# How Can I Track Candidate Match Scores Automatically During Screening?

You track match scores by connecting resume or application data to defined criteria, calculating a score for each candidate automatically as they enter screening. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Recrutamento** with a match percentage field.

Screening a large volume of applications without any scoring mechanism forces the hiring team to review every single one at the same level of depth, wasting time on clearly weak fits.

## What screening without scoring costs

- Equal review time spent on both strong and clearly weak candidates
- No objective way to prioritize which applications to review first
- Risk of a strong candidate getting buried in a long, unranked list
- Time spent reviewing applications that a quick score would have deprioritized

## How automated match scoring during screening works

- Application data connects to defined criteria for the specific role
- A **match percentage** calculates automatically for each candidate
- Candidates can be sorted by score, prioritizing the strongest fits first
- This lets the team focus review time where it's most likely to matter

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic scoring removes the need for equal-depth review of every application
- Prioritized sorting ensures the strongest candidates get attention first
- This reduces the risk of a strong candidate being buried in an unranked list
- This scales from a modest applicant pool to a high-volume hiring campaign

| Unscored screening        | Automated match scoring       |

| Equal review time for all | Prioritized by calculated fit |
