How TaaSFlow scores talent
Scoring priorities for Automotive
Every point of the score maps to an evidence quote from the CV. Dimensions, weights and critical requirements are shown alongside each candidate — the score supports judgment, it doesn't replace it.
What we evaluate in Automotive hires
Dimensions specific to Automotive — not a generic checklist.
Dimension
Relevant experience
Direct experience in comparable Automotive roles, scoped to the seniority and remit of the position.
Strong signal
A automotive CV that names its relevant experience outright: the work, the dates, the scope it owned, and something a reference can confirm.
Watch-out
Relevant experience asserted for automotive with nothing named behind it — no dates, no scope, no way to tell individual work from team credit.
How TaaSFlow validates
Automotive experience is scored on scope and outcome, not tenure alone.

Platform configuration
How TaaSFlow is configured for automotive hiring
Same platform, same objects, different configuration — Industrial and infrastructure. Tickets, safety records and site logistics decide who is actually hireable.

Requirements
Requirement patterns captured at intake
- Tickets, cards and certifications with expiry dates
- Plant, equipment or systems operated by name
- Site location, shift pattern and travel or rotation expectations
- Safety record and incident-response responsibility
Evidence
Evidence types extracted from the CV
- Certifications and tickets
- Named cards and tickets, with issuing body and validity.
- Equipment and systems
- Specific plant, lines or control systems operated or maintained.
- Safety and compliance record
- Standards worked under and safety responsibility held.
- Throughput outcomes
- Uptime, output, downtime reduction or cost outcomes with dates.

- Credentials and logistics are both raised: an expired ticket or an unworkable commute ends the match.
- Equipment specificity is scored, because 'maintenance experience' is not a qualification.
- Rotation and shift tolerance are treated as requirements, not preferences.
Compliance
Compliance handled in the workflow
- Safety certification
- Required tickets recorded as hard requirements with expiry tracking on the record.
- Site access and clearance
- Clearance or induction requirements captured before shortlisting.
- Right to work and mobility
- Work authorisation and rotation availability confirmed up front.
Approval controls
Who has to agree before anything moves
Safety-first configuration: eligibility holds on expired or missing tickets, evidence verified before shortlist.
- Approval before client visibility
- No candidate appears in a client workspace until a reviewer approves them for that specific role.
- Eligibility holds
- Missing licences, right-to-work or other hard requirements place a candidate on hold instead of ranking them.
- Evidence verification
- Extracted evidence is reviewable line by line, and a reviewer can confirm or reject each finding before it counts.
- Separate contact release
- Seeing a candidate and seeing their contact details are two different permissions, released independently.
- Reversible decisions
- Client decisions stay reversible for a short window, so a mis-click never becomes a permanent outcome.
- Full audit trail
- Every state change records who did it, when, and against which rubric version.

Role blueprint — example
Maintenance engineer — production site (example)
Example configuration output, not a customer role. Seniority: Experienced.
Must-haves
- Time-served mechanical or electrical qualification
- Hands-on maintenance on automated production lines
- Current safety certification for the site type
Dealbreakers
- No shift availability
- Expired mandatory ticket
Screening questions
- Which lines or equipment have you maintained, and at what uptime?
- Which safety tickets do you hold and when do they expire?
Intelligence
What the recommendations layer watches here
- Holds caused by expired certifications
- Location and shift mismatches shrinking the pool
- Stage stalls waiting on site clearance
