When AI scoring is turned on, a submitted resume is read and compared against the job posting's description and qualifications. It comes back with a score, a short fit summary, and a rationale explaining the score - all shown on the application's page.
Every scored application also gets a fit label - weak, fair, good, strong, or excellent - so you can scan a list of applicants at a glance instead of comparing raw numbers. Sort the applications list by score to bring your best-scoring candidates to the top.
Scoring reads text out of PDF and Word (.docx) resumes. A resume that's a scanned image with no selectable text, saved in an older .doc format, or password-protected won't produce a score - the application still comes through, just without AI scoring.
Turn on Automatically score resumes on submission under Jobs > Settings to score every new application as it arrives. From any scored application, click Re-score Resume to queue a fresh scoring run - useful after you've updated a posting's qualifications.
