Match scores and AI evaluations
Two ways to judge a job. An instant quick match from your skills, and a full AI evaluation that reads the posting.
Last updated 31 October 2026
Quick match
Every job shows a quick match score as soon as you have skills in your profile. It's free, instant and needs no AI. RolePort compares your skills with those in the posting and shows You have and They also want. Strong skills count most and skills you're learning count least.
It only compares skills, so use it for sorting, not for deciding.
AI fit evaluation
Click Evaluate fit on a job, or analyze up to 10 from the results. The AI reads the posting against your profile and checks the gates first, then scores the job.
Gates
Gates are yes or no questions that a good score can't outweigh.
| Gate | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Whether you're legally allowed to hold the job: work rights, where applicants may live, clearances and licences |
| Language | Each language the role requires, against your profile |
| Location | Whether you could do the job without relocating |
Each gate comes back as Pass, Check (your judgement is needed, such as when you'd need a visa), Fail, or for eligibility Unverified (a foreign employer that doesn't say who it accepts). Doubts are shown with the posting's own words, quoted.
Scores
| Score | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Technical skills | 30% | Core requirements against your skills |
| Experience | 25% | The nature of your work, not just job titles |
| Culture fit | 15% | How the role matches your preferences |
| Career alignment | 30% | Whether it moves you towards your goals |
RolePort works out the overall score itself from these weights, so the AI can't inflate it.
| Overall score | Band | Advice |
|---|---|---|
| 75 and up | Strong fit | Definitely apply and tailor everything |
| 60 to 74 | Good fit | Apply, and address the gaps in your cover letter |
| 45 to 59 | Moderate fit | Consider it carefully before investing time |
| 30 to 44 | Weak fit | Probably skip unless there's a strategic reason |
| Below 30 | Poor fit | Skip this one |
Excluded jobs
A job is excluded from the ranking, whatever its score, if a gate fails, it hits one of your deal-breakers, the posting says it's closed, or its deadline has passed. RolePort shows the reason, and you can still apply if you disagree.
