The Key Fit Signals feature uses recruitRyte’s AI to evaluate large volumes of candidates against complex, customized criteria. Instead of manually reviewing hundreds or thousands of resumes, you can ask the AI specific questions and automatically surface the strongest matches.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n \n<\/div>\n
\n

1. Setting Your Key Fit Signals<\/h4>\n

Use the Key Fit Signals panel to define the precise requirements you want the AI to evaluate against your candidate pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Section<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\nAction<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Overall Matching<\/strong><\/td>\nFilter candidates by their overall match score: Best Fit, Good, Moderate, or Not Good.<\/td>\nCheck or uncheck categories to show\/hide candidates at each match level.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Signal Cards<\/strong><\/td>\nEach signal displays a title, description, priority badge (Must-have), and filter options.<\/td>\nUse the filter checkboxes (Yes, Maybe, No) to control which candidates appear based on each signal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Add Signal Details<\/strong><\/td>\nInput field to create a new signal using natural language (e.g., “Has experience with Python”).<\/td>\nEnter your criteria, select Must-have or Nice-to-have, then click the checkmark to add.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Add New Signal<\/strong><\/td>\nButton to add additional screening criteria not captured by the AI interpretation.<\/td>\nClick to expand the input field and define custom signals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Save Changes<\/strong><\/td>\nSaves your signal configuration and re-runs the AI screening process.<\/td>\nClick after adding, editing, or removing signals to update your results.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/section>\n
\n

Understanding Signal Filters<\/h4>\n

Each signal card includes filter options that let you control which candidates appear in your results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Filter Option<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\nWhen to Use<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Yes<\/strong><\/td>\nCandidate clearly matches this signal criteria<\/td>\nCheck to include candidates who definitely have this qualification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Maybe<\/strong><\/td>\nCandidate might match based on available information<\/td>\nCheck to include candidates with potential matches worth reviewing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
No<\/strong><\/td>\nCandidate does not match this signal criteria<\/td>\nCheck to include candidates who don’t have this qualification (useful for Nice-to-have signals)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n

Tip:<\/strong> For Must-have signals, typically only check “Yes” to ensure all candidates meet essential requirements. For Nice-to-have signals, check all three to see the full pool while still using the signal for ranking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Managing Your Signals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Action<\/th>\nHow To<\/th>\nWhen to Use<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Edit Signal<\/strong><\/td>\nClick the pencil icon next to the signal<\/td>\nModify the signal description or criteria<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Delete Signal<\/strong><\/td>\nClick the trash icon next to the signal<\/td>\nRemove signals that aren’t relevant to your search<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Change Priority<\/strong><\/td>\nEdit the signal and select Must-have or Nice-to-have<\/td>\nAdjust how strictly the signal filters candidates<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Adjust Filters<\/strong><\/td>\nCheck\/uncheck Yes, Maybe, No for each signal<\/td>\nFine-tune which candidates appear based on signal matches<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/section>\n
\n

2. Key Fit Signals Result Screen<\/h4>\n

Once screening completes, the results appear in a structured, decision-ready format.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Section<\/th>\nDescription<\/th>\nAction<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Left Panel (Signal Controls)<\/strong><\/td>\nShows your signal configuration with Overall Matching filter and individual signal cards with Yes\/Maybe\/No filters.<\/td>\nAdjust filters to dynamically update the candidate list in real-time.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Right Panel (Candidate List)<\/strong><\/td>\nDisplays candidates with columns for Name, Location, Match score, and individual signal results (Yes\/No for each signal).<\/td>\nQuickly understand why a candidate passed or failed each criterion.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Match Column<\/strong><\/td>\nShows the overall match score for each candidate (Best Fit, Good, Moderate, Not Good).<\/td>\nSort or filter by match score to focus on top candidates.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Signal Columns<\/strong><\/td>\nEach signal has its own column showing Yes or No for each candidate.<\/td>\nSee at a glance which candidates meet specific criteria.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Candidate Count<\/strong><\/td>\nShows total candidates matching current filters (e.g., 990 candidates).<\/td>\nMonitor how filter changes affect your pool size.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Shortlist and Action<\/strong><\/td>\nSelect candidates to shortlist or add to My List<\/strong>.<\/td>\nStreamline your focus to only the strongest matches.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/section>\n
\n

Navigation Tabs<\/h4>\n

The result screen includes multiple tabs to help you work with your search results:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Chat<\/strong> \u2013 Refine your search using natural language conversation<\/li>\n
  • Filters<\/strong> \u2013 Apply additional filters to narrow results<\/li>\n
  • Key Fit Signals<\/strong> \u2013 Configure and adjust your screening signals<\/li>\n
  • Analytics<\/strong> \u2013 View insights and statistics about your candidate pool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n
    \n

    Best Practices<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Start with essential signals<\/strong> \u2013 Begin with 2-3 Must-have signals for core requirements<\/li>\n
    2. Use Yes filter for Must-haves<\/strong> \u2013 Only check “Yes” for essential qualifications to ensure quality<\/li>\n
    3. Include Maybe for Nice-to-haves<\/strong> \u2013 Check both Yes and Maybe for preferred qualifications<\/li>\n
    4. Review signal columns<\/strong> \u2013 Use the detailed signal columns to understand each candidate’s strengths<\/li>\n
    5. Iterate and refine<\/strong> \u2013 Add or adjust signals based on initial results to improve matching<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
