A match on paper doesn't mean a match in reality.

Most ATS systems and recruiters rely on skill-based matching: keywords, years of experience, job titles, and certifications. It looks like a fit on the surface. But people are more complex than bullet points. And so are roles.

Traditional Matching

Looks like a perfect fit

What MatchApply Reveals

The invisible, made visible

Candidate actually...
  • Structured planning
  • Avoids risk, stability
  • Sequential, perfectionist
  • Needs guidance
But the job needs...
  • Rapid iteration
  • Bold risk-taking
  • Experimental, fast failure
  • Autonomous work
32% fit. Frustration, underperformance, early exit.

Traditional matching would have hired this candidate. MatchApply's PAVE analysis reveals the working-style mismatch before it becomes a €30k to €140k mistake, and finds someone who scores a 91% fit instead.

Built for everyone involved in the match

Whether you're exploring your next role or building a team, MatchApply gives you the clarity to decide with confidence.

For Candidates

Finally be seen for who you really are

Not just your last job title. See a transparent match score across personality, work style, values, and environment before investing time in interviews. Discover your complete PAVE profile and understand exactly where you align.

For Recruiters

Stop guessing. Stop relying on gut feel.

See the complete person from every angle before you make the offer. Replace subjective impressions with objective, dimension-by-dimension matching scores that strengthen your recommendations to hiring managers.

For HR Leaders

Make hiring a strategic advantage

Build teams that actually work together. Reduce turnover with systematic cultural and working-style assessment. Save €30k to €140k per prevented bad hire. Turn your hiring process from a gamble into a data-driven strategy.

For Hiring Managers

Understand fit before day one

See not just if someone can do the job, but if they'll thrive in it. Understand how a new hire will interact with your existing team dynamics, leadership style, and company culture with precision, not hope.

Four perspectives. 48 dimensions.
One complete picture.

Like viewing a diamond from every angle, PAVE reveals what traditional matching completely misses. It's the humanized matching engine at the heart of MatchApply.
