Compare candidates for a role
Review completed analyses side by side and generate a role-specific comparison summary.
Use comparison when several candidates have been analysed against the same saved job description. It brings the existing report evidence into one role-level view; it does not replace reading the individual reports.
Before you begin
- Confirm that the reports use the intended saved job description.
- Wait until at least two analyses are complete.
- Correct materially inaccurate role or candidate information before comparing.
- Decide which requirements are genuinely essential before looking at candidate order.
Open a comparison
- Open Job Descriptions.
- Find the role and choose Compare.
- Review the linked completed candidates and their role-fit evidence.
- Select between two and six visible candidates when you want an AI-generated synthesis.
- Choose Generate summary.
Viewer users can inspect an existing comparison but cannot generate a new model-cost summary.
Read the result
The comparison can organise candidate order, ranking rationale, trade-offs, cautions, and interview follow-ups. Treat these as a synthesis of existing reports—not new verified facts.
Open the individual report before advancing or rejecting a candidate. Check requirement-level evidence, important gaps, source quality, interview signal, and any technical or accessibility issues.
When candidates do not appear
A candidate may be unavailable when the report is still processing, the analysis is incomplete, or the report is not linked to this saved job description. Run or complete the analysis from the role page, then return to the comparison.
