How it differs from a job board
On job boards, candidates hunt for ads and you read through the applications. PairSkill puts both sides on the same skill scale, so people get matched to roles without applying.
How it works
Candidates and employers describe skills on the same five-level scale, so profiles and roles compare directly.
For employers
Describe the work, get a ranked shortlist
- 1Pick the skills the role needs and the minimum level for each.
- 2Mark must-haves, weight what matters, and choose how many candidates you want to see.
- 3Review candidates ranked by fit, with a per-skill breakdown, and contact the ones you like.
For talent
Build a profile from your skills
- 1Pick your field and the skills you actually use.
- 2Rate each on a clear five-level scale and add industry experience.
- 3Take short checks to verify skills, then see roles ranked by fit.
Choose how many candidates you want to see
Set a goal for each role and switch any time. The ranking stays the same; only how much of it you see changes.

Office jobs and hands-on work
Whether it's a forklift licence or a React portfolio, candidates are matched on what they can actually do.
White collar
Professional and knowledge work, matched on proven skill levels, tools and industry depth instead of job titles.
Blue collar
Hands-on work is hard to hire for on CVs alone. Licences, machines operated and verified skill levels make trades, drivers, operators and crews easy to compare.

Common questions
How is the match score calculated?
75% skill fit (your level against the required level, weighted by importance), 15% industry experience and 10% practicalities like start date, contract type and work mode. Candidates who miss a must-have by more than one level aren't ranked for that role.
What's the difference between "Selected matches only" and "All relevant, ranked"?
Both use the same ranking. Selected matches only shows you just the top 3, 5 or 10 candidates scoring 70+. All relevant shows everyone who meets your must-haves, best first. You can switch per role at any time.
Can candidates just overrate themselves?
Self-rated skills count at 85%. Short knowledge checks mark a skill as assessed so it counts fully, and employers can endorse skills they've seen in real work. You always see which is which.
Is an AI deciding who gets hired?
No. The score is a transparent formula over skills, industry years and stated preferences. It orders candidates; it never rejects anyone. A person makes every decision.
Do candidates still need a CV?
No. The skill profile replaces it. Candidates can still add portfolio items if they want to show their work.
Which languages and locations are supported?
English and Hungarian today. Roles can be remote, hybrid or on-site, anywhere.
