Most ATS platforms predictably match keywords. Remagent scores people based on your criteria. Drag the sliders below to see how Remagent's Dynamic skills matching system (DSMS) dynamically scores candidates based on what's important to you.

Dynamic Skills Matching System (DSMS)

DSMS scores candidates against your postings using six dimensions. Adjust how heavily each dimension counts — these weights apply to all your job postings unless overridden per-JP. Defaults work well for most businesses.

Weight cascade

Weights resolve top-down

You can set weights at three levels. The system always uses the most specific one it finds — working down the chain until it hits a defined value.

1
Job posting override
A specific role can carry its own weight profile, set from the Pipeline view.
2
Vertical Defaults
Set a unique scoring profile for each line of business. Every vertical gets its own weighting — so distinct roles are never measured the same way.
3
Business unit Marketplace weights
Reverts back to the Marketplace weight profile for that vertical.
4
System defaults
25 / 22 / 20 / 18 / 10 / 5 — the out-of-the-box weights. A sensible starting point for most engineering hiring workflows.
Scope

What DSMS doesn't score

The algorithm is intentionally bounded. These signals exist in the system — they are kept separate from the structured match score.

📄
Cover letters & free text
AI briefing tools summarize narrative signals separately — they don't move the DSMS number.
Hiring manager scorecards
Collected via magic-link review, surfaced on the candidate card — parallel to DSMS, not blended in.
🔄
Past placement outcomes
A candidate previously rejected by this business unit is not downscored. No learning loop in v3.
📍
Geographic distance
Remote preference is captured in Availability, but no km/mi distance penalty exists today.
25
Core Skills
Foundational technical skills the role requires — programming languages, frameworks, paradigms. The highest-weight dimension.
22
Specific Skills
Domain-specific tools, platforms, and specializations beyond core language — cloud providers, ORMs, testing frameworks, etc.
20
Industry Experience
How many of the role's listed industries appear in the candidate's history. Proportional — no binary pass/fail.
18
Apps & Software
Proficiency with the software stack the team uses day-to-day — editors, project tools, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring platforms.
10
Salary
How close the candidate's expected compensation is to the role's budget. Small overages are tiered, not a hard cutoff.
5
Availability
Whether the candidate's work-location preference is compatible with what the role requires: office, remote, or hybrid.

These are system default weights — every hiring manager can adjust them per job posting. The system recalculates scores in real time.
