Search at companies

How titles work
Canvas translates your intent into specific LinkedIn-style job titles:
| You say | Canvas searches for |
|---|
| ”founders” | CEO, Founder, Co-Founder |
| ”sales leaders” | CRO, VP of Sales, Head of Sales, Sales Director |
| ”engineering leaders” | CTO, VP of Engineering, Director of Engineering |
| ”product leaders” | CPO, VP of Product, Head of Product |
| ”ML engineers” | ML Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, Senior ML Engineer |
Seniority levels
Every people search requires a seniority level to avoid overly broad queries:
| Level | Matches titles like |
|---|
| c-suite | CEO, CTO, CFO, COO, CMO |
| vp / svp | VP of X, SVP of X |
| director / head | Director of X, Head of X |
| manager | Engineering Manager, Sales Manager |
| lead | Tech Lead, Team Lead |
| senior / staff / principal | Senior Engineer, Staff Engineer |
Natural language search
Best when you want to describe who you’re looking for without having specific companies.
Example prompts
- “Find senior ML engineers at Series B fintech companies in SF”
- “Find product managers who previously worked at Google”
- “Find CTOs at healthcare startups with 50+ employees”
List all people
Returns everyone at a company without role filters. Use when you want a full org chart.
Example prompts
