Candidate Matches

Introduction

Finding the perfect candidates for a job opening is now more straightforward than ever with Zia’s Candidate Matching.

This enables her to find “the perfect match” for your job openings as she can match their experiences, skills and proficiencies with your requirements and grade them accordingly. 

With Zia’s help, you’ll be able to match and associate the right candidates exponentially quicker as you’re presented with a list of candidates that are graded and ranked based on how much they match with the job requirements.

Matching Candidates

  3. Click on the  button.
  4. A list of candidates that match with the job opening (if any) will be displayed.
    Note: Only a maximum of 20 matching candidates will be displayed.

    Candidates are displayed by the descending order of their     Match Score.
    A candidate’s match score is calculated using their     Skills and Qualifications.

Prerequisites

Before you start matching candidates with your Job Openings, make sure that;
  1. You have candidate records present in your Zoho Recruit database.
  2. Your candidate records match with the job opening’s domain and industry. 
    For example, if your job opening is for a     Software Developer and all your candidates have skills related to Sales & Marketing, Zia would be unable to find any matches. 
  3. The Skill Set you’ve associated with the Job Opening has skills defined as “Nice To Have” rather than “Must Have” in order to get candidate suggestions from Zia.
