Start with job evidence, not a black-box score
Useful matching begins with requirements the hiring team can defend: skills, experience, location, work mode, availability and compensation. A score without the evidence behind each component is difficult to audit and easy to misuse.
Keep people in control
AI can retrieve and organise relevant profiles, but it should not make a hiring decision. Reviewers need to see why a profile surfaced, correct incomplete inputs and record the reason for consequential decisions.
Measure quality after the shortlist
Track whether recommendations progress to interviews and hires, broken down by source and role. This makes matching a testable workflow rather than a promise. Velinto keeps ranking deterministic and exposes its matching model.
