Frequently asked questions

ScieMatch evaluates how well your profile matches a certain company. The questions are based on popular studies about the most important factors that are considered when searching and deciding on a job position or job candidate. The algorithm is specialized to give out a high score and, therefore, a good match when the answers to the questions are similar on both sides (“true positives”). A low score does not necessarily mean that there is no match at all between company and candidate (“false negative”). When a score lower than 60 % is shown, we advise you to do further research on the company to find out whether it could be an interesting employer for you.
