How Beesla Prevents Duplicate Candidates and Tracks History
Dedupe and History ensure that your team does not repeatedly review the same candidates or companies without context. Beesla automatically recognizes duplicates and preserves historical information so sourcing stays efficient and predictable.
This page explains how deduplication works and how historical context is maintained.
Why Deduplication Matters
Without deduplication, recruiting tools tend to:
- Show the same candidate multiple times
- Lose context across searches
- Waste reviewer time
- Create confusion during collaboration
Beesla is designed to avoid this by default.
How Deduplication Works
When Beesla retrieves candidate data:
- It checks whether the candidate already exists in your CRM
- If the candidate is already present, Beesla updates the existing record
- A new duplicate record is not created
This ensures there is one canonical profile per candidate.
The same approach applies to company records.
Preserving Search History
Rather than overwriting information, Beesla preserves history.
For each profile, Beesla tracks:
- Which searches the candidate appeared in
- How the candidate ranked in each search
- When the searches were run
This allows you to see how relevance changes over time and across roles.
Viewing History in the CRM
From a candidate or company profile, you can:
- See past searches they appeared in
- Review previous evaluations
- Understand why the candidate was surfaced
This context helps with decision-making and internal alignment.
How Deduplication Affects Cost
Deduplication affects data storage, not token usage.
- Profiles are stored once
- History is preserved
- Reviewing duplicates does not consume tokens
Tokens are applied only when new results are retrieved during a search.
Common Misunderstandings
“If a candidate appears again, I’m charged again.”
You are charged only for the search results returned, not for CRM storage.
“History overwrites old data.”
It does not. Beesla preserves historical context.
“Duplicates mean the system is broken.”
Duplicates are avoided by design.

Use history to understand which prompts worked best
