Targets is the dashboard page (/dash/targets). A one-off Search goes stale. A Target keeps finding people. Three kinds, matching the toggles in the app:

​
Confirm who to keep

Nothing is monitored until you confirm. The review screen is Not live yet. Buttons in the app: Accept / Decline, or Add them / Leave out. Then Start monitoring this search (or company), or Keep all N and start monitoring. Live filters on a Target: Counts read N monitored · M waiting. If find-people fails, Retry re-queues the job (POST /targets/:id/retry). Delete this target removes people who are only on that Target; people also on another Target or List stay. Toggles that skip the queue:
  • People search: Add new matches automatically
  • Company: Add new hires and alumni automatically
API name: auto_admit. Use it when the query is tight. Do not turn it on for a broad company network.
A Target that is still Needs attention will not ping Monitoring. Open it, Accept who you would actually contact, then start monitoring.
Empty Targets: No targets yet. New people search / New company start a Target. Start people search / Start company search opens a confirm dialog: This may take up to 24h, plus how many people to find (capped at remaining monitoring capacity). The Target then shows Loading, a countdown, and a note that you can close the page. Status badges: Live, Needs attention, Loading, Couldn’t finish.

​
Specific people

Use Specific people when you already know who to track: a pipeline, a shortlist, or an ATS export.
  1. Paste LinkedIn profile URLs (one per line, a spreadsheet column, or whole CSV rows), or drop a CSV. FreshTalent pulls out every linkedin.com/in/ link and removes duplicates. Sales Navigator links are flagged; use the public profile URL instead.
  2. The box checks your slots as you paste: people already in FreshTalent are free, everyone else uses one monitoring slot. If the list doesn’t fit, it says how many to remove.
  3. Start monitoring N people. Everyone starts as Monitored; there is nothing to approve.
People already in FreshTalent show up right away. The rest load in the background, which can take a few hours when it’s busy. A profile that can’t be loaded (private, or a wrong URL) shows under Couldn’t load. Add people on the Target adds more the same way; Remove and Add back work per person. API: create with kind: "manual" and urls (Create target), add with Add target people, and check slots first with Preview target people.

Recruiter flow

  1. Search (or Companies → open a company).
  2. Targets → People search → Start people search, or Company → Start company search.
  3. Confirm the search. This may take up to 24h. Set how many people to find (at most your remaining capacity), then start it.
  4. The Target shows Loading and a countdown. Grab a coffee — email and Slack notify you when it’s ready.
  5. Review Pending Approval → Accept.
  6. Start monitoring. Badge goes Live. Counts read N monitored · M waiting.

Integrator names

Same object. Different words:
app_query is the Target mapper’s camelCase object, not the echoed snake_case graph-search object. Target discovery uses a different schema and is not an exact replay of the graph search. See Search query compatibility. Create returns 202 if a find-people job was queued. Accept everyone currently pending:
Playground: Create a target, Accept members, Add people, Update, Delete, Retry.
