How Roster ranks candidates

What Roster reads, and how it decides who rises to the top.

Roster ranks by the work someone has actually done, not the words in their title.

What it reads

  • Your ATS and past applicants
  • Portfolios and case studies
  • Shipped products and open-source work
  • Public work history, writing, and talks

How matches are scored

Every candidate gets a verdict (Strong, Good, or Weak match) based on how their work lines up with your must-haves. Roster shows the evidence behind each verdict so you can check its work.

On any job you can switch between a plain title search and Roster’s ranking to see exactly who the keyword version misses.
