Technical Deep Dive

See how it works under the hood

JobFit is tuned for technical job descriptions and entry-level applicants (interns, new grads, early career). Results are most meaningful for these cases; it is not designed for senior or highly experienced roles.

Beyond Keyword Matching

Traditional ATS tools rely on exact keyword matches, missing semantic relevance when wording differs. JobFit combines semantic analysis with skill extraction to provide a comprehensive, interpretable match score.

Example:

Job Description: "React experience required"
Your Resume: "Built SPAs with modern frontend frameworks"

✓ Semantic matching captures this alignment even without exact keywords

Semantic Similarity Engine

How it works:

  • 1.Generate embeddings for both job description and resume using OpenAI text-embedding-3-small
  • 2.Compute cosine similarity between the embedding vectors
  • 3.Normalize similarity score to 0-100 range for interpretability

Why embeddings?

Embeddings capture conceptual alignment by representing text as high-dimensional vectors. Similar concepts cluster together in vector space, enabling semantic matching beyond exact word overlap.

Limitation:

While powerful for conceptual matching, embeddings alone don't indicate which specific skills are missing. That's why we combine this with explicit skill extraction.

Skill Extraction & Matching

LLM-based extraction:

Uses GPT to extract required and preferred skills from job descriptions, understanding context that regex patterns miss.

  • Required skills: Must-have qualifications
  • Preferred skills: Nice-to-have additions

Why LLM instead of regex?

  • • Job description phrasing varies wildly across companies
  • • Skills appear in responsibilities, qualifications, or culture sections
  • • LLMs understand context (e.g., "frontend-focused role" → React/TypeScript implied)

Importance weighting:

Not all skills are equally important. The system assigns weights based on:

  • • Linguistic cues ("must", "required" vs "preferred", "nice-to-have")
  • • Position in job description (earlier = more important)
  • • Frequency and emphasis

Multi-Signal Scoring System

Multiple interpretable scores:

Semantic Score (0-100)

Measures conceptual alignment between your experience narrative and role expectations

Skill Match Score (weighted)

Combines required skill coverage (90% weight) and preferred skill coverage (10% weight)

Final Match Score (blended)

Weighted combination of semantic similarity and skill matching for holistic evaluation

Why multiple scores?

A single opaque number doesn't explain why you're a good or poor match. Breaking down the score into interpretable components helps you understand exactly where you stand and what to improve.
