# Application fit trajectory Fit trajectory is a 0-100 score history Intervieux keeps for each individual job application, letting a candidate see how their standing on that specific application has moved rather than just a single number frozen at one point. A job-match score exists the moment a posting appears on the board. Applying and completing the real screening interview adds more to that record. Fit trajectory is where all of it lives together, attached to that one application. A candidate reviewing an application weeks later doesn't have to remember how it started; the trajectory already holds that history. ## What it is Fit trajectory tracks a score, on a 0 to 100 scale, specific to a single application over the life of that application, not a candidate's overall standing across every job they've ever applied to. It starts with the resume-vs-posting match score before an application even happens and builds from there as the application moves forward, giving a candidate a record of that one job's trajectory rather than a single static figure. Because it's scoped to one application, a strong trajectory on one job and a weaker one on another can sit side by side without either number pulling the other down. ## How it works 1. **A posting gets an initial fit score** — Job-match scoring compares a candidate's resume to the posting before anything is submitted. 2. **Applying starts the trajectory** — Once a candidate applies, that application has its own record, distinct from every other job they've applied to. 3. **The real interview adds to it** — Completing the live screening interview for that job feeds into the same application's trajectory. 4. **Score history builds over time** — Each new data point for that specific application joins the history already recorded, rather than replacing it. 5. **Review it alongside the application** — A candidate can look back at how a given application's fit score has moved from the moment it started. ## Per application, not per candidate Fit trajectory isn't a single running number that follows a candidate everywhere. Each job application on Intervieux keeps its own 0 to 100 history, so applying to five different roles produces five separate trajectories, each reflecting that specific job. ## Starts before the interview The trajectory doesn't begin only once a real interview happens. It starts with the resume-vs-posting match score generated when the job first appears as a possibility, which means an application's fit history includes the fit assessment made before a candidate even applied. ## A record, not just a snapshot Most fit indicators show a single number at a single moment. Trajectory is built to hold more than one point over time for the same application, so a candidate can see whether their standing on that specific job moved, not just what it reads right now. ## Sits alongside application tracking Fit trajectory is part of the same free job board that tracks saved jobs and applications generally. A candidate reviewing their applications sees the trajectory attached to each one, not as a separate tool disconnected from the rest of their job search. ## Reading a trajectory that dips or climbs Because the score is a history and not a single figure, a candidate can actually see the shape of it: a fit score that started moderate and climbed after a strong screening interview reads differently from one that started high and slipped. Neither on its own is the whole story, but seeing the movement is more useful than a single number frozen at whatever point someone happens to check. ## Who it's for Fit trajectory is for candidates managing more than one active application who want to see how each one is actually going rather than relying on memory. It's also useful for anyone curious whether completing a real screening interview changed their standing on a specific job compared to where the match score started, since that comparison is exactly what the trajectory is built to hold onto. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is fit trajectory the same as my overall interview score? No. Fit trajectory is a 0 to 100 score history tied to one specific job application, while interview scores cover the five dimensions of a single completed interview. ### Does every job application get its own trajectory? Yes. Each application on Intervieux keeps its own separate score history rather than sharing one running number across every job a candidate has applied to. ### When does the trajectory for an application start? It starts with the resume-vs-posting match score generated for that job, before a candidate applies, and continues from there. ### Can I compare fit trajectories across different applications? A candidate can review each application's own trajectory individually, since the history is tracked per application rather than merged into a single combined figure. ### Does fit trajectory update after every step of an application, or only at the end? It builds as the application moves forward, starting with the resume-vs-posting match score and adding to that history as the application progresses, rather than only appearing once the process is finished. ## Related pages - [AI job-match scoring](/features/job-matching) - [AI application insights](/features/application-insights) - [Job board intro screening interviews](/features/intro-screening-interviews) - [Browse open roles](/jobs) ## Watch how your fit score moves on each application Track the 0 to 100 fit history for every job you apply to on Intervieux, starting before the interview and continuing after.
