Reviewing applicants and match scores
Where applications land, what the match score means, and how the pipeline works.
When talent applies to one of your roles, Migbirds does the first pass for you: every applicant arrives with a transparent match score you can drill into.
Where applicants appear
Each role has an Applicants tab listing everyone who applied, ranked by fit. Recruiters and admins are also notified in-app and by email when a new application arrives.
How the match score works
The combined percentage blends two axes:
- Technical — the candidate's environments, domains, and competencies compared to what the role requires.
- Behavioral — the candidate's assessment results compared to the behavioral demands of the role.
A verdict label (from low to excellent) summarizes the level at a glance, so you can triage quickly without over-reading small differences in percentages.
The match detail view
Click any applicant to open the full breakdown:
- Executive summary — verdict, both sub-scores, and the key strengths and considerations.
- Technical skills — requirement-by-requirement comparison with gaps and strengths flagged.
- Behavioral dynamics — soft skills, adaptability, irritants, and group dynamics, each with the role's expected position overlaid.
- AI insights — an optional short narrative that synthesizes the technical and behavioral signals into plain language.
The pipeline
The Pipeline tab is a drag-and-drop board for moving applicants through stages: applied, shortlisted, interviewing, offered, and finally hired, rejected, or withdrawn. You can pin a team note to each candidate, and every stage change is recorded in a history timeline, so the whole team sees the same state.
