Match Score

Once your resume is uploaded, every job in Find jobs and the Tracker shows a Match Score, a percentage indicating how closely the role lines up with your resume. Treat it as a triage tool, not a hire-probability prediction: it tells you which 5 of 50 listings deserve a careful read.

What the score is built from

Match Score compares two things:

1. A compact representation of your saved resume (skills, roles, experience, education)
2. The structured fields of the job (title, required and preferred skills, experience and education requirements)

When you change your resume, scores update to match it: there's nothing to re-run. The score is worked out on the spot, on every plan, and never counts against your plan.

The breakdown

Open a job and switch to the Match tab in the job detail panel to see why a job scored the way it did:

• A one-line verdict (e.g. Strong match, Good fit, Partial fit, Weak fit) and whether the role is in the same, an adjacent, or a different field from yours
• The job's skills grouped by importance (Critical, Required, Preferred, Nice to have), with the ones you have highlighted and the ones you lack outlined
• Checks on the other requirements, such as years of experience, education, and languages
