How Job Matching Works

The scoring system

Every job gets scored across six dimensions, each weighted by importance:

Dimension	Weight	What it measures
Skills	35%	How well your skills match the job requirements
Experience	25%	Years and type of experience vs. what's asked
Education	15%	Degree level, field of study, institution relevance
Location	10%	Geographic match or remote compatibility
Salary	10%	Whether the posted range meets your expectations
Visa	5%	Sponsorship compatibility (if applicable)

These weights produce a score from 0 to 100, which maps to a letter grade.

Grade scale

Grade	Score	What it means
A+	95-100	Near-perfect fit. Apply immediately.
A	90-94	Strong match across the board.
A-	85-89	Very good fit with minor gaps.
B+	80-84	Good fit. Worth your time.
B	75-79	Solid match with a few gaps to address.
B-	70-74	Decent. Minimum threshold for Assisted Apply.
C+	65-69	Possible fit. Review carefully.
C	55-64	Weak match. Significant gaps.
D	40-54	Poor fit for your profile.
F	0-39	Not a match.

Reading the breakdown

Click any job card to open the detail panel. The score breakdown shows:

• Dimension bars -- Visual breakdown of how you scored on each of the six dimensions.
• Strengths -- What makes you a good fit, with specifics. ("Your 3 years of Python + ML experience maps directly to this role.")
• Gaps -- What's missing and how to address it. ("This role asks for Kubernetes. Consider adding your Docker experience as a related skill.")
• Reasoning -- A plain-English summary of the overall assessment.

When scoring happens

Jobs are batch-scored automatically after each scan. This doesn't use your evaluation credits. Manual scoring (clicking "Score" on a specific job) costs 1 evaluation credit.

Filtering by grade

Use the grade filter at the top of the job list to show only A-B matches, C+ and above, or all grades.
