How should I describe a role to Mira?
Don’t think of it as filling out a form. Describe the role the way you’d explain it to a fellow recruiter:“I need a product manager who’s done B2B SaaS, ideally at a Series A-B company. Someone who can talk to customers and also go deep on data. Based in London or willing to relocate.”This natural briefing style gives Mira more context to work with than a formal JD with bullet points.
What are implicit criteria, and why do they matter?
The criteria you’d normally keep in your head or tell a recruiter verbally are exactly what makes Mira different from keyword search:- “Someone who’s been through hyper-growth.”
- “Has experience in a regulated industry.”
- “Can operate independently without a big team around them.”
- “The kind of person who’d thrive in a chaotic early-stage environment.”
Should my first search be perfect, or can I refine?
Refine. Your first search doesn’t need to be perfect. A common workflow:- Round 1: Describe the core requirements, keep it open.
- Review: Look at your candidate pool, notice patterns in who’s strong and who’s not.
- Round 2: “More candidates with payment industry experience, like Jane Doe has.” Anchor on the skills you liked, not the person.
- Round 3: Fine-tune geography, seniority, or company type.
Can my team collaborate on a candidate pool?
Yes. Download the candidate pool data file and share it with:- Hiring managers: Let them review candidates before you reach out.
- Team members: Split candidate outreach across the team.
- Your ATS / tracking sheet: Import for tracking and talent pipeline management.
Should I check LinkedIn after seeing the Qualifications assessment?
Yes. The Qualifications assessment gives you a quick read, but LinkedIn profiles often contain additional signals:- Posts and articles they’ve written (thought leadership).
- Recommendations from colleagues (peer validation).
- Activity patterns (are they actively looking?)
- Mutual connections (warm introduction potential).
