Prerequisites  

Before you start matching job openings with your candidates, make sure that;

1. You have job openings present in your Zoho Recruit database.
   
2. Your job openings match with the candidate’s domain and industry of choice.
   For example, if the candidate has skills related to Sales & Marketing and all your job openings are for Software Developers, Zia would be unable to find any matches.
3. The candidate resume should have skills listed for Zia to find matching job openings.
