# AI Smart Search & Smart Filters
Senseloaf gives you two powerful ways to cut through your candidate list-\
1\. **AI Smart Search** for natural language queries, and \
2\. **Smart Filters** for precise, criteria-based filtering.
Use them independently or together depending on how specific your needs are.
### 1. AI Smart Search
The search bar sits at the top of the Candidate Listing page. Type what you're looking for in plain, everyday language and Senseloaf interprets it automatically — no rigid syntax, no dropdowns, no guesswork.
AI Smart Search
Results are ranked and relevant, and the search auto-corrects typos so you don't have to worry about exact spelling.
**What you can search for**
AI Smart Search understands a wide range of signals including skills, location, job roles, companies, industries, experience level, education, candidate grade and quality, interview and prescreening performance, and application dates.
**Example queries**
*"Show me the top candidates with expired interviews in last 10 days"*
*"React developers in Bangalore with grade A"*
*"Top interview candidates"*
You can mix and match criteria in a single query, role, location, grade, status, and more, and Senseloaf interprets the full intent and returns matching results.
### 2. Smart Filters
Smart Filters give you precise, criteria-based control over your candidate list. The filter panel sits on the left side of the Candidate Listing page — each section is collapsible so you expand only what you need.
Smart Filters
The candidate count updates live as you make selections, so you always know how many candidates match before applying.
**Selecting, applying, and clearing**
Click any filter category to expand it and choose your criteria. Filters work together — the more you select, the more refined the list. Click **Apply** to update the candidate list, or **Clear** to remove all active filters at once.
Active filters appear as tags at the top of the listing so you can always see what's currently applied at a glance.
Active Filter Tags
**Filter categories**
* **Overall Grade** — filter by the candidate's combined evaluation grade across all stages
* **AI Matching** — filter by resume matching grade (E through A) and score range using the percentage slider
* **AI Prescreening** — filter by prescreening grade and completion status (Invited, In Progress, Completed, Partially Completed, Expired), with live counts next to each option. Filter by invite date range (7d, 14d, 30d, or custom)
* **AI Interview** — filter by interview grade and score range, with the same status options as prescreening
* **Industry Snapshot** — filter by business type (B2B, B2C), industry (SaaS, Fintech, Healthtech, Consulting, and more), and operating model (Product-led, Service-led)
* **Work History** — filter by past roles and experience
* **Education** — filter by educational background
* **Contact Info** — filter by location and other contact details

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.senseloaf.ai/candidate-listing/ai-smart-search-and-smart-filters.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
