# How Do I Automate a Candidate Scoring Process Based on Fit?

You automate candidate scoring by defining criteria, like experience and skills match, that combine into a calculated fit score for every candidate automatically. On **Jestor**, this runs through **RH e Recrutamento** with structured scoring fields.

Judging candidate fit purely on gut feeling, without any consistent scoring method, risks inconsistency between different interviewers and makes it hard to compare candidates fairly.

## What gut-feeling candidate evaluation costs

- Inconsistent judgment between different interviewers evaluating the same criteria
- Difficulty comparing candidates fairly when there's no shared scoring method
- Risk of overlooking a strong candidate simply due to interviewer bias
- No documented basis for why a particular candidate was advanced or rejected

## How automated candidate scoring works

- Defined criteria, like experience and skills, combine into a **fit score**
- Each candidate's score calculates consistently, based on the same criteria
- Interviewers can add their own input while working from the same baseline scoring
- The score provides a documented, consistent basis for advancing candidates

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Consistent scoring criteria remove interviewer-to-interviewer variability
- Fair comparison across candidates becomes possible with a shared method
- Documented scores provide a defensible basis for hiring decisions
- This scales from a small hiring volume to recruiting for many roles at once

| Gut-feeling evaluation        | Structured fit scoring          |

| Inconsistent, hard to compare | Consistent, documented criteria |

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can scoring criteria be customized per role?** Yes, different roles can weigh criteria differently. More at [jestor.com](https://www.jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).
