What are the Candidate Highscores?
A monthly race for job seekers. Every application scores points, and the top 10 each month send in gold: framed in gold and first in every employer’s inbox until it is opened.
How points work
- +10 for each application, up to 8 a day.
- +5 for a note or answers to the employer’s questions, and +5 for applying within a day of the listing going up.
- +2 when the employer opens your application, +25 when you are shortlisted, +50 when you are invited to an interview.
- +10 for answering an employer within a day.
- +30 for the identity check, once a season.
Ways into gold
- Sit in this month’s top 10: everything you send goes out in gold.
- Finish a season in the top 10: a Gold Pass makes all of next month’s applications gold.
- Gold Tickets: one for every 5 applications this season and one for a 7-day streak, up to 3. Unused tickets expire when the season ends.
Fair play
Applying twice to the same listing scores once, a withdrawn application leaves your score, and one employer’s actions score on at most two of your applications a month. The board shows only your first name and your photo if you added one, and you can hide yourself at any time.
