How Hirerizz scores a job against your resume

Last updated · 1 November 2026Questions · hello@hirerizz.com
In short: A score is one number from 0 to 100, with the reasons shown. This page explains how we make it, what shapes your list, and where the score stops being useful.
1

What is the Hirerizz match score?

The match score is one number from 0 to 100. It compares your resume with one job description and tells you how well the two line up.

Next to the score you see what matched, the gaps and a one-line verdict. Each gap says why it matters and how to close it. There is one score, not a set of sub-scores. We do not show percentages for “skills” or “experience”, because we do not calculate them.

How do we make a score?

We make a score in four steps. A fast comparison narrows the jobs, then an AI model reads the closest ones.

  • Your resume becomes a profile. We read the skills, job titles, experience and seniority from the file you upload.
  • A fast comparison narrows the jobs. We gather jobs in advance into one shared set. We compare your profile with every job in it, then apply your location and work-mode choices as filters.
  • An AI model reads the closest jobs. It reads each one against your resume and returns the score, what matched and what is missing. It reads only the closest batch, so a job with no score has not been rejected. It was not in the batch.
  • We save the score. Opening a job again shows the same score. It changes only when you upload a new resume.

What rules does the ranking follow?

Four rules shape the order of your list. We keep them fixed so the list is easy to trust.

  • Salary never removes a job. Most Indian job posts do not state one, so it is only a soft ranking factor.
  • A job you have already seen moves lower in the list. We never hide it.
  • The label next to a score, such as “Apply now” or “Weak match”, comes from cut points we set. We may adjust them as we learn. We always show the label as text, never as a colour alone.
  • We show new jobs separately from older ones, so a fresh posting is not buried under an older job with a higher score.

Where do the jobs come from, and how fresh are they?

We are not a job board and we host no jobs. We collect jobs on a schedule from job boards, company career pages and applicant tracking systems into one shared set, and we merge duplicates. We do not search the web live for each user. We do not show jobs older than 30 days.

A posting can close before we notice. When you press Apply, we check that the posting still loads before we send you to it. Apply always opens the employer’s own page. You can report a closed job from the app.

What can the score not tell you?

The score cannot tell you whether you will get the job. It is a guide to where your time is best spent.

  • It is not a prediction of an interview or an offer. Employers decide on more than a resume.
  • An AI model can misread a resume or a job description. Check a score against the posting before you rely on it.
  • We have not yet collected enough outcomes to show how scores relate to callbacks. We ask users whether they applied and whether they heard back so we can test this. We will not claim a result until the data supports it.
  • We cover marketing, tech and finance roles in Delhi NCR, Bangalore and Mumbai. Outside that, the app tells you so.

What do we never do with your resume?

We never apply to a job for you. We write tailored resumes and cover letters from what your resume already says, and we instruct the product not to add skills, titles or numbers you did not provide. How we store and delete your data is on the Privacy page. How we write and check our own content is on the Editorial policy. If you have a question about a score, write to us from the Contact page.
