# Search, lists, targets, monitoring

> Search elite engineers, keep a pipeline, and get pinged when someone actually moves — in the dashboard, Claude, or your ATS.

FreshTalent is a talent graph for teams who hire specialized engineers. You search the way a recruiter talks, keep people on a list, pin the search as a Target so it stays fresh, and read Monitoring when a profile actually changes.

The same loop runs in the [dashboard](https://freshtalent.ai), in [Claude / Cursor](/mcp-setup), or over [REST](/api-reference/overview).
