• Be specific, but conversational. Rose responds well to natural language that describes the role clearly. Include seniority, location, industry, and any non-negotiables upfront. Good: I need a founding AE with 4+ years B2B SaaS experience, based in London or remote UK. Less effective: sales person.

• Use follow-up prompts to refine. If Rose's first packages aren't quite right, continue the conversation — tell her what you liked and what to change, and she'll iterate.

• Review multiple packages. Rose often returns two or more packages with different interpretations of your brief, each a different candidate profile worth considering.

• Check the reserve. Each package shows candidates in reserve beyond the initial 25. If the first batch doesn't produce enough interviews, ask Rose to show you more from the same package.

• Start broad, then narrow. Begin with one or two filters (e.g. role title and location) and watch how the match count changes as you add more. Adding all filters at once can result in a pool that's too small to be useful.

• Prioritise essential criteria first. Focus on the must-haves (geography, job title) before adding nice-to-haves (specific skills, education). This helps you understand the size of the core market before constraining it.

• Use the Company filter strategically. Targeting candidates from specific companies is one of the most reliable signals of relevant experience. If you're hiring for a specific vertical, compile a list of the leading companies in that space and enter them into the Company filter.

• Use the engagement signals. The 'Recently changed jobs', 'Posts on LinkedIn', and 'In the news' toggles can significantly improve response rates — active candidates or recent movers are often more open to new opportunities.

• Adapt to your industry. Some industries use specific job titles, accreditations, or keywords that don't appear in profiles from other sectors — a keyword standard in one field may not appear in another.

The Skills & Keywords and Role & Title filters support Boolean search operators, letting you build more precise, flexible queries.

Simple searches — no brackets needed. Within a single category, list terms with OR: VP OR "vice president" OR EVP OR SVP, or sales OR AE OR "account executive" OR BD OR "business development".

Use quotation marks for multi-word phrases. Without quotes, each word is treated independently. AE OR "account executive" is correct; AE OR account executive searches for AE, or account, or executive — not the same thing.

Use brackets when combining two categories. Wrap each group in brackets and join with AND: (manager OR lead OR senior) AND (sales OR account OR BD OR "business development"). This surfaces results like sales lead, BD manager, or senior account. The same logic applies to skills: ("javascript" OR JS) AND (python OR python3).
