Watch AI candidate matching find your best candidates

A 90-second walkthrough of AI candidate matching in ejoobi, from posting a role to reviewing your shortlist.

How AI candidate matching works in Smart Candidate Finder

Three steps from job post to ranked shortlist. No manual screening. No reading 200 CVs.

1

Post your role with your exact requirements

Use the guided 4-step job posting wizard to define the skills, experience level, location and minimum qualification your role needs. The more specific you are, the more accurate your matches.

2

ejoobi scores every candidate automatically

The moment you publish, ejoobi scans its verified candidate database and scores every person against your four criteria. Each candidate gets a clear match percentage from 0 to 100.

3

Review your ranked shortlist, not 200 CVs

Within 48 hours your shortlist is ready, sorted from highest to lowest match. You see the score breakdown before opening a single CV. One click adds the best candidates to your hiring pipeline.

How the AI candidate matching score is calculated

Every candidate is scored across four dimensions. The weightings reflect what hiring managers consistently say matters most when filling a role.

A candidate who scores 80% or above is highlighted as a strong match. Scores below 60% are deprioritised: they stay visible but do not crowd your shortlist. You control the threshold. Unlike a basic applicant tracking system that only stores CVs, Smart Candidate Finder ranks people by fit.

Skills and experience account for 65% of the total score, because what someone can do matters more than where they live or what degree they hold.

AI candidate matching for every hiring team

ejoobi works for any organisation filling roles, from a single business owner to a full agency team.

FOR SMEs

Small and growing businesses

You handle hiring yourself alongside everything else. ejoobi gives you the same quality of candidate matching that large corporates get from full recruitment teams, without the cost or the headcount.

FOR AGENCIES

Recruitment agencies managing multiple clients

Run searches across all your client roles simultaneously. Every client gets a ranked shortlist. You deliver faster, with higher quality, and your team spends less time on manual screening.

FOR HR TEAMS

HR managers in established organisations

When you are managing volume hiring across multiple departments or locations, ejoobi keeps your shortlists structured, consistent and fast, regardless of how many roles are open at once.

Frequently asked questions about AI candidate matching

Clear answers to the questions hiring teams ask most.

ejoobi’s Smart Candidate Finder uses AI candidate matching to score every candidate across four dimensions: Skills match (40%), Experience level (25%), Location proximity (20%) and Qualification level (15%). Each candidate receives a match percentage from 0 to 100. Scores above 80% are flagged as strong matches. The scoring runs automatically the moment you publish a job post, with no manual setup required.

Most ejoobi clients receive their first AI-ranked shortlist within 48 hours of posting a job. The more detail you add to the role (required skills, location, experience level and minimum qualification), the more accurate and faster the shortlist will be. Jobs posted against ejoobi’s 16,000+ verified candidate database typically get results fastest.

ejoobi’s AI candidate matching reaches 92% accuracy on first shortlists across all industries. This means 9 in 10 candidates in your shortlist genuinely meet the core requirements of your role. Accuracy improves further when job posts include detailed skill requirements, specific minimum experience levels and location preferences.

No. Smart Candidate Finder ranks candidates by how well they match the requirements you set, but a person on your team always decides who to contact, interview and hire. You can see the score breakdown for every candidate, so you always know why someone is ranked where they are.

Yes. ejoobi is built for both SMEs hiring directly and recruitment agencies managing multiple client roles. The Scale plan includes unlimited active roles and 5 team seats. Agencies can run simultaneous AI searches across all client roles and deliver shortlists significantly faster than manual processes allow.

ejoobi covers ICT and Engineering, Marketing and Creative, FMCG and Retail, Logistics and Supply Chain, Finance and Accounting, Human Resources, Hospitality and more. The matching engine works across all industries because you define the required skills. ejoobi scores candidates against exactly what you specify, not a generic industry template.

A traditional job board shows you everyone who applied, in the order they applied. ejoobi shows you the people who actually match your role, ranked by how well they fit. You spend time reviewing relevant candidates instead of filtering out the ones who should not have applied. ejoobi also includes a full hiring pipeline, candidate tracking and verification checks in one platform.
