Use the candidate matching feature of Candidate Management to search for internal or external candidates in your database. Find candidates whose profiles match most closely to those of other candidates or to the requirements of a particular job requisition or posting. These matches are based on a keyword search of candidate profiles.
When you match candidates, you lose any filters or searches you already applied to the list of candidates. If you match again while viewing a match, you lose the previous match.

To use candidate matching to find candidates in the Improved Recruiter Experience:
- Go to Recruiting > Candidate Management.
- On the Candidates tab, click Candidate Matching.
- Choose one of the following:
- Job Requisition Matching: Find candidates who might be a good fit for an open job requisition.
- Candidate Profile Matching: Find candidates with similar backgrounds and skill sets to somebody who would be an ideal candidate if they were available.
- Choose what you want to use to identify candidate matches:
- For job requisition matching, select the job requisition you want to use. You can then select a specific posting if you want.
- For candidate profile matching, select the candidate.
- Select the criteria that you want to use to identify candidate matches. For each criterion, you can add a weight between 0 and 100 to affect the ranking of the candidates. These weights don’t need to total 100.
- You can choose from criteria such as skills, education, job titles, industries, languages, certifications, and management level.
- Click Submit.
The results are shown in the candidates list. The Match column shows the matching score for each candidate. The closest matches are listed first. To remove the match results and go back to searching and filtering the list, click Clear Match.
