Step 3 — Find candidates

With the job spec ready, your AI team goes looking. Candidates come from two places: TotalJobs searches, and CVs you upload from your own sourcing.

Search TotalJobs

1
Start a search
The team builds search terms from the job spec — not just the title, but the skills and experience the ad actually requires.
2
Review the results
Candidates are added to the job's pipeline with their CVs attached. You decide who stays.
3
Add or pass
Add the strong ones to the job. Everyone else stays in your roster for future roles.

Upload CVs

If you source candidates elsewhere — referrals, your own network, other job boards — upload their CVs directly. The team parses them and adds them to the same pipeline.

Tip Uploading CVs is free and unlimited. Your roster of candidates grows with every role and can be reused on future jobs.

Duplicates

Expera catches duplicates before you spend anything — if a candidate is already in your roster, they're linked rather than created twice. No double-paying for CVs you already own.

Key Takeaways
Searches come from the job spec, not just the title
