# Candidate Profile Source: https://docs.mira.day/en/docs/agent-sourcing/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 [#whats-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 [#how-to-evaluate-candidates] Look beyond titles [#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 [#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 [#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 [#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.
