AI Matching Agent

Find the best-fit candidates in seconds

3 min readUpdated Nov 1, 2026

The AI Matching (Resume Matching) Agent is the first thing that runs when a candidate enters your hiring pipeline. It reads their resume, scores it against your job requirements, and helps you quickly figure out who's worth moving forward — without you having to read every application manually.

What this agent does

  • Activates automatically once your hiring workflow is live
  • Runs as the first step in the pipeline, before prescreening or interviews
  • Scores each resume against your job description
  • Does not contact candidates — it's purely an evaluation tool

1. How AI Matching works

#

When you set up the AI Matching (Resume Matching) step in your workflow, SIA automatically generates a default matching strategy based on your job description. You don't need to define criteria from scratch — the system reads the role and builds a scoring framework for it.

Building resume matching strategy

Each strategy is presented as a table with these columns:

ColumnWhat it means
CriteriaWhat's being evaluated (e.g., skills match, experience relevance)
MeasurementHow that criteria is pulled from the resume
ScoreThe weight given to this criteria in the overall score
Scoring logicThe detailed rules used to calculate the score (expandable)

By default, you'll see Criteria, Measurement, and Score at a glance. Click on the icon on the right side of matching strategy to view the full scoring logic behind any criteria

Scoring Logic

2. Editing your strategy with AI

#

You can refine your resume matching strategy through a simple chat interface - no complex configuration needed.

Edit Strategy

Through the chat, you can:

  • Add new evaluation criteria
  • Adjust the score weighting for any criteria
  • Emphasise specific skills or experience
  • Tune the strategy for nuances specific to your role

First-time guidance from SIA

When you're setting up for the first time, Senseloaf's AI assistant, SIA may surface a few suggestions tailored to your specific role. These are derived from your job description and are meant to show you how the strategy can be refined.

Adding extra context

Add extra context

Accepted documents include:

  • Job briefs
  • Role requirement documents
  • Internal hiring notes

Supported formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT · Max file size: 10 MB per file

3. Strategy versioning

#

Every time you update the resume matching strategy, a new version is saved automatically.

Strategy Version

Here's how versioning works:

  • Each update creates a new version
  • The most recent version is always selected by default
  • Previous versions are kept for reference — you can look back at any time

This means you can iterate freely without worrying about losing your previous setup.

You can create as many versions as you like, but only the most recently generated version can be "Approved"
