# Inside a Candidate Profile Source: https://docs.mira.day/en/docs/sourcing/candidate-profile > How to read a candidate in MiraDay. The card fields, the Qualifications assessment and fit label, the full profile view, and how to evaluate fit. Every candidate in your pool comes with a profile built for your search. Each profile is a single person: Mira merges the same person found across multiple public sources into one candidate, so you won't see duplicates, and the profile keeps filling in as more is gathered from those sources. Here's how to read it and judge fit. What's on a candidate card [#whats-on-a-candidate-card] Candidate profiles with name, location, current role, education, and a Qualifications assessment with the Good Match fit label In the results panel, each candidate shows as a card with: * **Header**: name, and clickable source links to the person's profiles on the sources the search drew on, such as LinkedIn, GitHub, Hugging Face, and X (Twitter), plus the recruiting platforms they were found on. Ask Mira to search a source like GitHub or Hugging Face, and links to those profiles appear on the card. * **Current role** (title · company · dates), then **location · highest education** (degree, school, field, years) on the line below. * A **Qualifications** preview with the overall fit label, showing the first five requirements, with **Show more** to expand the rest. Click a card to open the full **Profile**. It adds Email and Phone rows, an **About** summary, the full per-requirement assessment, complete work experience and education, skills and languages, GitHub and Hugging Face activity, papers, awards, certifications, and courses where available, and a **More** section with web and news mentions (article title, publish date, and a relevant line). Use the arrows at the top to move to the previous or next candidate. The results panel opens in **Card view**. Switch to **List view** with the toggle at the top of the panel to see a compact table (candidate and fit label, links, email, phone, location, job title, company, school, degree, major), useful for scanning many at once. The fit label [#the-fit-label] Each candidate carries a color-coded fit label that sums up how well they match your search: * **Good Match** (green): the strongest matches against your requirements. * **Partial Match** (yellow): partial matches worth a look. * **Low Match** (grey): the furthest-out candidates, weakest against your requirements. Candidates are ordered by fit, so the strongest matches sit at the top. The Qualifications assessment [#the-qualifications-assessment] The **Qualifications** section lists your must-haves one at a time. For each, Mira marks whether the candidate meets it (check), the evidence is thin (dash), or they fall short (cross), with the evidence behind each. It's written for your specific search, not a generic bio. How to evaluate a candidate [#how-to-evaluate-a-candidate] The label and Qualifications are a fast read. Before you decide, look deeper: * **Look beyond titles.** The same title means different things at different companies. "Senior Engineer" at a 10-person startup is a very different role from the same title at a large company. Use company context to read the real scope. * **Check the career trajectory.** Progression speed and the types of companies across roles say a lot. Someone who moved enterprise, then startup, then growth-stage has a different profile from someone who stayed in one setting. * **Use the Qualifications as a starting point.** It highlights what's most relevant to your search. Read the full work history and education for the nuance it can't capture. Contacting candidates [#contacting-candidates] Each card has an Email and a Phone row. Click **Get email** or **Get phone** to reveal it, on the card, in List view, or in the full profile. While a phone lookup runs, the row shows **Getting phone…**. To reveal several at once, hover a card's avatar and tick its checkbox (or use **Select all**), then click **Get emails** or **Get phones** in the bar at the bottom of the panel, up to 50 people per run. Revealing uses credits, and a phone costs more than an email. Save a candidate [#save-a-candidate] To keep someone beyond this search, click the **Add to contacts** icon at the top right of their card (or the button in their full profile). To save several, tick their checkboxes and click **Add to contacts** in the bottom bar. They're added to [Contacts](/en/docs/tools-and-teamwork/contacts), your workspace-level list, where you can enrich them and keep them up to date. What's next [#whats-next] * [Refining Your Search](/en/docs/sourcing/refine-and-export): sharpen the pool by conversation. * [Contacts](/en/docs/tools-and-teamwork/contacts): keep and organize the people you save. * [Export & Share](/en/docs/get-started/export-and-share): reveal contacts and export the pool.
