Use filters to narrow your search results by matching all hard requirements that are more traditional or keyword based.
Use Juicebox’s filters to effectively narrow down your search based on your must-have criteria. To get started with filters, you can begin a search in one of five ways:
The below section briefly covers each of the five methods, before diving deeper into the edit filters menu.
80%+ of searches on Juicebox use our AI prompting to get started. A prompt is a description of the type of candidate you’re looking for, written out in a short paragraph or sentence.
For example, here are some well-written initial prompts:
What makes a prompt well-written? A good prompt will explicitly describe what you’re searching for, mentioning specific requirements.
That can include fields like: location, job title, company experience, industry experience, skills, years of experience, university attended, degree held, and more.
The Find Similar feature helps you quickly discover profiles with similar backgrounds, skills, and attributes. From the search bar, type in a candidate name or LinkedIn URL to pull up their Juicebox profile, and replicate the criteria you like.
Please note, you can select up to 5 profiles and 8 traits at once.
If you prefer to search by job description, you can do so by selecting the “Job Description” button. To enter your job description, you can choose from three methods:
Juicebox will then configure a search query for you using your job description. It will analyze suggested filters to match by, which can still be adjusted at any time.
Use the boolean expression for any pre-configured search strings.
Selecting filters manually advances you to the Edit Your Search Filters page directly, allowing you to configure your search from scratch. In most cases, utilizing the prompting method will help you set up your filters faster.
No matter how you get started, you can use the Edit Your Search Filters page to review your initial search setup or make refinements.
Juicebox business plan users can search against the candidates who are already in their ATS. For more information on Talent Rediscovery, please visit our Talent Rediscovery article here.
Many of the edit query search bars are smart AI search fields. That means you can enter a specific entity, or describe what you are trying to search for. For example, in the companies search bar, you can enter:
Looking for a specific company, but it isn’t appearing in the drop-down? You can also paste in the company LinkedIn URL into the search bar. Then, select the “Search for <URL>” option.
<aside> 💡 Smart search fields aren’t just limited to companies! Try them in other fields, too, like Company Industries, Investors or Universities.

By default, Juicebox treats skill requirements differently depending on the number of skills entered:
In the example below, the search will run as follows: show candidates that are skilled in JavaScript, React.js, or Agile Methodologies (one or more) and Node.js (mandatory).
Juicebox has a multitude of smart search fields — including expanding job titles to help find best fit candidates. For example, entering “Software Engineer” will also help you find Principal Software Engineers. However, in some cases, you may want to restrict how broad the search is.
You can solve for this by using our “Exclude” field, which is a stop-sign icon that appears when hovering over a job title, skill, industry, or location. In the search below, we are searching for:
Location: Someone in California, who is not in Los Angeles
Job Title: Software Engineer, who is not a Software Engineering Manager
Advanced company filters allow you to construct complex searches based on data such as company funding stage, funding amount raised, investors, and revenue. They work the same as other filters, but contain some additional configuration options.
You can combine a variety of advanced fields to power even more complex searches, such as profiles at a company with $50-$100m in revenue, that has raised $10-$50m in funding, and has worked at a company backed by Sequoia Capital.
If you included a Funding & Revenue field in your search’s prompt — like 'Software Engineers at Series B startups' — those filters will already be applied.
<aside> 💡 Remember that “Current” versus “Current + Past” configurations can have major impacts on your search results.

Want to find profiles who were early at certain companies? Enter your preferred companies, select the “Funding Stage” drop-down, and configure your desired funding stage. This will show you profiles that were at your selected companies during that specific stage or year.
Want to source technical talent using real-world engineering signals like programming languages, frameworks, repositories, open-source activity, and technical experience? Use our Developer Data filter to surface developers based on what they’ve actually built, their tech stack expertise, and the environments they’ve worked in.
