Match candidates and jobs
Search saved evidence in either direction and review source-backed matches before starting a full analysis.
The Matches workspace searches saved candidate evidence and active job requirements in both directions. Matching helps recruiters find plausible relationships to review; it does not make a hiring decision.
Before matching
Use a Member or Admin account to start searches or save decisions. Viewers can review existing results. Jobs must be active and candidate resumes must have processed evidence. A candidate name alone is not enough for evidence-based matching.
Matching searches use existing evidence. Starting a full analysis from a match is a separate action using the workspace's assigned allowance; review its confirmation before proceeding.
Find candidates for a job
- Open Matches → Candidates for a job.
- Select an active job and review its matching criteria.
- Start matching and follow the background progress.
- Inspect supported, transferable, unclear, and missing evidence for each candidate.
- Shortlist, dismiss, save, or start a full analysis where appropriate.
The matching index covers eligible candidates across the organisation rather than an arbitrary newest-candidate window.
Find jobs for a candidate
- Open Matches → Jobs for a candidate.
- Select a candidate with processed resume evidence.
- Optionally filter active jobs by team, level, or location.
- Review why each opportunity surfaced and what remains unclear.
- Save, associate, share with the job owner, dismiss, or start a full analysis.
Match bands
| Band | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Strong potential | The available evidence supports a substantial share of important requirements. |
| Possible potential | Relevant evidence exists, with meaningful uncertainty or missing coverage. |
| Exploratory match | Transferable evidence makes the pair worth a closer look. |
| Limited evidence | The available resume does not establish enough relevant evidence. |
Missing resume evidence means not found in the available source, not that the candidate lacks the capability. Match bands are review signals and are not hiring recommendations or calibrated probabilities.
Missing or stale results
If the candidate is unavailable, open the profile and check resume extraction. If the job is unavailable, check that it is active and has requirements. After updating evidence or a role, run a new search before relying on prior matches. A missing match means the available evidence did not establish it; it does not prove the candidate lacks the capability.
Saved decisions and full analysis
Human decisions are stored separately from generated matching results, so they remain available when evidence is refreshed. Starting a full analysis uses the normal analysis workflow and organisation quota.
