### Where do I search for candidates?

In the `Sourcing` tab of a live role. Type a search in `Search the open market` and click `Search`.

### Can I search before my role is live?

The `Sourcing` tab is for live roles. When a role goes live, Tandem runs a first search and reports the results in the chat.

### Do I pay again for people I've already seen?

No. A search uses 3 credits per candidate, and only for new people. People you've already seen are free.

### Does a search contact anyone?

No. Nobody is emailed until you add them to outreach, or until Tandem's outreach, which you set up, picks them.

### What does the match score mean?

It's a score out of 100 for how well a person fits the role's criteria. Open the profile to see the evidence for each criterion.

### Do I pay twice to see the same contact details?

No. Once you reveal a person's details, they stay on the profile. An email reveal uses 5 credits per candidate and a phone reveal 5 credits per candidate.

### How many people can I import at once?

Up to 500 rows in one CSV file, and 2 MB at most.

### Why can't I add someone to outreach?

Outreach is sent by email, so a person without an email can't be added.

### Can Tandem search for me on a schedule?

Yes. Set up Tandem's outreach in `Outreach flow`. It searches and emails new matches on the schedule you choose.
