Take AssessmentFusion Score Algorithm
The Fusion Score combines psychometric assessment data (BPRA) with AI-extracted resume evidence to create a comprehensive candidate profile. BPRA captures potential through scientific assessment, while resume evidence validates demonstrated experience.
Formula
Fusion = 0.6 × BPRA_Potential + 0.4 × Resume_EvidenceScientific psychometric assessment capturing latent potential across 16 CCS dimensions
NER-extracted skills, experience, and behavioral evidence from resume data
Why Dual-Source Fusion?
Overcomes Self-Report Bias
BPRA uses situational judgment and forced-choice questions to minimize social desirability bias that plagues self-reported data.
Captures Latent Potential
Resume data shows what you've done; BPRA reveals what you're capable of — especially important for career changers and fresh graduates.
Validated Weighting
The 60/40 weighting was empirically validated through regression analysis on 120+ student profiles against career outcomes.
Continuous Evolution
The Fusion Score updates as new assessment data and resume evidence are added, creating a dynamic career profile.
Fit Score Algorithm
Multi-dimensional job-candidate matching using weighted similarity across competency, experience, personality, and career aspirations
Formula Breakdown
FitScore = w₁·CompetencyFit + w₂·ExperienceFit + w₃·PersonalityFit + w₄·CareerAspirationFitHow It Works
The Fit Score calculates a normalized similarity percentage between a candidate's profile (from BPRA & Resume) and a job role's requirements.
It uses a weighted cosine similarity for competency vectors and custom scoring for other dimensions.
Sub-Component Weights
Competency Match
Vector similarity between candidate's 16 CCS scores and the job's required proficiency levels.
Experience Match
Alignment of years of experience, seniority, and specific project/domain experience.
Career Aspiration Match
Similarity of candidate's stated career goals, interests, and desired work-life balance to the job's offerings.
Personality & Culture Fit
Based on BPRA-derived personality traits (Empathy, Resilience, Communication, Achievement, Adaptability) mapped to the company's culture profile.
Example Calculation
Recent graduate with strong analytical skills and internship experience in market research.
Entry-level Data Analyst role at a fast-growing tech startup.
High competency and aspiration match, moderate experience match.
Dual-Track Recommendation
Beyond a single score, we provide both a primary career path and a set of alternative, high-potential secondary paths to broaden opportunities.
Primary Track (Best Fit)
The role with the highest Fit Score, representing the strongest immediate match.
Data Scientist
Strong alignment in Python, SQL, and statistical analysis skills. High aspiration match for a data-driven role.
Secondary Track (Growth Potential)
Roles where you have high latent potential, even if direct experience is lacking.
Alternative Suggestion: Product Analyst
Leverages your analytical mindset. Requires developing skills in user story mapping and A/B testing.
Explainable AI (XAI)
We believe in transparent AI. Our XAI features break down your Fit Score, providing actionable insights and personalized recommendations for career growth.
