A CV in Portuguese.
A job description
in German.
One score.
MatchCandidats measures a CV against a job description across languages and national qualification systems — and shows the equivalence it used.
read it, then judge us
Whether you are applying abroad or hiring across a border, the score is read the same way on both sides of the table.
the problem
Sixty CVs arrive. Fifteen get read properly.
A recruiter skims, then cannot explain the decision afterwards. A candidate sends the same CV to 40 job descriptions and never learns which one they were close on. Add a border and it collapses.

reading 60 CV by hand
- A keyword filter rewards CV formatting, and only in one language.
- A German Meister, a French BTS and a Brazilian tecnólogo read as three unrelated things.
- A chat window gives a fluent paragraph, and a different answer next time.
- Four readings of four CVs that cannot be compared with each other.

the mapping comes first
the artefact
This is what comes out.
A Portuguese CV against a French-language job description in Geneva. Sober register: no illustration, no decoration, nothing in a report that is not measurement.

The gap is the pressure equipment certification. Obtain one, or say in the CV which one you hold.
The same two documents, through the engine, in about 40 seconds. It does not use your free analysis.
These are the real figures for this pair, from our engine. Your own two documents produce your own score.
this is the whole point
one engine, two doors
The score is a shared currency, not a secret.
A candidate scores 1 CV against 1 job description. A recruiter drops up to 50 CV against one opening and gets a ranked shortlist. Both run the same engine, so the number means the same thing across the table.
candidate
Know before sending whether you are a serious candidate, and what to fix first.
recruiter

what we refuse
Sixty applications are sixty people.
These are not promises about tone. They are constraints on what a match report is allowed to say.
no score without its evidence
Every state on every row carries the line of the CV that produced it. If the evidence cannot be quoted, the report fails rather than guess.
uncertainty is said out loud
A cross-country equivalence carries its confidence beside it. A shaky mapping is labelled shaky, in the same breath as the number.
distance to a job, never the worth of a person
The report states what the job description asks for and what the CV does not show. It never grades the human holding the CV.
nothing is scored that is not a requirement
Not age, not origin, not gender, not a photo, not a name. The tool measures. A person decides.
what it costs
Prepaid packs. No subscription to cancel.
One analysis is one CV scored against one job description. A batch of 30 CV spends 30 analyses.
Analyses never expire. The first analysis is free. That is EUR 1.67 an analysis in Starter 3, EUR 1.45 in Pack 20, EUR 0.45 in Cabinet.

German Meister in France
DQR 6, the same level as a bachelor — and still not a degree.
French BTS in Germany and the UK
Level 5, one below a bachelor — and not a Meister.
Brazilian tecnólogo in Europe
Higher education in Brazil, no European level at all.
Portuguese licenciatura abroad
Level 6 after Bologna — before Bologna, contested.
UK HND in Europe
Level 5, and the top-up year is what makes it 6.
Swiss titles in Germany and France
Fachausweis 5, HF 6 — and the federal diploma is also 6.
Nursing diploma in Switzerland and Germany
Regulated on both sides: a body decides, not the employer.
Welder or electrician in Germany
Not a regulated profession: the employer may hire on skill.
Brazilian engineer in Portugal and Germany
One reciprocity route, and one protected title.
Instandhaltungsleiter in France
Maintenance department head — and not a diploma at all.
Meister in English
Never Master. The word costs candidates interviews both ways.
Conducteur de travaux abroad
Bauleiter in German. In English, not site manager.
Maintenance manager in Switzerland
A federal diploma in Bern, a job label in Stuttgart.
Two documents, two languages.
