Understanding match bands

A match band is a review signal for one application against one role. It is not a verdict about a person.

RoleSage calculates an internal application match score from saved application data, candidate profile data, selected activity evidence, role requirements, and alignment information. The product shows that result mainly as a band so users do not over-read tiny numeric differences.

Bands

BandWhat it means
Priority Review or Strong MatchStrong alignment. Review closely and validate through evidence and conversation.
Promising MatchMeaningful alignment with some gaps or unknowns.
Partial MatchSome relevant fit exists, but material gaps remain.
Limited MatchSignificant gaps are visible in the current application data.
Low MatchThe saved evidence does not currently show strong alignment.

What feeds a band

RoleSage uses six dimensions:

  • Skills.
  • Salary alignment.
  • Experience depth and recency.
  • Values alignment.
  • Profile Strength.
  • Hirer-question answers, when the Role Opening includes them.

What to do with a band

Candidates should improve accuracy and evidence, not chase a hidden number. Hirers should use the band as triage, then review the evidence, gaps, interview notes, and human context.
