Running a search

Describe a role, review the interpreted filters, then view your matching candidates.

Start a New Search to find people that match the role you’re hiring for. For a deeper look at what happens behind each step, see How search works.

1. Start a New Search

   Open New Search from the sidebar within your current project.

2. Describe who you're looking for

   Write the role in plain language — for example, “Senior Software Engineers with 5+ years Fintech experience, Python & AWS.”

3. Review the interpreted filters before your results

   Clarvo translates your description into filters and shows them as badges above your results. Review them first — confirm Clarvo understood the role correctly before you rely on the candidates it returns.

4. Adjust the filters

   Use Edit Search to reword your description, or Edit Filters to fine-tune the criteria. Each filter either narrows your results or just ranks them — see Search filters for the full breakdown.

5. Set your evaluation criteria

   Before results appear, confirm the criteria Clarvo should judge candidates on. The AI-powered evaluation against these criteria is a built-in step of every search — see How search works.

6. View your evaluated matches

   Clarvo returns matching candidates, each scored against your criteria and ordered by fit. Refine the filters at any time to widen or tighten the list.

7. Add to your shortlist

   Send the strongest matches to your Shortlist.
