Courted Candidates is a powerful, easy-to-use tool designed to help you identify high-potential agents and streamline your recruiting outreach—especially if you're short on time. Whether you're a power user or just getting started, this guide walks through how to make the most of it.
What Is Courted Candidates?
Courted Candidates provides you with daily, high-quality agent recommendations tailored to your preferences. Unlike traditional search filters and tables, Candidates is designed for users who want to move quickly—spending 15 to 20 minutes a day identifying and reaching out to top prospects.
Step 1: Set Your Preferences
Before diving in, take a minute to customize your preferences. You’ll only need to do this once (unless you want to update them later).
Click the "Set Preferences" button in the top-right corner of the Courted Candidates page. Here’s what you can configure:
Location Preferences
Default: Your office locations (as set in your account settings).
Customize: Add or remove cities or ZIP codes relevant to your recruiting territory.
Location Type: Choose how location is defined—agent’s office location, transaction location, or home address (note: home address data varies by MLS).
Ideal Agent Profile
Specify what makes an agent a good candidate for you:
Production volume
Closed transactions
Average sale price
Time in industry
Use the "Must Have" toggle to indicate strict requirements. If turned on, only agents who exactly match those filters will be shown. If turned off, you'll still see prioritized candidates who come close to your criteria.
Tip: Updating your preferences and hitting save will refresh your recommendations.
Step 2: Review Your Recommendations
Courted Candidates shows up to 30 new, relevant agents per day—all unique to you. We won’t show:
Agents you’ve recently viewed
Agents assigned to other team members
