How Search Works
From a sentence to a shortlist
Clarvo turns a plain-language description into a transparent, reviewable search, so you see exactly what's driving every match before you act.
Senior Software Engineer, 5+ yrs in Fintech, Python & AWS
Describe who you want
Write the role the way you'd say it out loud. Titles, skills, experience, location. No Boolean operators, no rigid syntax.
Review the interpreted filters
Clarvo shows exactly what it understood as a row of badges, so you can confirm it read the role right before you rely on a single result.
Set what matters most
Add plain-language evaluation criteria and order them by weight. The criteria at the top carry the most influence over who surfaces.
Get surfaced, reasoned matches
Every candidate is scored against your criteria and ordered by fit. You see the reasoning behind each match, never a black box.
Search Modes
Widen or tighten, on demand
Dial coverage up or down without rewriting your search. Go broad for the hard-to-fill roles, precise for the non-negotiables.
Regular Search
FastestSearches Clarvo's candidate pool and returns the best matches for your role. Hard filters narrow, semantic matching surfaces by meaning, and your criteria score the results. Fast and focused when coverage is already strong.
Deep Search
Maximum coverageRuns several searches in parallel: your pool, a broader semantic sweep, a company-angle search, and external sources. It then de-dupes and surfaces the best so every candidate competes equally. Built for hard-to-fill, niche, and specialized roles.
Match skills loosely or strictly
The same search, two precisions. Switch skill logic to widen the pool or lock it down to exactly what the role demands.
Loose matching
ORAny-of logic: candidates need just one of the required skills. Adding more skills widens the pool instead of shrinking it.
Strict matching
MUST / CANBoolean groups: candidates must match at least one skill from every Must group, while Can groups only boost who surfaces.
Deep search widens the candidate pool. It doesn't loosen your hard filters.
Filters
Filters that surface, not just remove
26+ filters that understand meaning. Hard filters cut what's non-negotiable; soft filters boost the right people without throwing anyone away.
Hard filters narrow
Non-negotiables like location, required languages, seniority, and education level. Candidates that don't match are removed from the list entirely.
Soft filters boost
Preferences like job titles, industries, and field of study. Matching candidates move up, but non-matching candidates still appear, surfaced by how close they are.

“VP Engineering” and “Head of Engineering” are the same role. Fintech experience counts for a payments startup.

AI Evaluation
See the reasoning behind every match
Write what matters in plain language. Clarvo scores every candidate against it and shows its reasoning, so you stop guessing and start trusting.
Why this match: Led a 12-person platform team and scaled payments infra at a Series B fintech.
Criteria, not keywords
Write what matters in plain language, like 'Has led a team' or 'Scaled a B2B SaaS product,' then order it by weight. The criteria at the top carry the most influence.
Signals, not gates
Criteria shape who surfaces and in what order. A candidate who misses one still appears, just lower down, so you never lose a strong outlier.
Reasoning you can read
Every candidate gets a score and an explanation of why they fit. No black box, no AI-polished resume looking identical to the next.
