A segment is a saved filter — a snapshot of your Advanced Search criteria that Recruiterflow keeps alive and automatically updates. Any candidate (or contact, job, or company) that matches the filter appears in the segment. When they no longer match, they drop out. You never have to re-run the search.

Think of segments as the standing lists your team keeps coming back to: "Python devs in London available now," "candidates we rated 4+ stars but haven't placed yet," "contacts at target accounts with no activity in 90 days." Instead of rebuilding those searches from scratch each week, you save them once and they stay current.

They replace repetitive searches. The moment a new candidate matches your criteria, they appear. The moment they don't, they're gone. Your list reflects reality without any manual upkeep.

They give your team a shared view. Segments can be shared with teammates, so everyone is looking at the same filtered list. No more "can you send me the shortlist?" — the segment is the shortlist, live and always current.

They plug directly into campaigns and bulk actions. Once you have a segment, you can add everyone in it to a campaign, bulk-tag them, export them, or take other actions in one go. The segment becomes the starting point for outreach, not just a view.

They keep your pipeline organised across roles and stages. Instead of one giant candidate database, segments let you carve out the slices that matter for a given brief, team, or workflow — without duplicating any data.
