Project creation options
Section titled “Project creation options”Two toggles appear when creating a project. They control how Wiggli treats profile data inside the project, and they affect credits.
- Real-time candidate data. On by default. When enabled, Wiggli pulls the most up-to-date version of each profile as it’s added to the project, refreshed from the live data sources rather than the indexed search result. Search results can be a few weeks old; this toggle ensures you’re working with current data. It does not cost credits. Keep it on unless you have a specific reason not to.
- Auto-enrich contacts. Off by default. When enabled, every profile added to the project automatically triggers a contact reveal (email + phone waterfall) without you clicking anything. This does cost credits, and at bulk-add scale it adds up fast: adding 200 profiles with auto-enrich on can burn through hundreds of credits in seconds. Leave it off unless you specifically want every profile enriched and you’ve planned the credit spend.
The safe default is real-time data ON, auto-enrich OFF.

- Looking for a search bar inside the project? Searches always launch from the search dashboard; the project is where results land. Run the search there and use
Add to project. - New candidates not visible. Refresh the project view.
Best practices
Section titled “Best practices”- One project per vacancy or campaign. Mixing roles makes Intelligence Columns (the yes/no/unclear columns the Co-pilot adds) less reliable, because the same question rarely applies cleanly to two different roles.
- Name projects so the goal is obvious later (e.g. “Senior FE Dev, ACME, Nov”).
