  normalization: {
    titles: true,
    companies: true,
    skills: 'standard-taxonomy'

  redFlagRules: {
    maxGapMonths: 12,
    minTenureMonths: 12,
    flagJobHopping: true
  }
};

Candidate Scoring

const scoringCriteria = {
  jobRequirements: {
    requiredSkills: ['Python', 'SQL', 'Machine Learning'],
    preferredSkills: ['AWS', 'Spark', 'Docker'],
    minExperienceYears: 5,
    education: {
      required: 'Bachelors',
      preferredFields: ['Computer Science', 'Data Science']
    }

  weights: {
    requiredSkills: 40,
    preferredSkills: 20,
    experience: 25,
    education: 15
  },
  thresholds: {
    autoAdvance: 80,
    review: 60,
    autoReject: 40
  }
