Profiles
Person profiles
Everything on a person’s profile, and how to read it.
A person’s profile shows their whole career on record, checks them against your search, and lets you shortlist them, find their contact details and email them, all in one place.
Opening a profile#
- Click a name in any results table: People search, a Haley chat or a shortlist.
- Pick a person in Quick search, or paste their LinkedIn link there.
- Click a leader on a company profile.
The profile opens in a window over the page. Use ‹ Previous and › Next at the top to step through everyone in the table, shown as “3 of 50”. When you’re stepping through a list, the title reads Review profiles. Each profile also has its own page you can link to.
The top of the profile#
The left column starts with the person’s photo or initials, name, “title at company” and a LinkedIn icon. Below are their location, current company (click it to open the company) and first school on record. If they have a LinkedIn profile on record, you can ask for an email, a phone, or both: see Finding contact details.
Tabs#
Experience
The heading reads “Experience · 14 yrs on record · 3.5 yrs average”. Tags show their level, their employer’s sector and stage, and Founder or Board where it applies. Three tiles follow:
| Tile | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Avg tenure | How long they usually stay in a job. |
| Current tenure | How long they’ve been in their current job. |
| On record | Years since the earliest job on file. It isn’t total experience: early jobs are often missing. |
Then every job, newest first: title, company (click to open it), dates and duration, city and the company’s stage. After 12 jobs, press Show N earlier roles to see the rest.
Education
Schools and degrees, when on record. Most people don’t have a school stored, so an empty tab is normal: it reads No education on record. Most people in this data set do not have a school stored.
Skills
Skills aren’t in Ladel’s data yet, so this tab always says so.
More
The person’s headline and summary, where they wrote one.
How they match your search#
The right column explains why this person is in your results.
- Haley’s fit: if Haley ranked them against a brief, you’ll see Haley’s fit as a score out of 10, a one-line reason, and each must-have marked Has it or Not shown. See Searching from a job description.
- Search filters: each filter you used, checked against this person and marked Good match or No match. It shows at a glance why someone made the list, or what they’re missing.
- On record: when you used no filters, the heading reads On record and lists plain facts instead.
Decide: shortlist or not a fit#
When you’re working in a project, a bar at the bottom of the profile lets you decide in one key press:
| Button | Key | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Looks good | A | Adds them to the project’s shortlist. |
| Not a fit | R | Marks them not a fit for this project and takes them off its shortlist. |
When you’re reviewing a list, either button moves straight to the next person. Someone marked not a fit shows Marked not a fit for this project; shortlisting them again clears it. See Reviewing candidates.
Reach out from the profile#
Once you’ve found an email, Write email and Schedule a call appear. Haley drafts a short first email built on a true fact from their career, and you send it from your own mailbox. See Emailing one person and Booking calls. After you’ve emailed someone, the profile shows when, from which address and the subject.
Where the data comes from
Profiles are built from public professional information. If a profile is out of date, the person may have changed jobs since it was last updated. Anyone can ask for their profile to be removed: see Privacy and data.
Questions#
Why does someone show 6 years on record when they’ve worked for 15?
Years on record count from the earliest job on file. Early jobs are often missing, so treat it as a minimum.
It says “This person is not in the pilot data.”
The person has left Ladel’s data, usually because their profile was removed. Anyone already on a shortlist stays there, marked as no longer in the data.
Why don’t I see the Looks good and Not a fit buttons?
They appear when a project is set: open the profile from a project, a chat in a project, or pick a project in Shortlist into.
