Understand a job match explanation

Match information is guidance to help you review a role, not an employer decision.

1. Open the job’s full details and read the requirements.
2. Sign in as a candidate if the match panel asks you to.
3. Review the available match explanation and the profile signals it uses.
4. Compare the explanation with your actual skills, experience and location.
5. Update inaccurate or missing profile details in Profile & résumés, then review the match again.
6. Decide whether to apply based on the job requirements and your own judgment.

A match score is not a hiring guarantee, a complete skills assessment or permission to invent profile details. Unavailable match information does not necessarily prevent an otherwise allowed application.
