candidates you want, then click Bulk download to export just those. Switch to Table view first if you want to scan the pool while you pick.
- Share: import the file into your ATS or a spreadsheet, or send the Task link so a hiring manager or client can review the results without a Mira account.
