How hiARed works

Candidate Fitment Report

What the report tells you

The Candidate Fitment Report compares your hiARed profile and resume with one job and gives a match score from 0 to 100, before you apply. It shows which required skills you already prove, which you only list, which are missing, and the few changes most likely to raise your score. It is free for job seekers; sign in to see it on any job.

The six parts of the score

  • Required skills (40%): the job's required skills found in your resume or profile.
  • Experience (20%): your years against the job's range.
  • Resume evidence (15%): concrete actions and measured results in your resume.
  • Work style and location (10%): the job's city and work style against your preferences.
  • Salary and notice (10%): your expected pay and notice period against the job.
  • Education (5%): whether you have listed your education.

What the verdicts mean

80 or more is a strong match, 60 to 79 a good match, 40 to 59 a partial match, and under 40 a low match. A skill shown in your resume counts fully; a skill only listed on your profile counts half until your resume backs it up with a project or result.

How to raise your score

Add the missing skills you really have, back up listed skills with a project or result, and keep your preferred locations, expected pay and notice period up to date. Then compare the jobs again. Browse jobs with salary shown and open any job to see your report.

Questions

How do I know if I am a good fit for a job?

Sign in to hiARed and open the job. The Candidate Fitment Report scores your match from 0 to 100 and lists the skills you prove, the ones you only list and the ones that are missing.

Why does a skill on my profile count only half?

Listing a skill is a claim; a project or result in your resume is evidence. Add one to your resume and the skill counts fully.

Is the Fitment Report free?

Yes. Job seekers never pay on hiARed: searching, applying, the Fitment Report and company Transparency Reports are all free.

Does the score use AI or my private data?

No AI. It uses only your hiARed profile and active resume, compared with the job's published requirements.
