ScalarTalent’s Candidate Match Score helps recruiters quickly identify the best-fit candidates for a job by analyzing how well an applicant’s resume, experience, and qualifications align with the job posting.
🔹 How Is the Candidate Match Score Calculated? #
ScalarTalent’s AI compares the applicant’s resume directly to the job post and assigns a score from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best possible match. The score is based on:
✅ Skills & Experience – Do they have the required technical and soft skills?
✅ Job-Specific Keywords – Does their resume include relevant industry terms?
✅ Certifications & Education – Do they meet or exceed educational qualifications?
✅ Work History & Relevance – Have they worked in similar roles before?
✅ Predictive Performance – AI analyzes if the candidate is likely to succeed in the role.
🔹 What Do the Scores Mean? #
🔵 8 – 10 (Strong Match) – Highly qualified candidate; meets or exceeds job requirements.
🟠 5 – 7 (Moderate Match) – Some qualifications align; may require further screening.
🔴 1 – 4 (Low Match) – Candidate lacks key requirements; may not be the right fit.
🔹 How Can Recruiters Improve Matching Accuracy? #
📌 Ensure the Job Post is Detailed – The more specific the job description, the more accurate the match.
📌 Refine AI Filters – Adjust required skills, experience levels, or must-have qualifications.
📌 Review Candidate Profiles – A lower match score doesn’t always mean a bad candidate; check for transferable skills.
🔹 Final Thoughts #
The Candidate Match Score is a powerful tool to help recruiters prioritize the best applicants quickly. However, it’s always good to review candidate profiles manually when needed.
