AI Job Search Glossary

Plain-English definitions of AI job search and recruiting terms.

AI job matching AI fit score Auto-apply Resume tailoring ATS Semantic matching
AI job matching
Using AI to compare a resume against job listings and score how well the candidate fits each role. Jobnest AI uses AI semantic matching across live job listings.
AI fit score
A 0–100 number representing how well a candidate matches a specific job, based on AI semantic analysis of skills, experience, and preferences. Scores above 80 are strong matches; below 40 are usually not worth applying to.
Auto-apply
Automatically filling out and submitting job application forms on behalf of the user. The Jobnest AI Chrome extension auto-applies — typically turning a 10-minute form into a 60-second review.
Resume tailoring
Rewriting a resume to emphasize the experience most relevant to a specific job. Jobnest AI uses AI semantic analysis to determine what each job description weights, then re-orders and re-phrases (without fabricating) the user’s resume to match.
ATS (applicant tracking system)
Software employers use to receive and process applications.
Semantic matching
Comparing meaning rather than exact keywords, so “led engineering team” matches “engineering manager” even without identical words. Modern AI fit scoring is built on semantic matching.
