Which of these 412 is worth a call?
Ranked against this brief, with the working shown.
Kandidate scores every candidate against the requirements you set for this role, then writes out its reasoning: which requirement each person meets, which they miss, and what you'd be trading. You tune it by answering questions about the job, never by editing weights.
What is the score actually measuring?
The requirements you set for this role, weighted by how you answered a short set of questions about it. Is cardiac experience a must or a nice-to-have? Does distance beat seniority? Is a lapsed licence a hard stop? It is not a general employability rating, and it doesn't pretend to be one.
Can I see why someone scored what they scored?
Every candidate carries a scorecard: requirement by requirement, met or missed, with the evidence from their history. That's the artifact you forward to a hiring manager, and it's what turns "the AI liked them" into an argument you can defend.
Cardiac OR: met (6 yrs, Sutter). Distance: met (18 mi). Day shift preference: unknown, ask on the call. Licence: active, verified at source.
Does it decide who I reject?
No. It ranks and it explains; you decide. The ordering is a starting point you can override, and nothing is rejected on your behalf. The design rule throughout Kandidate is to automate the collection of evidence, never the judgement.

How do I know it's not just keyword matching?
Because it scores against what the requirement means, not the words it was written in. A candidate whose history says "cardiothoracic theatre" matches a brief that says "cardiac OR". The scorecard shows you which evidence it used, so you can check its reasoning rather than trust it.
Can I change the criteria after a run?
Yes. Adjust the answers and re-rank; the pool doesn't need re-sourcing.
Does the score go back to my ATS?
Yes. Scorecards sync to the ATS of record so the evidence lives where your team already works.
Does it read CVs as well as sourced profiles?
Yes. Uploaded CVs are parsed into the same structure and scored on the same bar, so applicants and sourced candidates are comparable.
What is the openness signal?
An estimate of how likely a candidate is to move right now, based on tenure and role-change patterns. It sits beside the score rather than inside it, because willingness and suitability are different questions.
