What Is 6-Dimension Scoring?

6-dimension scoring is Keelzo's AI-powered candidate evaluation framework that scores every applicant across six weighted dimensions rather than matching keywords. Each dimension reflects a distinct signal of candidate fit: technical skills, career depth, seniority level, industry relevance, educational background, and career stability.

Unlike keyword matching, which rewards resume optimisation over genuine experience, 6-dimension scoring uses semantic AI to understand what a candidate has actually done, at what level, and how relevant it is to your specific role.

The 6 Dimensions Explained

Each dimension is scored separately and contributes to a 0–100 total fit score:

  • Skills (/35): Semantic matching of the candidate's technical and functional skills against your role requirements. Understands synonyms, adjacent skills, and skill depth.
  • Experience (/25): Depth and relevance of past roles. Evaluates years in relevant positions, scope of responsibilities, and industry context, not just job title.
  • Seniority (/15): Actual seniority signals beyond job title: team sizes managed, ownership level, decision-making authority mentioned in experience descriptions.
  • Industry (/10): Relevance of the candidate's industry background to your role. A fintech-experienced engineer scores higher for a payments role than one from gaming.
  • Education (/10): Credentials matched to role requirements. Relevant degrees and certifications weighted against the role's stated educational requirements.
  • Career Stability (/5): Tenure patterns that predict retention. Average time per role, frequency of transitions, and career trajectory signals.

Explainable Scores

Every candidate's score comes with a plain English breakdown. For example, 'Strong on Skills (28/35) and Industry (9/10), moderate on Seniority (10/15).' No black boxes.

Semantic AI, Not Keywords

The AI understands meaning, meaning that 'Led payment infrastructure at Razorpay' matches 'fintech backend engineer' without exact keyword overlap.

Role-Specific Weighting

Weights adjust automatically based on your job requirements. A senior management role increases the Seniority weight. A technical role increases Skills.

Works Across Your Entire History

6-dimension scoring applies to every candidate, including new inbound applications and past candidates surfaced through rediscovery, on the same consistent scale.

Bias Reduced by Design

Scoring inputs are professional signals only. No name, photo, gender, or age data influences the score.

The Problem with Keyword Search

  • Standard ATS keyword searches miss 40% of qualified candidates who use different synonyms.
  • Keyword matching creates 'resume stuffing' where candidates paste invisible text to rank higher.
  • A 0/100 keyword score doesn't explain why a candidate failed, leaving recruiters guessing.
  • Recruiters spend 23 hours a week manually reviewing resumes that passed flawed keyword filters.

Who Benefits from 6-Dimension Scoring

Recruiters handling 200+ applications per role who need ranked shortlists
Hiring managers who want to understand why a candidate was surfaced, not just that they were
Teams building diverse pipelines who need bias reduced screening criteria
Agencies placing candidates who need consistent scoring across multiple job families

Why 6-Dimension AI Scoring is Better

Keelzo moves beyond binary keyword matching into semantic understanding.

  • Semantic Understanding: AI comprehends context, synonyms, and adjacent skills.
  • Explainable Results: Every score is accompanied by a plain language explanation.
  • Dynamic Weighting: The 6 dimensions automatically adjust based on the seniority of the role.
  • Consistent Evaluation: Every candidate is scored on the exact same rubrics, reducing bias.

Measurable Impact of AI Scoring

  • Eliminate 90% of manual resume screening time
  • Identify strong candidates who didn't keyword optimise their resumes
  • Provide hiring managers with objective, explainable data for every shortlist
  • Reduce unconscious bias by standardising the evaluation dimensions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about 6-dimension ai scoring | keelzo resume scoring system.

Keelzo's AI extracts structured information from each resume using NLP, then scores the candidate across 6 dimensions: Skills (/35), Experience (/25), Seniority (/15), Industry (/10), Education (/10), and Career Stability (/5). Scores are generated semantically by understanding context and meaning, rather than by keyword count.
Harder than keyword systems. Skills scores depend on semantic understanding of what the candidate has actually done, not just keyword presence. Experience and Seniority scores depend on career trajectory signals that can't be easily inflated. AI writing assistance polishes text but can't fabricate 5 years of verifiable experience.
Yes. The 6 dimensions are role agnostic. For a sales role, Skills captures CRM, territory management, and closing experience. For a finance role, it captures accounting frameworks, tools, and financial modelling. The AI adapts to whatever your job description specifies.
