Talview uses AI to generate resume fitment scores that help you quickly assess how well a candidate’s resume matches the job role. In this article, you’ll learn what resume fitment scores are, what the different fitment categories mean, and where to find them in the Screening step.

​
Before you begin

  • Resume fitment must be configured for your workflow. If it isn’t enabled, fitment scores won’t appear for candidates.
  • You need to be a Recruiter or Master Recruiter with access to the relevant workflow.

​
What is Resume fitment?

Resume fitment is an AI-generated score that evaluates how closely a candidate’s resume aligns with the job description attached to the workflow. The system analyses the candidate’s qualifications, experience, and skills against the role requirements and assigns a fitment category. The fitment categories are:
  • Strong Fit - the candidate’s resume closely matches the job requirements
  • Potential Fit - the candidate’s resume partially aligns with the job requirements
  • Low Fit - the candidate’s resume has significant gaps against the job requirements
  • Not Generated - the system was unable to generate a fitment score for this candidate
  • Evaluating - the system is currently processing the candidate’s resume for fitment
  • Failed - the fitment evaluation encountered an error and could not be completed
  • Pending - the candidate’s resume is queued for fitment evaluation

​
Where to view resume fitment scores?

You can view a candidate’s resume fitment score from two places within a workflow. From the All tab: Image
  1. Go inside the workflow.
  2. The All tab displays all candidates across every step. The Resume Fitment column shows each candidate’s fitment category.
Note: In the All tab, clicking on the fitment score doesn’t open the candidate’s details. The fitment score is visible here for a quick overview only.
From the Screening step tab: Image
  1. Go inside the workflow and navigate to the Screening step tab.
  2. The fitment score is displayed next to each candidate in the list.

​
Understanding fitment reasoning

Along with the fitment category, the system provides a reasoning summary that explains why the candidate received that rating. For example, if a candidate is rated Strong Fit, the reasoning will highlight the qualifications and experience that align well with the job description. Similarly, a Low Fit rating will outline the gaps or mismatches identified. This helps you make informed decisions without having to manually compare each resume against the job description.
Additional tips
  • Resume fitment scores are only available when the feature is configured for your workflow. If you don’t see fitment scores, check with your admin.
  • The All tab is useful for a quick glance at fitment scores across all candidates, while the Screening step tab lets you click into each candidate’s details.
  • Fitment reasoning gives you a quick summary, but it’s always a good practice to review the candidate’s full resume for a complete picture.
  • Evaluators can also view resume fitment scores and reasoning from the Candidate Detail View when evaluating candidates.
