Search was "Find companies that are looking for designers with a print background."

Result was: "We have analyzed 1072 candidates and found 0 records matching the search criteria."

Why would you analyze _any_ candidates if the query was to find companies?

We have a database of ~50k companies right now. When you initiate a search, we identify "candidates" out of there to analyze for you. So, "candidate" is more of an internal word - we can update the designs to make that clearer. Then, we go through each candidate one-by-one to find matches.
