Prerequisites

Before you start matching candidates with your Job Openings , make sure that;

1. You have candidate records present in your Zoho Recruit database.
   
2. Your candidate records match with the job opening’s domain and industry. 
   For example, if your job opening is for a Software Developer and all your candidates have skills related to Sales & Marketing, Zia would be unable to find any matches. 
3. The Skill Set you’ve associated with the Job Opening has skills defined as “Nice To Have” rather than “Must Have” in order to get candidate suggestions from Zia.
