Keep requirements explicit and update outdated briefings.\n \n\n \n A candidate check means checking one individual candidate against one specific\n briefing.\n \n\n \n Credit cost depends on two things:\n\n * Managed AI or BYOK mode\n * New check or existing recent check\n\n Quick reference:\n\n * Managed: new `4`, recent `2`\n * BYOK: new `1`, recent `0`\n\n See full details: [Candidate Checks](/docs/candidate-checks)\n \n\n \n Recency window controls how long a previous check counts as recent for pricing (`30`, `60`, or `90` days). Higher window usually means lower average check cost.\n\n Open settings: [Candidate Recency Window](https://next.talentsourcer.ai/settings#candidate-recency-window)\n \n\n \n BYOK means Bring Your Own Keys. You connect your own provider key (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google).\n\n Teams use it to:\n\n * get more checks from the same budget\n * reduce effective cost uncertainty\n * control model quality vs cost per action\n\n See full details: [BYOK and AI Cost Controls](/docs/byok-and-ai-cost-controls)\n \n\n \n LinkedIn imports are capped by account and platform limits. In practice,\n imports can be limited up to 2,500 results per LinkedIn account per day,\n depending on account type and available results.\n \n\n \n Yes. You can import from ATS (Recruit CRM) or CSV. For CSV, include LinkedIn\n profile links so we can fetch profile data.\n \n\n \n Candidates without a valid LinkedIn profile link are skipped.\n \n\n \n Rerun when:\n\n * role requirements changed,\n * significant new candidate data appears,\n * previous output had low confidence.\n\n If requirement wording changed, duplicate the briefing and use a new version.\n \n\n \n Use one project per role or hiring initiative. Avoid mixing unrelated roles in\n a single project.\n \n\n \n After at least one candidate has been checked against a briefing, individual requirement text is locked.\n\n You can still:\n\n * move requirements between must-have and nice-to-have\n * change nice-to-have weights\n\n If you need text changes, duplicate the briefing and edit the new version.\n \n\n \n Yes. Update must-have and nice-to-have rules, then recategorize. Scores and\n categories are recalculated without rerunning imports.\n \n\n \n Yes. Recategorization does not consume additional credits.\n \n\n \n Recategorization applies your latest requirement logic to already checked\n candidates, then recalculates fit scores and category assignment.\n \n\n \n\n \n Yes, in managed mode campaign generation costs `1` credit per candidate. If BYOK is connected for campaign generation, it is `0` credits.\n\n Always free:\n\n * test generation\n * single-message regeneration\n\n See details: [Campaigns and Export](/docs/campaigns-and-export)\n \n\n \n Export includes candidate profile fields, candidate-check context, contact\n data, generated messages, notes, and metadata.\n \n\n \n * Billing: [Open Billing](https://next.talentsourcer.ai/billing)\n * LinkedIn connections: [Open Manage Personas](https://next.talentsourcer.ai/settings/personas)\n * API keys (BYOK): [Open LLM Provider Settings](https://next.talentsourcer.ai/settings#llm-providers)\n \n\n","pageTree",{"_13":14,"_15":16},"$fumadocs_loader","page-tree","data",{"_17":18,"_19":20,"_21":22},"$id","root","name","Docs","children",[23,35,41,47,53,59,65,71,77,83,89,95,99],{"_17":24,"_25":26,"_19":27,"_28":29,"_30":-7,"_7":31,"_32":33},"index.mdx","type","page","TalentSourcer AI Docs","description","User guide for recruiters and hiring teams.","icon","/docs","$ref",{"_34":24},"file",{"_17":36,"_25":26,"_19":37,"_28":38,"_30":-7,"_7":39,"_32":40},"getting-started.mdx","Getting Started","First-time setup for recruiters and hiring managers.","/docs/getting-started",{"_34":36},{"_17":42,"_25":26,"_19":43,"_28":44,"_30":-7,"_7":45,"_32":46},"linkedin-account-setup.mdx","LinkedIn Account Setup","Connect your LinkedIn account for LinkedIn search imports.","/docs/linkedin-account-setup",{"_34":42},{"_17":48,"_25":26,"_19":49,"_28":50,"_30":-7,"_7":51,"_32":52},"briefings.mdx","Briefings","Build solid must-have and nice-to-have requirements.","/docs/briefings",{"_34":48},{"_17":54,"_25":26,"_19":55,"_28":56,"_30":-7,"_7":57,"_32":58},"sourcing-and-imports.mdx","Sourcing and Imports","Bring candidate pools in from LinkedIn, ATS, or CSV.","/docs/sourcing-and-imports",{"_34":54},{"_17":60,"_25":26,"_19":61,"_28":62,"_30":-7,"_7":63,"_32":64},"candidate-checks.mdx","Candidate Checks","How to run and interpret candidate checks.","/docs/candidate-checks",{"_34":60},{"_17":66,"_25":26,"_19":67,"_28":68,"_30":-7,"_7":69,"_32":70},"talent-pool-insights.mdx","Talent Pool Insights","Resize and refine your pool by adjusting requirements.","/docs/talent-pool-insights",{"_34":66},{"_17":72,"_25":26,"_19":73,"_28":74,"_30":-7,"_7":75,"_32":76},"shortlists-and-collaboration.mdx","Shortlists and Collaboration","Organize finalists and collaborate with your team.","/docs/shortlists-and-collaboration",{"_34":72},{"_17":78,"_25":26,"_19":79,"_28":80,"_30":-7,"_7":81,"_32":82},"campaigns-and-export.mdx","Campaigns and Export","Generate personalized outreach sequences and export to your tool.","/docs/campaigns-and-export",{"_34":78},{"_17":84,"_25":26,"_19":85,"_28":86,"_30":-7,"_7":87,"_32":88},"byok-and-ai-cost-controls.mdx","BYOK and AI Cost Controls","Configure BYOK and control AI-related credit usage.","/docs/byok-and-ai-cost-controls",{"_34":84},{"_17":90,"_25":26,"_19":91,"_28":92,"_30":-7,"_7":93,"_32":94},"api-endpoints.mdx","Candidate Check API","Public API for creating and fetching candidate checks.","/docs/api-endpoints",{"_34":90},{"_17":6,"_25":26,"_19":96,"_28":97,"_30":-7,"_7":8,"_32":98},"FAQ","Common questions from users.",{"_34":6},{"_17":100,"_25":26,"_19":101,"_28":102,"_30":-7,"_7":103,"_32":104},"changelog.mdx","Changelog","Product and documentation updates that affect day-to-day workflows.","/docs/changelog",{"_34":100},"actionData","errors"]
