☆ Who Will Benefit ☆
* LinkedIn Recruiters and Recruiter Lite Users
Address the need to identify missing skills not available in LinkedIn's native tools, improving shortlisting accuracy.

Serve teams hiring IT specialists, consultants, and developers, addressing the demand for efficient skill assessment across roles.

---------------------------------------
☆ Real Value ☆
* Streamline the candidate screening process.
* Reduces time spent on manual skill analysis, potentially saving up to 2-3 hours per candidate profile.
* Identify suitable candidates quickly, improve daily workflow efficiency by automating skill comparisons and focusing efforts on relevant profiles (improves precision by an estimated 20-30% over manual methods).
---------------------------------------
☆ Vocabulary ☆
DevMatch includes a comprehensive vocabulary of IT skills, incorporating common variations and aliases (e.g., "JS" for JavaScript, "Node" for Node.js). It features structured skill groups such as front-end, back-end, and DevOps, ensuring accurate recognition and categorization. Beyond scanning, it highlights technical skills directly on pages for easy identification.
---------------------------------------
☆ Usage on LinkedIn ☆
DevMatch is developed specifically for all LinkedIn Recruiter and Recruiter Lite users, serving as a free add-on with no additional cost. LinkedIn is a primary platform for IT recruitment, with over 80% of tech hiring managers using it for sourcing, according to industry estimates. This add-on addresses the lack of skill gap analysis in LinkedIn's native features, enabling users to efficiently scan and match profiles against job requirements using LinkedIn’s extensive database.

Latest reviews
- (2025-06-20) Dmitry Kononov: first day review: 1) So I pinned one of our jobs, and now I can see how each candidate (LN profile) matches that job technically. 2) Some skills are actually not tech skills (like GO is a programming language but also a verb. Would be cool to be able to skip some skills I personaly don't need . 3) Missing skills is also cool. There are hundreds of profile we review daily. 4) Is there a way to integrate with our ATS or store history of profiles I opened. 5) Since it scans profiles, would be cool to get some history + score to find someone few days later. 6) How I set up several profiles for my team, is this possible, teamwork? Great job overall.
