Candidate fit scoring that explains why this person, not just who ranks first.
Kempian shows skills, experience, compliance, location, missing evidence, and a clear next step. Every consequential action still passes through a recruiter review gate.

The anatomy of an explainable fit score.
Every candidate score in Kempian includes the evidence recruiters need before approving outreach, shortlist movement, or submission.
Signal name
Identifies what is being evaluated: match quality, compliance risk, readiness, workforce fit.
Contributing factors
Each signal broken into named sub-factors with individual scores and documented source data.
Confidence band
High / Medium / Low with semantic colour. Never just a raw number without context.
"Why this?" access
Every score has visible reasoning. Expand any factor to see the source evidence.
Missing signals
Gaps are surfaced explicitly. Not hidden in a lower score without explanation.
Action path
System recommends the next step based on confidence state and missing data.
Human oversight
Recruiter approves, holds, or rejects. No candidate is contacted without human confirmation.
What the fit score is, and is not.
A score without explanation is never acceptable
Factor groups are always named and visible
Missing signals are surfaced, not suppressed
Human review gate at every action step
"Bias-free AI" language anywhere on the platform
Fully autonomous hiring decisions
Score shown without action path
Guaranteed fairness or perfect match claims
Four human gates, not one.
EU AI Act Annex III Article 14 requires meaningful human oversight on high-risk AI systems. Kempian enforces four gate points. No gate can be automatically bypassed.
Demand intake
Recruiter approves demand before sourcing begins. AI cannot self-trigger a search.
Shortlist review
Recruiter reviews scores and approves shortlist before any outreach.
Outreach approval
Recruiter explicitly approves contact with each candidate. No automated cold outreach.
Client submission
Final human sign-off before submitting candidate package to a client portal.
