How Eva’s Search and Candidate Ranking Really Work
Finding the right candidate shouldn’t feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Eva makes the search smarter by going beyond basic keyword matching. Here’s how it works:
🚫 The Problem with Traditional Search
Most platforms rely on keyword or Boolean searches. But these have serious limitations:
-
Every skill is treated the same—no way to say what’s more important.
-
You can’t tell how well someone knows a skill.
-
You often end up with hundreds of resumes, and still have to read each one to spot the good fits.
✅ How Eva Does It Differently
Eva lets you search the way a recruiter thinks—by prioritizing what really matters.
You can:
-
Group Similar Skills: Want someone with Angular or React or jQuery? Group them together.
-
Set Must-Have Skills: Make certain skills or groups absolutely required.
-
Assign Skill Levels:
-
-
Expert – This is the candidate’s core skill, where they shine.
-
Proficient – They’re solid, but it’s not their main thing.
-
Nice to Have – A bonus, not a dealbreaker.
-
-
🧠Role-Based Filtering
Eva also factors in the job title. That means you can find a Java Developer, not just anyone with “Java” on their resume (like a tester or analyst).
🎯 Smarter Ranking = Better Matches
The result? Candidates are ranked based on how well they match your must-haves, not just whether they used the right words. You spend less time reading resumes and more time talking to the right people.
