# Find candidates you have already sourced

Reuse your existing candidate database: search past resumes and accepted recruiting context, check freshness and build a new role shortlist.

Web version: https://candikeep.com/use-cases/rediscover-candidates/

A new role can begin with the people you already know.

## The candidate exists. The context is scattered.

You remember a promising person from a previous assignment, but their resume is in a folder and the useful detail came from a call. Reopening every file is slow; starting a new sourcing exercise repeats work you already did.

CandiKeep gives existing resumes and accepted recruiting context a searchable home. It is useful for independent recruiters moving between client roles and founders returning to people they met before.

## Search the knowledge, then verify the fit

1. Import the resumes you already have and review the extracted profiles.
2. Search by names, skills or role terms. Narrow with supported company, current-location and maximum current INR CTC filters when relevant.
3. Read the context behind a possible match. A skill mention does not establish depth, recency or willingness to take the role.
4. Save a shortlist in a role workspace and record follow-ups. Reconfirm important current details with the candidate.

## An illustrative starting point

“Who in my existing database has Python and forecasting experience?” is a useful first pass. Read the returned profiles to distinguish a personal project from professional experience, then check the role’s actual requirements. Optional AI refinement can help inspect evidence; it does not guarantee suitability.

A candidate ruled out as “outside budget” for an earlier role may still be relevant now. Keep that feedback with its role workspace rather than treating it as a permanent property of the person.
