What is a candidate score (and why it saves time)
A candidate score ranks people by fit for one role, so you read the promising profiles first. Here's what it does and doesn't do.
A score is a reading order, not a verdict
When you find thirty profiles for one role, the hard part is not finding them — it is knowing which five to read first. A candidate score answers that question: given the role and the profile, how close is the match?
What the score is built from
Most fit scores weigh the same things a careful recruiter checks by eye:
- How well the person's experience matches the role's skills and seniority.
- Whether the location and work setup fit what you can offer.
- Signals of relevance, like the domain they worked in.
The score compresses that into one number, so a long list gets a sensible order without you opening every profile.
What it does not do
It does not decide for you. A score can miss a non-obvious strong candidate, and it can rank someone high who is not actually interested. Treat it as a first pass, not a filter you hide behind.
How it fits your day
Run sourcing for a role, and the features page shows the shortlist already scored. You start at the top, skim, and move the ones worth pursuing into your pipeline. Every profile you keep is one credit — so you pay for the candidates you actually look at.
