What it compares
A match score compares the skills and experience on your default CV, and your job preferences, with what the listing asks for. 85% or more is a strong match.
Why a job matched
Each job shows a line explaining the match — for example “Matches design systems and accessibility from your CV”.
Who sees it
Only you. Employers never see your score, and it never decides anything about your application.
