How Savary works
How Savary scores every match.
Every match score you’ll see is the output of one formula — the same formula, every time, for every member. No hidden ranking, no pay-to-rank, no black box. Here’s exactly what’s in it.
The weighted formula
Six factors, weighted and added together, capped at 100%:
Whether the role’s actual occupation matches your selected career direction — not keyword overlap. A role in a genuinely different occupational family scores zero here, regardless of how similar the job title reads.
How closely this specific job title matches the roles you’ve told Savary you’re targeting.
How much the job description overlaps with the strengths and achievements you’ve approved in Career Brain.
Full credit for a preferred location or remote when you’ve asked for remote; partial credit otherwise.
Full credit when the advertised maximum meets your stated minimum. A listing with no salary published scores low here — not zero, since many genuine roles simply don’t state one.
Recently posted roles score higher, tapering the older a listing gets — one signal of real, current hiring intent, not the whole picture.
A worked example
Say you’re targeting “Senior Product Manager” roles, based in London or open to remote, with a £70,000 minimum. A listing for that exact title, doing that kind of work, based in London, paying £75,000–£90,000, posted three days ago, with a description that closely echoes the achievements you’ve approved, would score something like:
Rules that come before the score
A high score doesn’t mean a role reaches you as eligible. Before scoring even matters, Savary checks a short list of hard rules you control:
- Occupational match — a role outside your selected career direction is excluded outright, not just scored low.
- Agency exclusion — if you’ve asked Savary to skip recruitment agencies, agency-sourced listings are removed.
- Salary floor — if you require a stated salary, roles with none published are excluded; roles below your minimum are excluded.
- Minimum match threshold — you set the score below which a role is paused for your own review rather than surfaced as ready to prepare.
Every exclusion is shown to you with the exact reason — never a silent filter.
Listing risk signals
Beyond fit, Savary also flags patterns common in low-quality or ghost listings — an undisclosed salary when you’ve required one, unusually short or templated descriptions reused across employers, a stale posting still showing as current, or an application link that doesn’t obviously relate to the employer. This is pattern-matching, not a guarantee — real listings sometimes trip these flags, and real scams sometimes don’t. It’s a caution shown alongside a listing, never a silent filter that removes it.
