Zoho Recruit’s Zia AI extracts keywords and requirements from the Job Description including skills, experience level, and qualifications. It then scans the candidate’s parsed resume data for matches against these requirements. The resulting score is a percentage indicating overall alignment. Higher scores indicate stronger keyword and requirement overlap. The score is displayed on the candidate card within the pipeline view.
Zia Match Scores allow recruiters to quickly prioritise high-fit candidates in large application volumes. Rather than reading every resume individually, recruiters can sort candidates by match score and start with the top-ranked profiles. Match scores work best when job descriptions are detailed and candidate resumes are text-based rather than graphically formatted, which can reduce parsing accuracy.
Zia Match Score in Zoho Recruit is an AI-generated percentage showing how well a candidate’s resume aligns with a Job Opening’s requirements. It is calculated by comparing parsed resume data against job description keywords and is used to prioritise screening.
Zia Match Score accuracy depends on the quality of the job description and how well the resume was parsed. Detailed job descriptions with clear skill requirements and well-structured resumes produce more reliable scores. It works best as a prioritisation tool rather than a definitive hiring signal.
