  **Reminder:** To **narrow** your search, edit your project’s filters. To **rank** your search, edit your project’s criteria.
</Tip>

## Reviewing Results

Once you run your results, candidates will appear in a ranked view, giving you the best matched candidates right off the bat. Each profile will receive a score against the set criteria, and will be shown as:

1. **Good Match (Green thumbs up):** signifies that the criteria are fulfilled, either through explicit mention on the candidate’s profile or through AI inference.
2. **Potential fit (Yellow thumbs up):** suggests that the criteria are likely met but with some ambiguity, or that there is some evidence missing. \*\*
3. **Not a match (Red stop sign):** indicates that there is no evidence that the criteria are met based on the information available. \*\*

To gain deeper insight into an individual candidate or action on multiple candidates at once, switch between the Classic and Table views.

### **Classic View**

Use Juicebox’s classic view to individually review candidates and their match analysis.

To learn more about a candidate:

1. Click on the candidate’s name to review their full profile
2. **Recommended:** Select Review at the top to open a side-by-side view of the candidate’s background and Juicebox’s match analysis. Interact with each criterion to see exactly where that experience appears within the candidate’s profile.

### **Table View**

Use Juicebox’s table view to efficiently review and select a larger set of candidates alongside a snapshot of their match analysis.

To learn more about a candidate:

1. Click on the candidate’s name to review their full profile
2. Tailor the table to include additional information such as Education, Location, Company and Job Title
3. Expand a single row in order to look at a candidate’s match analysis overview
4. **Recommended:** Select Review at the top to open a side-by-side view of the candidate’s background and Juicebox’s match analysis. Interact with each criterion to see exactly where that experience appears within the candidate’s profile

1. Directly shortlist as you scroll from the classic or table view
2. Individually “Add to Shortlist” from the candidate’s profile or Review results
3. Bulk select > Add to Shortlist from the classic or table view

## Iterating on your Search

Adjust your filters or criteria at any time to continue to iterate on your search and ensure you are finding the best candidates.
