Modes at a glance
1) Lite
Description: No communication data, small AI model
What it uses: Profiles, resumes/CVs, structured fields.
Best for:
Quick, lightweight searches
Early discovery/shortlisting
Pros: Fast, predictable, low compute.
Trade-offs: Less context → may miss signal that only exists in emails/notes.
2) Core
Description: All data, small AI model
What it uses: Everything Core uses plus communications (calls and meetings transcripts, WhatsApp messages ).
Best for:
Day-to-day searches where context matters
Matching that depends on interview notes, call summaries, or email content
Pros: Richer context with good speed.
Trade-offs: Small model may be less nuanced than Executive on complex queries.
3) Executive
Description: All data, leading AI model
What it uses: Full data scope (profiles + communications) with our most capable model.
Best for:
High-stakes searches (exec roles, niche skill mixes)
Ambiguous or multi-constraint prompts that need stronger reasoning
Pros: Highest quality matching and explanations.
Trade-offs: Heavier compute; may take slightly longer.
How to choose (quick rules)
Need speed and a clean baseline → Lite
Need context from emails/notes but want it snappy → Core
Need the best possible match quality and justification → Executive
Heads up: Magic Search is currently in Alpha with a limited testing group. If you’re in the Alpha and don’t see it yet, we’re rolling access out in batches-you’ll be added soon.
