Filtering and sorting a list

The column menus: filter, sort, hide columns, and clear the active filters when the list looks emptier than it is.

Updated

A freshly extracted list is a table of candidates with one column per data point: headline, current company, name, LinkedIn, campaigns, tags, state and whatever columns the AI generated. Filtering is how you get from that table to the people you're actually going to message.

The column menu

Every column header has its own menu with four options:

  • Filters: filter the list by that column's value.
  • Sort A→Z and Sort Z→A: sort by that column. This is what you use on the AI Scoring columns to float the best fits to the top.
  • Hide Column: hides it. With lots of variables applied the table gets wide; hiding what you're not looking at helps more than it sounds.

Active filters

The filters you apply show up as tags above the table, under “Active filters”, and you clear them with the × on each tag.

They're worth checking before concluding "this list has barely any candidates": the counter at the bottom (Showing N candidate(s)) counts what passes the filter, not what's in the list. If the list says 25 and the bottom says 12, a filter is on.

An order that works: sort by the AI Scoring column first, then filter by what you don't negotiate (location, current company), and leave tags and state for last.

Rearranging and saving the view

Columns can be dragged to reorder them, and the “Edit view” button in the header controls what shows in the table. It's a working view: arrange it however makes review fastest for you.

If you run out of candidates

Filtering doesn't delete anyone, it only hides. If the filters leave you with very few profiles you have two ways out: clear filters, or bring more candidates into the list using the same search criteria.
