It never moves or rejects anyone. Ranking assists. Your team decides. ## Steps 1. **Fibisoft reads each application.** When a candidate applies, Fibisoft reads the text of their CV and their answers to your application form. 2. **Each rule is checked.** For every rule you set, the result is met, partly met, not met or unknown. Skills are searched for in the CV, the location is compared with the places you accept, and answers are compared with the values you expect. 3. **The score is calculated.** Each rule counts according to its weight, and required rules count double. The result is a score from 0 to 100. 4. **A fit label is added.** The score becomes Strong fit, Good fit, Partial fit or Low fit. A candidate who fails a required rule gets Low fit. When Fibisoft can’t check enough of your rules, or can’t check a required one, the label is Unclear. 5. **Review the evidence.** Open an application to see each rule’s outcome with its evidence: the quoted passage from the CV, with its page, or the candidate’s answer. 6. **Sort and decide.** On the job’s **Candidates** tab, sort by **Best fit** to review the strongest matches first. Then a person on your team decides what happens next. ![Match Score result with a score, a fit label and quoted CV evidence](https://fibisoft.com/images/placeholders/help-match-score-evidence-01.svg) {width="960" height="640" loading="lazy"} ## Tips - **Match Score never moves or rejects a candidate.** It only sorts and explains. Ranking assists. Your team decides. - **Experience and education are not scored automatically.** Fibisoft shows the relevant passages of the CV so a reviewer can judge them. - **It matches words, not meaning.** A CV that describes a skill in other words may not match. Read the CV before you set a candidate aside. - **Unclear is not a bad result.** It means there wasn’t enough information to rank the candidate, often because a CV couldn’t be read. Review those candidates yourself. - If you change your rules, select **Reassess** to rank existing applications again. ## **Related articles** - ### [Setting Match Score criteria](https://fibisoft.com/help/setting-match-score-criteria) Tell Match Score what to look for in each application, how much each rule counts and which rules are required.**Learn more ** - ### [Scorecards](https://fibisoft.com/help/scorecards) Attach scorecards to a stage so every reviewer rates candidates on the same criteria, with one score and a comment each.**Learn more ** - ### [Custom pipeline stages and moving candidates](https://fibisoft.com/help/custom-pipeline-stages-and-moving-candidates) Build the stages of your hiring process for each job, then move candidates through them.
