The fit percent displays at the top of the page, followed by a spider graph comparing the position's skills and competencies' requirements with the candidate's qualification. Click Graph to view the same information as a bar or pie graph. Scroll down to view a list of the position's essential or essential and non-essential qualifications included in the percent fit calculation. For each included qualification, the system displays a red alert with the comment "No Match" or a green alert with the comment "Match". The percent fit is derived by dividing the number of qualifications that match by the total number of qualifications included in the calculations.

Note:
The settings on the HR organization's Percent Fit Organization tab determine the qualification types that are included in the calculations.
