What Is Resume Fit Score?
The Resume Fit Score helps you assess how closely a candidate’s resume aligns with your job posting.
How it works:
1. Hellohire compares each candidate’s resume against your provided job description and requirements.
2. A Fit Score out of 100 is generated to indicate how well the candidate matches your criteria.
3. This score gives you a quick, objective overview to help prioritize top applicants.
How to Set Up Resume Fit Scoring
Hellohire uses AI to assess a candidate’s resume against the job description to evaluate their fit for the role. Resume Fit Score configuration is managed at the job level and uses the existing job description associated with that job.
Step 1: Select a Job
Navigate to the Jobs section and click on the job for which you want to configure Resume Fit Scoring.

Step 2: Locate the Resume Fit Score Configuration
From the selected job, click “Job Details”

Note: The existing job description is used to automatically score each candidate’s resume out of 100, so there’s no need to enter it separately.
When a qualified candidate schedules an interview, their Resume Fit Score will be displayed at the top of their profile. By clicking on the score, you can view the details regarding how the score was determined:
