What’s Changed and Why It Matters

We get it — keeping up with new features can feel overwhelming, but here’s the thing: our goal is to make your experience easier and more effective, whether you’re searching for a job or hiring someone. Recently, we rolled out a revamped AI matching algorithm that’s smarter and more precise. It looks at over 200 data points now, so the matches you get are not just based on keywords but real relevance. From our experience, this cuts down the time spent sifting through unsuitable options.

How Our AI Matching Algorithm Works for You

If you’re a candidate, here’s what you’ll notice: job recommendations that actually fit your skills, experience, and preferences. For recruiters, the candidates you see are more aligned with the role, saving you countless hours. Our platform analyzes resumes with deep CV parsing, scoring relevance with a confidence percentage so you can prioritize applications easily.

Step-by-Step: Using AI Matching as a Candidate

  1. Create or update your profile with detailed skills and experience.
  2. Upload your latest CV — our parser will extract key info automatically.
  3. Set your job preferences like location, salary, and role type.
  4. Browse your personalized job feed based on AI relevance scores.
  5. Apply with one click or save jobs to review later.

Step-by-Step: Using AI Matching as a Recruiter

  1. Post your vacancy with clear requirements and priorities.
  2. Review candidate matches sorted by relevance score.
  3. Use filters to narrow down based on experience, skills, or availability.
  4. Shortlist candidates and send interview invites directly.
  5. Track candidate progress through your dashboard.

Customizing Your Dashboard for What You Need

We heard you — dashboards should work for you, not the other way around. So we simplified navigation and introduced customizable widgets. Want your interview schedule front and center?
