Tell the AI recruiter what matters, and Deep Search checks each person it reviews against every requirement. Every label comes with the evidence behind it, and you decide who to contact.
Deep Search is for the moment the requirements are clear. The AI recruiter first asks what matters, then it searches 900M+ profiles in 190+ countries and scores each person it reviews against your requirements. Each score comes with its reasons, and you decide who to contact.
One Deep Search list uses 100 Credits, and the conversation with the AI recruiter uses none. If you are still working out the brief, start in Fast Search and continue from there.
A one-line brief leaves out most of what you will judge people on. Deep Search asks for the rest first, so the list is scored against what you meant.
The recording is a real search for a role at Metix AI. The brief was one sentence: a GTM Manager in the San Francisco Bay Area, with 3 to 6 years in field marketing, community or partnerships at a B2B SaaS startup.
Before it searched, the AI recruiter asked four questions: what the person will own day to day, what the work model is, what the minimum education is, and which types of companies the talent should come from. The answers became the scoring criteria.
The first pass in the recording found 31 people, and only 1 met the bar. Deep Search said so. It explained that the pool was mostly adjacent roles, and it offered three ways forward: deliver the one candidate, broaden the profile, or broaden the geography.
The recruiter chose to widen the experience range to 2 to 7 years and to include larger B2B SaaS companies. The final list came from 3,604 people searched, of whom Deep Search reviewed and ranked 676. It marked 118 as qualified, and the other 558 were marked Not Match and stay visible, so you can check the call.
Open any person and the reasons are there, under a heading that reads Mira's Recommendation. Mira is the AI recruiter inside Metix AI. In the recording, the first Strong Match shows three ticks: a GTM or field marketing function, 2 to 7 years at B2B SaaS, and a bachelor's degree. This is the part you take to the hiring manager.
The video replays the finished search: the brief, the questions, the thin first pass, the wider second pass, and the scored list. Then it opens a profile and reads the reasons.
Recorded on a live Metix AI account on October 26, 2026, with candidate names, photos and contact details replaced during recording. The counts belong to that one search, and yours will depend on the role, the location and the criteria. The drawings on this page use sample names.
