What Is Alva's Role Fit Score?
Throughout the recruitment process, each candidate is assessed in several ways - a logic and personality test, interviews, coding tests, or case exercises. Alva's Role Fit score combines that data into one, unbiased basis for a decision.
đĄNote: The Role Fit score is calculated by combining the score of each assessment method with its respective importance level.
How to interpret Role Fit
The Role Fit score ranges from 1% to 99%, with 99% representing the best possible fit for the job.
Role Fit can be thought of as the level of confidence in how well a candidate fits the profile you are seeking.
A candidate with a 90% Role Fit has consistently performed well throughout the process. Based on the collected data, we have a high degree of confidence that they will perform well on the job.
A candidate with a 60% Role Fit at the end of a hiring process is only a bit above a 50/50 chance to perform well in the role. As such we are much less confident about the potential outcomes for this individual.
A candidate with less than 50% Role Fit indicates a high degree of uncertainty in how well they would perform.
Role fit is not calculated as a linear scale. Instead, the score is calculated using a curve, like the one below.
If every assessment scored 50%, the Role fit would also land at 50%. Scores that lean higher pull the Role fit up quickly - and lower scores pull it down just as fast.
What Is a Good Role Fit?
A general rule-of-thumb is that 75% and above is considered a good Role Fit.
This threshold can shift depending on the role - for a particularly sensitive position, aim higher, closer to 80-90%.
