Why one explainable score
Keyword search rewards whoever repeats the right words. Hiralent compares structured parts of your profile with structured parts of the job, so every part of the score is something we can show you: the skills you have, the skills you are missing, whether the level fits and whether the location works.
The four parts
- Skills (half of the score): the share of the job's required skills that are on your profile. Spelling variants count as the same skill, so React, ReactJS and React.js match.
- Profile and job text (30%): how closely your profile reads to the job description, measured with a language model that compares meaning rather than exact words.
- Experience level (10%): your years of experience compared with the level the job asks for. One level above is usually fine; one below is a stretch.
- Location (10%): remote jobs always fit; otherwise the same city fits best, then the same country.
What you can do with it
Candidates see which required skills they already have and which are missing. Adding a skill you really have to your profile updates the score. Employers see the same breakdown on every application, next to assessment and interview results.
