🎓 Scoring Algorithm

Methodology

The compatibility score uses a weighted multi-factor approach:

Total Score = (Skills × 0.50) + (Role × 0.30) + (Experience × 0.20)

Component Breakdown

1. Skills Match (50% Weight)

skills_score = (matched_skills / total_required_skills) × 100

• Extracts technical & soft skills using NLP
• Calculates overlap percentage
• Applies semantic similarity matching

2. Role Relevance (30% Weight)

role_score = cosine_similarity(resume_titles, job_title) × 100

• Compares job titles using TF-IDF vectors
• Analyzes responsibility descriptions
• Evaluates industry-specific terminology

3. Experience Level (20% Weight)

exp_score = min(resume_years / required_years, 1.0) × 100

• Compares years of experience
• Assesses education level
• Evaluates certification relevance

Score Interpretation

Range	Grade	Interpretation	Action
90-100	A+	Outstanding Match	Apply immediately
85-89	A	Excellent Match	Minor tweaks recommended
70-84	B	Good Match	Some improvements needed
60-69	C	Moderate Match	Significant updates required
50-59	D	Fair Match	Major revisions needed
0-49	F	Poor Match	Consider different position

Advanced Features

• Semantic Matching: Uses word embeddings for context-aware comparisons
• Synonym Detection: Recognizes equivalent skills (JS ≈ JavaScript)
• Weighted Keywords: Prioritizes critical skills over nice-to-haves
• Industry Adaptation: Adjusts scoring based on job category

🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❌ spaCy Model Not Found

# Solution
python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm

# Verify installation
python -c "import spacy; nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm'); print('OK')"

❌ PDF Text Extraction Fails

Causes:

• Scanned image PDF (not text-based)
• Password-protected PDF
• Corrupted file

Solutions:

# Test PDF manually
python -c "import fitz; doc = fitz.open('resume.pdf'); print(doc[0].get_text())"

# Convert scanned PDF using OCR (requires tesseract)
pip install pytesseract

❌ Low Accuracy Scores

Best Practices:

• ✅ Use detailed job descriptions (300+ words)
• ✅ Include complete resume content
• ✅ Ensure proper formatting in both documents
• ✅ List all relevant skills explicitly

❌ Upload Errors

# Check file size
MAX_SIZE = 16 * 1024 * 1024  # 16MB

# Check file type
ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS = {'pdf'}

# Verify upload folder exists
import os
os.makedirs('uploads', exist_ok=True)

Performance Optimization

# Increase worker timeout
gunicorn --timeout 300 main:app

# Optimize spaCy processing
nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_sm', disable=['parser', 'ner'])

# Enable caching
from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=100)
def process_text(text):
    return nlp(text)
