Already have a job written up? Let it do the searching for you. In AI Scout you can switch from writing a prompt to searching based on a job — pick one of your open roles and Lope turns its title and description into a complete, ranked search. No prompt to write from scratch.

​
Why use it

Most roles you recruit for are already described in detail: a title, responsibilities, must-have skills, location, seniority. Searching by job reuses that description instead of asking you to retype it. Lope reads the role, drafts the search for you, and lets you fine-tune before you run it. It’s also a quality-of-life shortcut for everyday sourcing. You already have the job in Lope — including roles you import from LinkedIn — so you can go from posting to ranked candidates without rebuilding the same criteria by hand. Import the job, switch to Search based on job, run the search, and start filling the role with strong matches right away.
The better your job description, the sharper the search. A clear title plus a few lines on skills, seniority, and location gives Lope the most to work with.

Run a search from a job

1

Open AI Scout and switch to Search based on job

At the top of AI Scout, toggle from Search by prompt to Search based on job.
Search based on job mode in AI Scout, with the job picker ready
2

Pick a job

Open Pick a job to search and choose one of your open roles. Lope reads that job’s title and description and generates the search automatically.
3

Review the generated search

Lope writes a plain-language prompt describing the ideal candidate and lights up the criteria it found — Job Title, Location, Skills, Years of Experience, and Industry. When pay is mentioned in the job description, Lope surfaces that salary band. It also runs a salary range estimation to suggest market-value benchmarks for the role.
Salary range estimation goes beyond what the job posting states. Lope can estimate a market-value salary band for the role — useful when the description is vague or leaves pay out entirely. This feature is still being refined, so treat the estimate as a starting point rather than a final number.

Take any suggestions (optional)

Lope may suggest ways to sharpen the search — for example, adding relevant skills for the role. Choose Accept all to apply them, or Dismiss to keep your version. You can edit the prompt directly at any time.
5

Choose where to search and run

Pick your source — Internal (your own database), Mixed, or External — then run the search. This only changes where Lope looks, not what it searches for. Lope takes you straight to the ranked results.
A job needs a title and a description before Lope can generate a search from it. If a job won’t generate, open it, add a few lines describing the role, and try again.

​
Fine-tune before you run

Want more control? Once Lope drafts the search, adjust it before you hit Run Search:
  • Edit the prompt — Click the pencil icon on the generated text and rewrite it directly.
  • Review applied filters — Lope shows what it pulled from the job as tags (job title, experience, skills, and more).
  • Open Edit filters — Click Edit filters to open the Search Filters modal. Pick and choose across Job Title, Location, Skills, Years of Experience, and Industry: swap the title, add or remove skills, set locations, and adjust the minimum years of experience. You can also mark skills as optional or use Find similar to expand the list.
Everything you change applies to this search only — your saved job stays as it is.

You can also launch this search straight from a job: open the job and click Find candidates to jump into the same generated search.

​
What you get back

Running the search lands you in AI Scout with a ranked list of candidates. Each one gets a relevance score and a plain-language explanation of why they matched, criterion by criterion. To learn how the scoring and colors work, see Understanding match scores.

​
Troubleshooting

Edit it before running. Rewrite the prompt directly, click Edit filters to adjust job title, location, skills, experience, or industry, or choose Accept all if Lope offers suggestions. A richer job description also produces a stronger draft.
Switch the source from Internal to Mixed or External to widen the search beyond your own database, then run it again. If it still looks off, contact support with the job link.
