Search candidates by name, tag, source or job, with title, company and tags.

Recruiterflow API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/recruiterflow.md

`GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/recruiterflow/candidates`

Access: read.

Searches the candidates your user can see, one page at a time. query matches part of a name, so a short term finds more. location matches the text literally, so New York and NY are different values. job_id limits the result to one job. Each candidate shows the jobs they are on, with the current stage in each.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `query` | string | no | Part of the candidate name. |
| `tag` | string | no | Exact tag name, e.g. backend-berlin-sourcing. |
| `source` | string | no | Source of the candidate as Recruiterflow shows it. |
| `location` | string | no | Location text, matched literally. |
| `job_id` | string | no | Only candidates on this job. |
| `limit` | integer | no | 1 to 50. Default: 25. |
| `cursor` | string | no | Next page cursor from the previous call. |
