Low "Job-Fit", High Hopes: Why “No” Means “Go” for Applicants. Demystifying Our Love/Hate Relationship with AI via Moments IQ

Speaker: Aneliya Filatova (Senior Customer Data Platform Manager, JobCloud – the leading digital company in the Swiss job market)


It turns out, when job seekers see they are a “poor fit" for a job, they are not put off. Applicants with low job-fit scores are applying at higher rates than the “great fit” crowd.

Are they ignoring the scores, taking a leap of faith, or just not fans of AI’s matchmaking skills? To find out, we’re unleashing Tealium Moments IQ surveys on Switzerland’s top job portals – right when users hit “apply".

Moments IQ gathers instant, honest feedback, identifying precisely those who defy algorithmic pessimism. The goal: to find out if users ignore, distrust, or reinterpret AI-driven scores. JobCloud is demystifying the user-AI relationship to help them build smarter, friendlier matching algorithms for the future
