10 candidates before the ad was approved
Job ads wait for approval. The people who can do the job don't need one. This is one real search: the exact brief, what came back, and what to do with it on the same day.
One sentence, typed as written
No job description, no codes. It describes the work (new business, B2B software, mid-market), one hard limit (4+ years carrying a quota) and the place.
It looked further than the title
Every person is read in full and marked Strong match, Possible match or Not a match against the whole brief, not just the title.
8 Strong matches, 2 Possible matches
Look at row 6. The title says "Product Specialist", not Account Executive. A title search would have missed this person.
What to do while the ad is still waiting
Ask for a yes or no on each and one sentence why. Ten minutes of their time, and every "no, because" sharpens the search.
Get email and phone for the people the manager liked. One fact about their work, the role, the pay range, a short question.
Type what the manager said: "more people from sales software companies", "commercial segment only". The next page follows it.
Run yours before your ad is approved
Type the role the way you'd describe it to a colleague. You get people who already do the job, ranked with a reason, with email and phone.
