# Create a source

> Run a discovery job to surface candidate companies.

A **source** (discovery job) finds candidate companies that match your ICP. Candidates are
suggestions — you review them before anything becomes a real company record.

## Start a discovery job

1. Go to **Prospecting** and choose **Find prospects**.
2. Choose where to find companies, such as a pasted list, a website page, or an event or directory,
   and configure it. Optionally link an ICP profile and discovery brief.
3. Review the search and choose **Create & start**. It runs in the background and adds candidates as
   it goes.

## Track progress

Open the job from **Prospecting → Search history** to watch its status. Jobs run asynchronously, so
you can leave the page and come back — the status updates when work completes.

When the job finishes, its candidate companies are ready to [review](https://docs.enrik.ai/review-candidates.md) in
**Prospecting → Candidates**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Beta limitations.** Discovery volume per job and per workspace is capped during the private beta
> to keep things fair and reliable. A job that hits a limit stops cleanly and tells you why; the
> candidates it already produced are still available to review.
