How Zolra Intelligence Matches Candidates to Your Jobs
When you post a job on Zolra, Zolra Intelligence runs a multi-dimensional match against every candidate whose profile signals relevance. Here’s what happens behind the scenes:
The Scoring Pipeline
- Skills Match (40% of score) — Zolra Intelligence compares required skills in your JD against the candidate’s listed skills, project tech stacks, and GitHub activity. It understands skill adjacency (“React” and “Next.js” are related).
- Experience Fit (25%) — Years of experience, past roles, project complexity, and domain relevance.
- Culture Signals (15%) — Remote preference alignment, communication style (from feed activity), and work-style indicators.
- Profile Quality (10%) — Profile completeness, portfolio quality, recommendation signals.
- Activity Recency (10%) — Active users who engage on the platform are scored higher than dormant profiles.
The Nightly Cycle
Zolra Intelligence runs scoring jobs each night. By 8 AM, your applicant dashboard shows updated rankings with transparent score breakdowns. You see exactly why each candidate scored what they did.
What You See
For each applicant, you get:
- Overall match score (0–100)
- Breakdown by dimension (skills, experience, culture, quality, activity)
- Highlighted strengths and gaps

How to Get Better Matches
