We think a lot of companies know that great candidates aren't found through overkill when it comes to requirements and that you need some flexibility. In general though, our matching algorithm relies on what the company sets as essential skills. This way, we're able to filter out applicants who are entirely unqualified while leaving it up to the hiring company to decide if you're a good fit for an interview. If you have the right skills, and its apparent in your profile, the company will see this when they take a look in the talent pool for the job. But over time, our AI will suggest core skills for job postings through comparison to who was hired for similar jobs on our site according to the skills they had.
