# Cleared Candidate Search

> Call the cleared candidates first. A routine Jane, the AI employee from Forge AI, runs for staffing and consulting firms.

Each time a job that needs a security clearance is created in your applicant tracking system, Jane reads the clearance level, skills and location. She records the employers and contracts in each candidate's history that required a clearance and ranks candidates by that evidence.

## How it works

1. **A cleared job is created.** Jane starts each time a job that needs a security clearance is created in your applicant tracking system and reads its clearance level, skills and location.
2. **Jane records clearance evidence.** For each candidate with the skills, Jane records the employers and contracts in their history that required a security clearance.
3. **Candidates ranked by that evidence.** Jane ranks the candidates by their clearance evidence and lists the employers and contracts she found beside each name.

**When it runs:** Each time a new job that needs a security clearance is created in your applicant tracking system.

**What stays with your team:** Jane ranks the candidates and records the evidence on her own. She never states that a person holds a clearance, and the recruiter confirms it with the candidate.

## Questions

### What does the Cleared Candidate Search routine do?

For each job that needs a clearance, it finds candidates with the skills and ranks them by the evidence that they hold a clearance, such as past employers and contracts that required one.

### Does Jane confirm that someone is cleared?

No. She reports the evidence she found. Only the candidate and the recruiter can confirm a clearance.

### Where does Jane look?

In your ATS, in Forge's candidate database of 1.2 billion profiles, and in public job postings at the employers in each person's history.

### Can we add our own signs of a clearance?

Yes. Tell Jane the employers, contracts or locations your recruiters treat as strong evidence and she weighs them on every job.
