Search History
Every sourcing search you run is saved automatically, so you can revisit results, rerun queries on a schedule, and track who's newly matching your criteria over time.
Opening Search History#
Click Sourcer → History in the main navigation.
What's stored#
For each past search, Elly keeps:
- The query and all filters exactly as you ran them.
- The timestamp of when you ran it.
- The result count at the time.
- A name — either auto-generated from the filters, or something you set manually.
Candidates themselves are not duplicated across searches — Sourcer's underlying database is shared, so reruns reflect the current state of that database, not a frozen snapshot.
Rerunning a search#
Click any entry in the history to see its details, then Rerun. The query is executed again against the current data, and you get a fresh result grid.
When you rerun, Elly highlights candidates who are new since the last run — people who weren't in your previous results but match now. This is the main reason to rerun searches: catching fresh matches as the database grows or as people change jobs.
Editing a saved search#
To tweak filters without losing the original:
- Open the search from history.
- Click Duplicate (or the equivalent "Clone" action).
- Adjust filters on the copy and save it with a new name.
Editing the original search directly is also supported, but cloning is usually safer — it preserves the original for comparison.
Exporting results#
From any past search's result grid, click Export to download a CSV.
- Candidates you've previewed are included with full profile data.
- Candidates you haven't opened are included with basic card-level info only.
- Enriched contact info is included if you've enriched the candidate.
Export respects any selection or filtering you apply within the results grid — narrow the list first if you don't want everything.
Cleaning up#
From the history list, use the menu on each entry to:
- Rename — Give a clearer name to an auto-named search.
- Delete — Remove the saved search. Deleting a search doesn't delete the candidates themselves; it only removes the saved query.
