Questions about Lookalike Candidate Search
What does the Lookalike Candidate Search routine do?
After a list is worked, it finds what the strongest candidates on it have in common and searches for more people who share those traits.
Can we see and change the traits before Jane searches?
Yes. Jane shows the recruiter the shared traits first, and the recruiter can remove or add any before she runs the search.
Does Jane contact the new people?
No. This routine adds them to the list. Any outreach goes through a recruiter, who approves every message.
Where does Jane look for more people?
In your own ATS first, then in Forge's candidate database of 1.2 billion profiles outside it.
