Smart Screening’s Candidate Summary and Score
When you use Smart Screening, each applicant has a Candidate Summary Page. This page shows a score ranging from 0 to 100 for applications called the Smart Fit Score™. You still make all hiring decisions—who to interview and who to hire.

How the score works
The Smart Fit Score™ uses the screening criteria you set for your job. It reviews the information each applicant provides:
- Resume
- Screening question answers
- Location details
- Other application information
The score reflects how well each application matches what you're looking for. It doesn't compare applicants to one another or use external data. It only uses what the applicant submitted and the criteria you set.
How the score is calculated
It is powered by an employer’s specific screening criteria, which is translated into a structured evaluation framework, weighting each criteria based on what matters most, according to the employer.
So if the employer says management experience is a must-have and budgeting experience is a nice-to-have, missing the management experience will have a bigger impact on the score than the budgeting experience.
Use the Candidate’s Summary for more details
The score is just one part of the picture. The Candidate Summary Page provides a unified view of each application.
The Candidate’s summary includes details such as:
- The Smart Fit Score™. (0 to 100)
- Where the application matches your job requirements
- Areas that may need a closer look
- Key details from the applicant's resume and answers
This helps you understand why an application received its score and make better hiring decisions.
