How a job gets its score

The number on a job card is the last step of a pipeline that starts the moment you open a posting. Here is what happens in between, and what the number does and does not mean.

Capture first, score second

The extension does not score anything itself. It captures the posting, title, company, location and the full description, and sends it to your workspace. Scoring runs there, against every profile of yours that is open to work and has a primary resume. If you switch resumes, every scored match is re-scored.

Requirement by requirement

The posting is split into requirements, and each one is tagged: a skill, a piece of experience, a location constraint. Required lines and preferred lines are kept apart, because they mean different things to a hiring manager.

Each requirement is then checked against your resume and the facts in your memory. A met line quotes the evidence: "Built 21 agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore" is not a paraphrase of your resume, it is the line the scorer found. A gap is named as a gap. The Fit tab shows the whole list, so you can see why 90 is 90.

What the number means

The match score combines the required and preferred coverage with two checks you can read at a glance: whether the discipline is the same as yours, and whether the seniority is above, at or below your level. "Must 18/18, Nice 0/0" tells you the posting listed eighteen required lines and no preferred ones, and that every required line found evidence.

The score learns from you

Dismiss a job and the ranker learns what you are not looking for. Approve a correction in the review inbox, "Open to remote full-time AI Engineer roles in the United States", for example, and every future score uses it. The scorer flags these corrections itself while it works, so the profile it scores against gets more accurate the more you use it.

What is free

All of this is. Job capture and scoring never touch your credit balance.
