- Match
- A scored pairing between one job and one candidate, with a full breakdown stored alongside it.
- Score
- A deterministic 0–100 number derived from the signal weights. Same inputs always produce the same score.
- Breakdown
- The per-signal sub-scores and lists (matched skills, missing skills, experience delta) that justify the score.
- Weights
- The relative importance of each signal. Defaults: skills 50, experience 30, location 15, education 5. Overridable per role.
- Required skill
- A skill the job cannot do without. Missing one is penalised heavily.
- Preferred skill
- A skill that adds bonus points but is not blocking.
- Inbox
- The grouped match view. Candidates are ranked per job; jobs can be ranked per candidate.
- Recalculate
- Re-runs scoring across affected matches after weights, skills, or job details change.
