Match

What it does

Match scores open roles against one of your resumes and presents them one at a time for a keep or bin decision.

It uses the resume you choose, so a resume aimed at a different direction produces a different queue.

When to use it

• You have a resume built and want a shortlist rather than a search results page.
• You are opening the site daily and want to work through what is new without repeating a search.

How to use it

1. 1

   Pick a resume

   Match needs to know what to score against. The button under the deck names the resume in use; pressing it shows your resumes as previews so you can pick by sight, not just by title.

2. 2

   Review the role

   Each card shows the title, company, location, and the score against the resume you picked, along with the description.

3. 3

   Keep or bin

   Keep files the role in Track and keeps it available for tailoring. Bin removes it from your queue permanently.

4. 4

   Tailor the keepers

   From a kept role, send it to Tailor and the description is already loaded.

What it costs

Good to know

• Binning is permanent

  A binned role does not come back into your queue. It is still findable on the board by searching for it.

• A score is a ranking aid, not a verdict

  It tells you where to spend your time first. A lower-scored role you actually want is still worth applying to, and a high score is not a prediction that you will hear back.

• Weak matches are hidden, not padded

  A role that only shares a broad field with your resume is left out rather than shown to fill the deck, so a short deck means the board genuinely has little for you today. Widening the location usually brings back more.

• It needs a resume with substance

  A near-empty resume gives the scorer nothing to reason about, and the ranking will be close to arbitrary until you fill it in.
