Can you change weightage for primary secondary and tertiary skills?

Yes, you can change the weightage for primary, secondary, and tertiary skills in RChilli's system, specifically when using the Search & Match API. Here’s how it works in detail:

Customizable Scoring/Weightage in Search & Match

RChilli’s Search & Match Engine 3.0 includes a flexible scoring logic that allows you to prioritize different candidate/job attributes—including skills—by assigning custom weights.

Two Modes of Scoring:

1. Default Logic (Baseline)

   • Comes with predefined, system-based weights for attributes like skills, location, education, and domain.

   • Ideal for users who want an out-of-the-box setup.

2. Configurable Logic (Customized Weights)

   • Lets users manually adjust the weightage assigned to different attributes.

   • You can prioritize skills over other factors like location or education by setting, for example, 60% weight to skills and 10% to location.

The ability to fine-tune weightage allows you to treat primary, secondary, and tertiary skills with varying importance—helping in more relevant and customized candidate-job matching.

Where to Configure the Weightage

• These settings are typically available via the front-end configuration panel of the system integrated with RChilli.

• When weightages are changed on the front end, they dynamically affect the scoring results returned via the API—without altering the backend logic.

Practical Use Cases

• Emphasize critical skills (primary) during search/match scoring.

• Deprioritize secondary/tertiary skills if they’re less relevant for the role.

• Adjust scoring dynamically for different job roles or recruitment strategies.

Final Notes

• If you're unsure where to apply the weightage settings in your platform, or if you’re building a custom integration, contact support@rchilli.com for implementation help.

• The customization helps you align the candidate scoring model with your business priorities and role-specific criteria.
