How AI Build engineered Job Matches
The architecture, safeguards and workflow decisions behind our UK CV-led matching platform.
Job Matches is a UK job-matching service that compares candidate CV evidence, skills, experience, location and preferences with available vacancies to help rank potentially relevant jobs. Matching UK vacancies to a candidate CV is the core product. Ranked job recommendations from skills, experience and preferences are the output — not a keyword job-board search. Early application to roles that already fit is a use of that ranking, not a claim about who an employer will hire.
Job Matches was developed by AI Build Group as a production UK job-matching platform. The system combines CV-derived career profiles, candidate preferences, vacancy discovery, relevance ranking and tailored application documents while keeping the candidate in control of the final application.
Why does the architecture matter?
Job matching handles personal career data and influences important decisions. We therefore separate candidate matching from employer access, keep employer discovery permission-led, and treat match scores as recommendation signals rather than employment decisions.
How was Job Matches developed?
AI Build productised a repeatable job-search workflow into a multi-user service. Candidate profiles, search criteria, vacancy collection, ranking and document preparation are distinct parts of the workflow so each can be tested and improved without turning the entire process into one opaque AI prompt.
Where can I read the engineering case study?
AI Build has published the wider architecture and lessons from the project in Job Matches Architecture: Lessons Learned, alongside its broader AI consulting work.
Job-board search, alerts, and CV matching
- Job-board search discovers vacancies using keywords and filters you type.
- A job alert notifies you when new listings match those same criteria.
- CV matching compares evidence on a CV with vacancy requirements.
- Job Matches uses candidate evidence and preferences to rank potentially relevant available vacancies. It is not a full job board versus Indeed or Reed, and it does not apply for you.
