Starting a run

Every field on the Start a run panel, what it does, and what happens the moment you click Start sourcing.

A run is one ask sourced on every channel at once. Start one from the AI sourcing page; the panel there has three parts, and Runs beside it lists every run on the account.

The role

  • Role title (required). What a candidate would search for. Keep the company name out of it.
  • Profession and specialty. Pick from the list or type your own. These decide who Tenure looks for and how the message greets them: physicians are addressed as "Dr. {LASTNAME}", everyone else by first name.
  • Locations. City and state, one per line. Leave empty for anywhere.
  • Details about the role and ideal candidate. Pay, schedule, call, setting, requirements. The message draft and the database search both draw on this, so specific beats long.
  • Job description. Paste or upload one and Tenure fills the fields above from it. See Using a job description.

Where

Tenure's database is always on. Each connected job board is on by default, with a field for the most people to contact on that board this run. See Channels and limits.

The message

The subject line and message each person receives, with a draft from Tenure if you want one, and a preview per channel. See Writing the message.

What happens when you start

  1. Tenure's database is searched for people who fit, excluding anyone on your do-not-contact list, anyone already in your contact pool, and anyone messaged in the last 7 days.
  2. Messages begin going out from the database at Tenure's daily pace.
  3. Each job board pass is requested. Tenure's AI-powered sourcing technology starts it and works it at the pace that board allows.
  4. The run page opens, with a card per channel. Every reply lands there and in your contacts.

If something is missing when you click Start, a message tells you what and moves you to that field.
