Is it possible to change the document match score?

Yes, it is possible to change the document match score in RChilli's Search & Match system.

Here’s how it works:

Default vs. Custom Match Scoring in RChilli

RChilli uses a two-tiered scoring system in its Search & Match Engine 3.0:

1. Default Logic (Baseline Scoring)

• The engine applies predefined weights to various fields such as:

  • Skills

  • Location

  • Education

  • Domain, etc.

• This is automatic and ideal for out-of-the-box usage where no customization is required.

2. Configurable Logic (Custom Weights)

• You can manually adjust the scoring weights from the frontend to match your business needs.

• For example, you can assign:

  • 60% weight to “Skills”

  • 20% to “Location”

  • 10% to “Education”

• These changes dynamically influence the match score returned by the API.

• The backend scoring engine logic remains the same, but the output score adjusts based on your priorities.

Where to Make These Changes

• Adjustments can be made from the RChilli My Account portal.

• The frontend interface allows dynamic weight assignment, ensuring real-time control over search precision.

Why Adjust the Match Score?

• Align with hiring priorities: Emphasize skills, education, or other fields.

• Improve result relevancy: Customize for niche job profiles or regional preferences.

• Boost accuracy: Focus scoring logic based on high-value attributes for better-fit recommendations.

Summary

Yes, the document match score can be changed in RChilli by adjusting the scoring weightage through the frontend. These changes are applied dynamically at the time of search, allowing for a more tailored candidate-job match experience.
