Scoring priorities for Food & Beverage
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 Food & Beverage hires
Dimensions specific to Food & Beverage — not a generic checklist.
Dimension
Relevant experience
Direct experience in comparable Food & Beverage roles, scoped to the seniority and remit of the position.
Strong signal
A food & beverage 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 food & beverage with nothing named behind it — no dates, no scope, no way to tell individual work from team credit.
How TaaSFlow validates
Food & Beverage experience is scored on scope and outcome, not tenure alone.

- Required certificates recorded where the role demands them.
- Working-time rules
- Shift and rest requirements stated in the role definition.
Approval controls
Who has to agree before anything moves
High-throughput configuration: single approval step, contact release on approval, decisions reversible.
- Approval before client visibility
- No candidate appears in a client workspace until a reviewer approves them for that specific role.
- 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.
