Read the results and share a search

The results screen has two panes: the list of profiles on the left and the selected profile’s file on the right. Each criterion of your search has its own column, and each profile gets a verdict in it. No numeric score is shown.

​

The verdicts

For each criterion, Hirify says what the profile’s file establishes:

• Established: the file shows the criterion is met.
• Partial: the file meets it in part.
• Nothing on file: the file says nothing about this criterion.
• Contradicted: the file holds information that goes against the criterion.

Missing information is never treated as contrary information. Nothing on file points to a question to ask, not a flaw in the candidate. A legend of the verdicts is repeated at the bottom of the list.

​

The four groups

Profiles fall into four groups. Only Must-have criteria decide the group:

• Shortlisted: your pick for this job. A profile you shortlist moves here, whatever its verdicts.
• Match: no must-have is contradicted or without proof. A Partial verdict on a must-have keeps the profile in this group.
• To check: a must-have is still Nothing on file.
• Ruled out: a must-have is Contradicted by the file.

For contract, availability, day rate, and salary conditions, only contrary information counts. Missing information doesn’t put the profile in To check. It joins the points to confirm in the profile’s file. Each group collapses with Hide and expands with Show. The Ruled out group starts collapsed, and you can still open its profiles. Within a group, the order follows the verdicts: must-haves first, then Important criteria, which weigh on the order of the list, then Bonus criteria, which break ties between close profiles.

​

Read the list

At the top of the list, Ranked on must-haves recalls the grouping rule. On the right, one column per criterion, must-haves first. Hover over a column header to read the full criterion, its level, and what the brief requires. Each row shows:

• The profile’s name, followed by their current job and company.
• One mark per column: the profile’s verdict on that criterion.
• Applied before: the profile already applied to the ATS job attached to the search.
• Interview: the profile has an analyzed interview.

From eight criteria on, the first six keep their own column and the rest are grouped in an Others column. It counts the established criteria and flags a contradicted one. On hover, it lists each criterion with its verdict. The Up and Down arrow keys move from one profile to the next, and the file on the right follows. While evaluation is still running, the bottom of the list shows how many profiles are left to evaluate.

​

Open a profile’s file

Click a row. The right-hand pane shows the file, from top to bottom:

• The header: the profile’s name, current job, and company. An origin line says where the file comes from: the interview, with its date and the recruiter who led it, or the ATS record and the date it was last updated. The email address shows when it’s known, with a button to copy it.
• The group in one sentence: a panel explains why the profile is in its group. For a profile to check or ruled out, it names the must-haves at stake. The profile summary follows.
• Criterion by criterion: each criterion with its level, what the brief requires, the verdict spelled out, and what the file says about it. Under the verdict, the excerpt that proves it and its sources: Interview with the minute, CV, or ATS record. An interview source opens the transcript at the quoted passage.
• Ask at the next conversation: what the file can’t settle, including conditions to confirm such as To confirm: Contract. When the file covers every criterion, the section says so.
• With you: this profile’s applications and interviews in your organization, most recent first, with the job, the stage reached, and the recruiter.

If the proof comes from a colleague’s interview you don’t have access to, a padlock marks the source. At the top of the file, depending on the profile:

• ATS record: opens the record in your ATS.
• Rule out: removes the profile from this search’s results. It disappears from the list and doesn’t join the Ruled out group. A notification offers Cancel.
• Shortlist: moves the profile to the Shortlisted group. The button changes to Shortlisted, and another click removes it.
• More actions: the three-dot menu offers Write a message and, for a profile with an interview, View the interview.

​

Ask a question about the profiles

At the bottom of the file, a field opens the Assistant in a conversation linked to the search. With a profile selected, the question is about that profile. With no selection, it’s about all the profiles found.

​

Share the search

The Share button, at the top right of the results, brings together the visibility setting and three ways to get the shortlist out. A search is visible to the whole team by default. A brief that asks for a confidential search shows the Private search chip and creates a search set to Only me.

​

Earlier searches

A search run before the switch to criteria shows This search predates the criteria model. Click Run search again to get a verdict for each criterion. The rerun uses one search from your hourly budget.

​

Good to know

• No numeric score. The group and the verdicts place the profile against the job as you described it. They’re neither an assessment of the person nor a decision.
• A filter rules profiles out before evaluation. A profile that contradicts a filter from the brief doesn’t show in the list. The results header shows how many profiles were filtered out and by which filter. See Start a search.
• Ruling out only affects this search. The profile stays in your talent pool and will come up in other searches.
• Nothing is sent to the candidate or written to your ATS. The shortlist is text you paste wherever you want.
