Understanding the Overall Score
What It Represents
A weighted average of all six agent scores, showing overall candidate-job fit.
Score Interpretation
- 85-100: Exceptional candidate, strong match
- 70-84: Good candidate, worth interviewing
- 55-69: Moderate fit, proceed with caution
- Below 55: Poor fit, likely not suitable
Important: Don't make decisions on overall score alone—dig into agent details.
When Scores Mislead
High overall, one low agent: Candidate may have a specific weakness that matters for your role.
Moderate overall, high variance: Agents disagree significantly—requires human judgment.
Perfect 100 score: Very rare; scrutinize for potential over-fitting or missing data.

Pro Tip
Read Devil's Advocate first: This agent identifies concerns others might miss. If Devil's Advocate finds no major issues, that's a strong signal. If concerns are raised, investigate before proceeding.
