Reading a match score
Last updated 6 August 2026
The score combines what the advert requires with what your profile evidences, then subtracts anything the employer states as a hard filter.
Hard filters
Right to work, clearance, a stated minimum number of years, a location that is not negotiable. These cap the score regardless of everything else, and the reason is shown beside it.
Soft gaps
A missing skill you could evidence lowers the score without capping it. Those are the ones worth answering with a claim.
