The "Ava Score" is a quick read on how well a candidate fits the job they applied to. It shows Ava's match confidence based on the candidate's skills, experience, and culture alignment for that role. Think of it as a second opinion that helps you prioritize who to look at first. It is not an automatic decision, and it never moves or rejects anyone on its own.
Where you will see it
- In the candidates list, as a colored percentage in the "Ava Score" column. The column tooltip reads: "Ava's match confidence, how well this candidate fits the role based on skills, experience, and culture alignment."
- As the colored ring around each candidate's avatar, so you can scan strong fits at a glance.
- On the candidate profile, in the "Ava · Your second opinion" card, with a plain-language summary and a "Match" percentage.
Seeing the reasoning
Open a candidate and find the "Ava · Your second opinion" card. Click "Show my reasoning" to expand Ava's explanation, including a "Strengths" list and a "Risks" list. This is where the score becomes useful, because it tells you what stood out and what to double-check before you reach out.
If there is no score yet
A candidate who has not been scored shows a dash instead of a percentage. That usually just means Ava has not finished, or there is not enough information yet. It is not a low score.
How to use it well
- Use the score to decide who to review first, not who to hire.
- Always read the "Strengths" and "Risks" before acting. A strong candidate can have a real risk worth a quick question.
- Do not skip lower-scored candidates automatically. The score reflects fit for one role, and people are more than their resume.
Good to know: The Ava Score is a guide for you and your team. You always make the final call using the profile, interviews, and your own judgment.
