A match score is a structured snapshot of how closely your profile mirrors a role’s stated requirements. It combines keyword similarity, must-have coverage, and alignment factors such as experience and education. Recruiters often screen quickly, so a consistent scoring method helps you identify gaps before you apply. In practice, scores above 75% usually indicate strong fit, while 60–74% suggests targeted edits can improve competitiveness. Track the score alongside interview outcomes to calibrate what “good” means in your market.
Well-written postings include responsibility verbs, tools, and domain outcomes. Extract 5–12 must-have items that appear repeatedly or are explicitly required, then list nice-to-haves that differentiate candidates. Use the weight controls to mirror the role: for example, increase skills weight for hands-on technical roles, or increase alignment weight for regulated or credentialed positions. Save your final lists so you can reuse them for similar openings and compare trends across employers.
If must-have coverage is low, prioritize the missing items with the highest impact. Add proof in your resume bullets: metrics, scope, and tools used. A single quantified achievement can reinforce multiple skills (for example, “reduced cycle time by 18% using automation” supports process improvement, scripting, and operational excellence). Re-run the calculator after edits and track changes; a 10–15 point lift is common with focused rewrites.
Experience alignment is strongest when your relevant years meet the target range and you show progression. If you are below the target, you can offset it by emphasizing comparable responsibilities, adjacent industries, or projects with similar scale. Avoid inflating dates; instead, narrow your profile text to the most relevant work. For senior roles, highlight leadership scope, budgets, and stakeholder management to strengthen alignment signals.
The CSV and PDF downloads let you record scores per role and compare outcomes over time. Store the job title, date, score, and your revision notes. Over a month of applications, patterns emerge: recurring missing skills can guide a learning plan, and high-scoring roles can be prioritized for faster outreach. Treat the score as decision support, not a verdict; human review and networking still matter. A simple weekly review keeps your pipeline organized and supports steady, measurable improvement for each role.
A higher score signals closer alignment with the posting, but it cannot measure culture fit, portfolio quality, or referrals. Use it to prioritize roles and to guide resume edits.
Use 5–12 must-haves and up to 15 nice-to-haves. Too many items dilute focus and can understate your strongest strengths.
Required items are often non-negotiable. The calculator applies a penalty when must-haves are missing to reflect typical screening behavior.
Yes. Update the skills lists and weights to match the role’s evaluation style. Domain-specific terms improve the relevance of keyword similarity.
Focus on repeated terms, tools, and outcomes. Add a short “target role” summary in your profile text to clarify intent and increase alignment.
It usually indicates major requirement gaps or a misaligned role level. Consider other openings, or build a plan to close the top missing must-haves.
