Each candidate profile contains a score section that shows how the candidate’s total score was calculated. Scores are broken down by individual criteria, with their scores and weights.

Key information

1. Every candidate resume is parsed and enriched with company data.
2. A candidate’s total score is a weighted-average of individual criteria scores.
3. Criteria scores are based on resume data, company data, and screening questions.

How candidate scores are calculated

To view how a candidate’s score was calculated:

1. Open a candidate profile.
2. Scroll to the Score section.

Each criteria contains:

1. Score
   1. A score between 0 and 100 is generated by comparing your criteria to the candidate’s resume, enriched company information, and screening question answers.
   2. A screening question answer is used to determine the criteria’s score if a specific screening question is mentioned along with an example of your desired answer.
   3. Enriched company data is used to determine the criteria’s score if a specific company attribute (employees, industries, etc.) is mentioned in the criteria.
2. Explanation
   1. A short explanation for how the score was determined, including evidence from the candidate’s resume, enriched company data, or screening question answer.
3. Weight
   1. The weight selected when the criteria was entered. This determined the impact the criteria’s score has on the candidate’s total score.
   2. Three Lines = Required criteria with the strongest impact (3x).
   3. Two Lines = Preferred criteria with moderate impact (2x).
   4. One Line = Bonus criteria with lighter impact (1x).
