Hiring great people shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. That’s why Sprockets gives every applicant a Match Score. A simple, powerful way to instantly see who’s most likely to succeed in your role. We combine their application responses, alignment with your company values, AI insights, and a proven profile of success to help you make confident hiring decisions, faster. No guesswork required!
What It Does
Rather than just relying on resumes or manually reviewing applications, this feature gives each applicant a Match Score based on:
- Their Application Answers
- AI Evaluation of Open-Ended Responses and Optional Answers
- Alignment with Your Company Values
- Fit with an Ideal “Success Profile” for the Role
You’ll see each of these scores broken down right in the applicant sidebar, plus an Overall Match Score to help you prioritize interviews faster and more confidently.
Benefits to You
- Better Matches: Quickly spot who aligns with your goals and culture
- Faster Screening: One simple score makes decisions easier
- Custom Fit: Tailor scoring to reflect your hiring priorities
- No Extra Work: Use our proven defaults or let us handle the setup
How It’s Set Up
To turn on Full Application + Profile Matching, here’s what you’ll need:
- Company Prompt
- A short sentence that reflects your values, for example:
- “Our company values ownership, curiosity, and clear communication. We’re looking for candidates who are proactive, open to feedback, and can thrive in ambiguous environments.”
- We’ll use this default unless you’d prefer to customize.
- A short sentence that reflects your values, for example:
- Full Application Template
- You may already have one! If not, we’ll help build one that includes:
- Multiple choice, yes/no, or short-answer questions
- (Optional) Tags like Good, Bad, or Knockout to guide scoring
- You may already have one! If not, we’ll help build one that includes:
- Success Profile (Optional)
- A description of your ideal hire. Traits, behaviors, and values that lead to success. You can provide your own or let us use a default profile tailored to your job type, built from data on what works best in your industry.
- AI Prompts (Optional)
- Want to highlight something specific, like reliability or customer service? We can configure AI to look for it in candidate responses.
