Methodology
A job-match score you can question
MatchRadar is a prioritisation tool, not a hiring oracle. It compares evidence in your CV and preferences with the requirements in a posting, then shows the reason, the supporting evidence and the gaps. You keep the final decision.

What the comparison looks at
The comparison starts with the role itself: responsibilities, required skills, seniority, location and working arrangement. It then looks for evidence in your CV and the preferences you confirmed during setup.
A keyword alone is weak evidence. A skill connected to a responsibility, result or length of experience is more useful. Location and remote preferences are treated as practical constraints, not as small cosmetic details.
- Role and seniority alignment
- Required skills supported by CV evidence
- Responsibilities similar to work you have already done
- Location, remote and relocation preferences
- Explicit gaps, including requirements the CV does not prove
Why the explanation matters more than one number
Two jobs can receive a similar overall assessment for very different reasons. One may match your core work but ask for an unfamiliar industry; another may match the tools but sit a full seniority level above you. The explanation separates those trade-offs.
MatchRadar shows matched, partial and missing requirements so you can disagree intelligently. If your CV omits a skill you genuinely have, the gap is also useful feedback: the application may need clearer evidence.
What the score does not know
A posting is an imperfect description and a CV is an incomplete history. Neither reveals the hiring manager’s priorities, the internal candidate pool, salary flexibility or whether a stated preference is negotiable.
The result is not sent to employers and does not represent an ATS, recruiter or company decision. MatchRadar does not apply on your behalf. It helps you decide where your own time is most likely to be well spent.
Freshness and user control
The radar scans new postings on weekdays and removes jobs once they are known to be expired. A source can still leave a stale vacancy online, so you should confirm availability on the employer or application page before preparing an application.
Saving, dismissing and changing your profile remain your decisions. The product ranks opportunities; it does not create an automatic application pipeline.
Common questions
Is the match score the same as an ATS score?
No. An ATS may parse, filter or rank candidates for an employer. MatchRadar works for the candidate and compares a posting with the evidence in one CV so the candidate can prioritise jobs.
Does a missing requirement mean I should not apply?
Not automatically. Separate a true gate, such as a required licence, from a preference or a skill you can learn. Use the explanation to judge the importance of the gap.
Can an employer see my result?
No. MatchRadar is candidate-side only. Employers do not receive your score, gaps or CV from MatchRadar.
