Job matching has evolved far beyond keyword matching. Modern AI systems analyze multiple dimensions of compatibility between candidates and positions to produce accurate, actionable match scores.

How Multi-Factor Scoring Works

Our algorithm evaluates candidates across five key dimensions: role fit (30%), skills match (40%), industry alignment (15%), location compatibility (10%), and employment type preference (5%). Each dimension is scored independently and weighted to produce an overall match percentage.

Skills Intelligence

The system doesn't just look for exact keyword matches. It understands skill relationships — knowing that "React" is related to "JavaScript" and "Frontend Development," and that "Python" experience is relevant to "Machine Learning" roles even if ML isn't explicitly listed.

Continuous Learning

As you use the platform and provide feedback on match quality, the algorithm refines its scoring to better align with your specific needs and preferences.
