For a candidate to be suggested for a job position, their profile must match the job in the following ways:
- A salary that matches the range specified by the job (+/-10%)
- The same country and region as the job (unless the candidate has specified they are willing to relocate)
- The tags in the job or some of the job description match the career history and / or profile of the candidate (a career history match is more likely to lead to a suggested candidate)
- Industry sector and career level specified by the candidate will also be considered relevant
