Find candidates the way you'd brief a colleague
AIRA Search (also called Natural Language Search, or NLS) lets you search your candidate database by describing who you're looking for in plain English. No filters, or boolean strings, or field-by-field construction.
Instead of building a search like
Title: VP Sales
Location: NYC
Industry: SaaS,
you type:
"A VP of Sales based in New York who's grown revenue at a SaaS company and built teams from scratch."
AIRA interprets your query, breaks it into structured filters and qualitative signals, and returns a ranked list of candidates with evidence explaining why each one matched.
What makes it different from Advanced Search
Structured filters only reach data that lives in fields like job title, location, years of experience, etc. They cannot find candidates based on signals like deal sizes, promotion velocity, growth trajectory, or anything that lives in notes, call transcripts, or resume narratives.
AIRA Search reads across all of that, structured fields and unstructured data, and ranks results by fit, not just by filter match.
What AIRA Search can do
Interpret free-form queries and extract structured filters automatically
Rank candidates against qualitative criteria (e.g. "strong closer", "high promotion velocity") using the AIRA Talent Graph
Show you why each candidate ranked highly with specific evidence from their profile, not generic labels
Let you refine your search conversationally, without rebuilding filters from scratch
Support bulk actions directly from results: add to job, add to sequence, send email
Who can use AIRA Search
AIRA Search is available exclusively on the AIRA Plan. If you're on a different plan, you'll continue to see the standard Advanced Search bar. To access AIRA Search, your account needs to be on the AIRA Plan.
How it works (in brief)
Initiate AIRA Search by clicking on the top right AIRA icon as seen in the image or if you use a Mac, simply click cmd button twice
AIRA Search opens up. You type a natural language query in the AIRA Search bar.
AIRA parses your query into quantitative filters (title, location, experience) and qualitative signals (deal size, growth trajectory, etc)
It may ask a clarifying question if your query is ambiguous
Results load as a ranked table, with match scores and AIRA Insight evidence for each candidate
You can refine, edit filters, or add criteria directly from the results view
