The Match Formula
Your match score is the result of how well a job aligns with your ranked preferences. It’s displayed as a percentage:
- 90–100%: Perfect fit
- 75–89%: Strong match
- 50–74%: Decent match
- Below 50%: Weak match
What Goes Into It
Scores are weighted - FlyHire has a default algorithm set in case you have no specific preferences. Your match score is based on the following:
- Job Type
- Location
- Company
- Salary
- Benefits
- Fleet (if pilot)
Your manual ranking affects how these weights are applied -your top priority will have a greater weight than others.
