The Match Score is a percentage that estimates how closely a teacher's profile fits a job post. Teachers see it next to recommended jobs. Schools see it next to each applicant, and can click the percentage to see how each factor contributed.
The profile and the job are compared on eight factors. Some matter more than others, as shown below.
| Factor | Importance | What is compared |
|---|---|---|
| Subject | High | Your subjects compared with the subject(s) of the job. A match on any one subject counts as a full match. |
| Native English speaker requirement | High | Counted when the job post asks for a native English speaker: your nationality is compared with what the school states. If the post does not ask for it, this factor does not count against anyone. |
| Location | Medium | See the location rules below. |
| TEFL / TESOL certificate | Medium | Counted when the job post asks for one. If the post does not ask for it, this factor does not count against anyone. |
| Grade level | Medium | Your preferred grade levels compared with the level the job is for (kindergarten, primary, lower secondary, upper secondary). |
| Salary | Medium | Your expected salary range compared with the salary range of the job. Counts in your favour if the ranges overlap, and is not held against you if either side has not stated a salary. |
| Teaching experience | Medium | Your experience compared with the minimum the job asks for. If the post states no requirement, this factor does not count against anyone. |
| Start date | Lower | The month you are available from compared with the month the job starts. Being available on or before the start month scores best. |
Some job posts require applicants to be in Thailand already. This is not part of the score, so always read the post.
A score is shown only after the profile has a location, a nationality and the subjects taught. Until then you will see a prompt to complete your profile instead.
