Explainable Job Matching for Germany

What is job matching?

Job matching compares a listing with a candidate profile and estimates how well they fit. It only becomes useful when broken down. A role can be an excellent professional fit and still fail because the location does not work. Another may look weaker on paper but be exactly the step up you want. So skills, practical constraints and compensation are assessed separately rather than blended into one opaque number.

What is assessed

Professional overlap with your profile
Location, remote policy and commuting distance
Salary against your floor
Seniority and scope of responsibility

How it works

How a score is produced

Hard rules first

Location rules and salary floors are checked deterministically. A role that breaks your location rule is not rescued by a strong professional fit.

Professional fit

Then the overlap between requirements and evidenced experience is assessed, including related technologies and comparable responsibility.

Name the gaps

Where a requirement is unevidenced or only partly met, it is listed as an open point instead of disappearing into the total.

Check every track

The role is checked against each active career track. It is recommended if it fits at least one, and you see which.

Judging it yourself or having it scored

	Reading each one	With scoring
Time per listing	two to five minutes	seconds
Comparability	depends on the day	same criteria
Location rules	in your head	checked deterministically
Weak points	surface later	named upfront
Several target roles	hard to separate	shown per track

Who benefits most

With many results

When dozens of listings arrive daily, pre-sorting is the actual work.

With firm conditions

If you mean it about location and salary, you do not want to check every listing by hand.

When you are unsure

The breakdown tells you whether applying despite a missing requirement is worth it.

A score that says something

Instead of "92 percent" on its own, you see what produces it and where the gap is. The open point matters as much as the overlap, because it tells you what to address in your cover letter or interview.

Limitations

What a score cannot tell you

It does not know the team

Culture, management and how people work together are not in the listing, and they often decide whether a job is good.

It reads what is written

A badly written listing produces a weaker score even when the role itself would be a good one.

Missing data stays missing

Without a stated salary there can be no salary check. That is shown as unknown rather than estimated.

It is not a rejection

A low score does not mean you have no chance. It means the listing and your evidenced profile have little in common.

FAQ

Questions about job matching

How is the percentage calculated?

It combines deterministically checked rules such as location and salary with an assessment of how well the listing and your profile align. The components are shown separately so you can see what drives the number.

Why do I not see certain roles?

Because they fit none of your active career tracks, usually due to a location or salary rule. If results feel thin, the rules are worth revisiting before the search terms.
