When you're sourcing at volume, processing candidates one by one kills momentum. Bulk actions in AIRA Source let you select multiple candidates from your search results and act on all of them at once — adding them to your database, finding contact info, assigning them to jobs, and enrolling them in campaigns without leaving the interface.
Available bulk actions
Add to Database – Import selected candidates into Recruiterflow in one click
Find Email – Look up email addresses for selected candidates (2 AIRA credits per candidate)
Find Phone – Look up phone numbers for selected candidates (2 AIRA credits per candidate)
Add to Job – Assign selected candidates to a specific job opening
Add to Campaigns – Enroll selected candidates in an outreach campaign
How to bulk add candidates
Step 1: Run your search
Set your filters — Job Title, Location, Years of Experience, and Function are required. Add optional filters to sharpen results. Review the candidate cards before selecting anyone.
Step 2: Select candidates
Check the boxes next to the candidates you want. You can select up to 10 candidates per page. Scan each card quickly before checking — job title, company, location, and contact availability are good signals.
Tip: Set the Source For field before searching. Candidates you bulk-add will automatically land in the Sourced stage for that job — no extra step needed.
Step 3: Click "Bulk Add to Database"
Once candidates are selected, click Bulk Add to Database at the top of the results. All selected candidates are imported immediately. If you set a Source For job, they're added to that job's pipeline in the Sourced stage.
Step 4: Run follow-up actions
After adding candidates, chain additional actions without leaving AIRA Source:
Find Email – Looks up email addresses (2 credits per candidate)
Find Phone – Looks up phone numbers (2 credits per candidate)
Add to Job – Assigns candidates to a job from the dropdown
Add to Campaigns – Enrolls candidates in an outreach campaign
You can run multiple actions back-to-back — add to a job, find emails, enroll in a campaign — all in one session.
Working with more than 10 candidates
AIRA Source shows 10 results per page. To add more than 10 candidates, bulk-add on page 1, then navigate to page 2 and repeat. Selection resets when you change pages, so bulk-add before moving on.
Credit usage
Email and phone lookups each cost 2 AIRA credits per candidate. Finding contact info for 10 candidates costs 20 credits for email and 20 for phone. Before running bulk lookups, check the contact availability indicators on candidate cards — prioritizing candidates with existing data stretches your credits further.
