We at hijob want to help you make the most of your career. Therefore we analyse your strengths and abilities and search for the best career opportunity for you – completely automatically.

But we can only work for you as good as you tell us about yourself in advance. Because if we do not know you, we cannot help you. That’s why it’s important that you fill out your profile in a meaningful way. Our owl will help you to see how well your profile is already filled. That looks like this:

 

If you have not yet reached 100% fill level, you will find a list of points you can add under our owl. Just click on it to complete the corresponding data.

Important: an application via hijob is only possible if your profile is at least 80% full. The reason for this is that our companies expect the meaningful profiles of suitable candidates. Poorly filled profiles do not meet this expectation, so an application is then not possible.

If you make changes to the profile, a new matching is performed.

• A matching is always restarted when you change something in your profile.
• The whole matching process can take several minutes. This depends on the complexity of your profile, the number of jobs and the amount of other talents for which we are also calculating match scores.
• If the matching process has just started, your job list is still empty.
• While the matching is still running, you will only see the jobs in all job lists for which a match score is already available. You can reload a list at any time.
• As soon as the matching is finished, we will inform you by email.

We call this automatic process Matching. And our matching process works like this:

• we automatically analyze your profile at hijob. We take all information into account. This includes skills, work experience, languages, education, job level, industry knowledge and much more.
• in a second step we analyze the requirements of the jobs published on hijob.me. Because every job has different qualifications, the fulfilment of which is needed for a successful application.
• in the last step we compare, also automatically, the two previously gained insights with each other. Thereby our artificial intelligence can determine how well you fit to each job.

This result is displayed in our Match Score. Here are a few examples of how this might look in your job list:

82% Match Score: this is a good value (although it could be better). You can now apply for this job.

 

60% Match Score: here you already do not meet 40% of the requirements anymore. Please read the requirements carefully before you apply.

 

45% Match Score: we think the job does not match your current profile. If you think the score should be better, please check if all information in your profile is correct:
