Match scores indicate person-job fit. They determine how likely a Candidate is to perform the behavior defined in the lens. The same Candidate will have different match scores for different lenses, because a person will not be equally suited for all different jobs. For the same job, different Candidates will have different Match scores, since not all are equally suited for the job, given their personality and General Mental Ability.
A Match score is based on the potential of a Candidate and the selected lens. For any given lens, the match score is calculated by taking the competency scores of the candidate for the competencies that are in the lens, taking into account their respective weights. All this is visible in the lens information.
Match scores range from 0 -100. The higher the Match score, the better the person-job fit.
