How CasualHire's AI matching actually works — behind the scenes

5 min read·29 July 2025

What happens when you click "Find Matching Candidates" or "Find My Matching Jobs"? Here's the full picture.

AI matching is one of the most distinctive features of CasualHire. Here's a plain-English explanation of what happens behind the scenes.

What information does the AI read? For employer matching: your complete job description including required skills, experience level, shifts and pay range, the job location, and every candidate profile within 50km. For candidate matching: your complete profile matched against open jobs within 50km.

How is the match score calculated? Skills match (35%) — Does the candidate have the specific skills the job requires? Location and distance (20%) — Closer candidates score higher. Experience level (20%) — Does the candidate's experience match requirements? Availability (15%) — Do the candidate's available shifts match the job's shifts? Pay compatibility (10%) — Is the job's pay rate above the candidate's minimum?

Why you won't see matches under 50% CasualHire filters out any match below 50%. A 45% match might mean the candidate has the right location but entirely wrong skills. Showing those results would waste everyone's time.

What the AI explains Each result includes a natural language explanation: "Strong match — your RSA certification and 4 years of bar experience align well with this role. Located 3.2km away, paying $35-42/hr which meets your minimum rate."
