Hiring teams face a brutal reality: great candidates are out there, but finding them inside a large, noisy pipeline takes time that most companies don’t have. Recruiters often spend hours reviewing resumes that look promising on the surface but don’t actually meet the role’s requirements.
Engineering roles demand specific stacks and frameworks. Fintech and regulated industries need proven compliance experience. Global hiring adds layers like timezone overlap, relocation readiness, and English proficiency.
The result is wasted hours, inconsistent evaluations, and slow time to hire.
Vanna AI Matching was built to fix exactly that.
Vanna reads, analyzes, and ranks candidates with the same nuance a senior recruiter brings but at machine speed. It doesn’t just match keywords. It understands context, evaluates depth of experience, and explains exactly why a candidate is or isn’t a good fit.
What is Vanna AI Matching?
Vanna AI analyzes each candidate in your pipeline against your job requirements and produces a complete, transparent match evaluation that includes:
- Matching score (0–100 percent): A clear numerical signal of overall fit.
- Job fit summary: A concise explanation of how the candidate aligns with your specific needs.
- Positive points: Strengths, exceeded requirements, relevant achievements.
- Negative points: Gaps, risks, or missing skills that could impact performance.
- Skills analysis: A breakdown of required vs present skills, years of experience, and red flags.
This isn’t a generic AI summarization. Vanna’s matching output highlights the exact reasoning behind the score: ex. “10 years of .NET experience, exceeding requirement,” or “No evidence of AWS exposure,” giving your team the context they need to act quickly.
In the screenshot above, Vanna highlights:
- Strengths like exceeding .NET/C# experience requirements
- Relevant industry background such as fintech or regulated environments
- Skill proficiency backed by years of practice
- Gaps such as missing AWS or Python experience
- Communication concerns or domain-specific gaps clearly noted
This helps your hiring team make smart, fast decisions without needing to dig through every line of a resume.
Real Hiring Challenges Vanna Solves
Most companies struggle with four major bottlenecks during technical hiring:
- Too many applicants, too little screening time
Even for niche roles, pipelines grow fast. Recruiters skim resumes and miss strong fits buried in the middle of the list. Reviews become inconsistent because every recruiter interprets requirements differently. - Skills don’t always translate cleanly
Candidates list tools, frameworks, and job titles, but depth of experience is unclear. Did they use React or maintain it? Did they just touch AWS or architect services?
Vanna breaks down skills by relevance and years of experience so hiring managers immediately understand what’s real and what isn’t. - Global hiring adds complexity
Timezone overlap, relocation constraints, and English level directly affect performance. This information is rarely structured in resumes, and recruiters have to infer or manually check it.
Vanna incorporates this automatically when generating a match. - Highly specific requirements are hard to evaluate consistently
If your role demands fintech experience, regulated environments, or specific integration knowledge (ex. accounting systems), keyword search alone isn’t enough. Vanna looks for contextual fit and highlights what’s missing.
- Too many applicants, too little screening time
Customizable Matching Criteria
Every job has a unique signature. A backend role for a fintech startup is not evaluated the same way as a frontend role for a consumer app. Vanna respects that.
You can customize the matching logic for each role using a per-job prompt. This lets you:
- Emphasize must-have technical skills
- Require domain experience (fintech, healthtech, SaaS, compliance-heavy environments)
- Set preferences for timezone, location, or relocation readiness
- Prioritize communication level or cultural fit factors
- Clarify what qualifies as a blocker vs a nice-to-have
Once updated, Vanna instantly recalculates all candidate scores, bringing the best matches to the top of your pipeline without manual work.
How It Works
- Login into your Vanhack account. If you still don’t have one, you can create an account for free, post jobs and find candidates.
- Open the Matching settings in your Interview Pipeline.
- Edit your custom prompt to reflect what truly matters for the role.
- Vanna automatically analyzes every candidate’s resume, skills, past experience, location, timezone, English level, and achievements.
- You get immediate scores plus transparent explanations for each candidate.
No more blind screening. No more guessing why a candidate appears at the top or bottom.
Note: The AI matching feature will be visible only if you have a job posted.
Why This Matters
Saves significant recruiter and hiring manager hours
Instead of reading 200 resumes, your team can focus on the 10 that are genuinely strong fits. Companies using AI matching reduce initial screening time by 60 to 80 percent.
Reduces human bias
Vanna evaluates every candidate using the same criteria, reducing subjective interpretation while improving the fairness of your process.
Improves match quality
Vanna goes far beyond keyword scanning. It understands depth of experience, evaluates context, and highlights specific risks or gaps. This means fewer false positives and stronger shortlisting accuracy.
Accelerates hiring
When you immediately know which candidates are high-quality, teams move to interviews faster and avoid pipeline stagnation.
Transparent and explainable
Every score comes with reasoning. No black-box AI decisions. Just clear, structured insights your team can trust.
