Applicant Scoring helps you quickly assess how well a candidate matches a specific job posting. AvaHR’s AI-powered scoring system analyzes the applicant’s resume and compares it to your job description, providing a numeric score and a short summary explaining the match. This enables faster, more informed hiring decisions.
How It Works
AvaHR scans both the job description and the applicant's resume, identifying alignment in key areas such as:
- Relevant experience
- Skills and qualifications
- Keywords and phrases
- Industry-specific terminology
From there, we generate a match score between 0 and 100, accompanied by a brief summary highlighting why the candidate received that score.

Best Practices
- Make sure your job description is detailed and specific to improve scoring accuracy.
- Consider applicants with Blue or Yellow scores for unique roles or if hiring in competitive markets.
- Use scores as a starting point, not the only decision-making factor.
