Match signals compare a builder profile against an opportunity. They appear to the company that published the opportunity, and they are shaped by what you put on your profile.

Where match signals appear

A publisher who owns an opportunity sees a Matches tab on it. Availability depends on your company’s plan. See pricing. The tab lists builders ranked by required skills, role context, proof signals, and availability, with a fit label of Strong fit, Good fit, or Potential fit and short chips explaining each match. Builders are not shown a publisher’s ranked Matches list or their place on it. What you control is the profile the match reads.

What the match reads

  • Skills on your profile, and whether they carry endorsements or verified experience behind them.
  • Roles and seniority in your experience entries.
  • Projects and recommendations.
  • Your availability intents and your location or remote preference.
  • Whether your account has been active recently.

Improve the source rather than the score

  1. Add the skills and experience you actually have, and remove entries you can no longer stand behind.
  2. Verify experience where a company can attest it, so a claim reads as proof rather than assertion.
  3. Keep your availability intents current.
  4. Apply through the official process on the opportunity itself. A match never replaces an application.
A match uses only the profile and opportunity text available at the time. It can miss work you have not added, and it can overweight a shared keyword. It does not decide eligibility and it does not predict selection. The publisher still chooses who moves forward.
