The method

Honest about your fit. Careful with your story.

KaziMatch does two jobs: it tells you plainly whether a job is worth your time, and when it is, it writes an application that shows your real experience at its best.
Step one

Gates come before scores

Some requirements are not a matter of degree. Before scoring anything, KaziMatch reads the posting's own words on four hard questions and quotes them back to you. A failed gate caps the score, so a high number never hides a requirement you cannot meet.

Eligibility
Does the posting require citizenship, a work permit or security vetting you cannot meet? Silence counts as a pass, with a note.
Language
Languages the job itself needs, not the language the advert is written in. A missing language fails; a higher level than yours is flagged.
Location
Where the job is against where you are. Relocation or a long commute is flagged for you to decide, never failed.
Qualification
Requirements stated as mandatory: CPA-K, NCK, EBK, LSK, a minimum degree or years of experience. Fails only when clearly mandatory and clearly absent.
Step two

Five dimensions, scored 0 to 100

Skills and experience weigh most. The result is a verdict from strong to poor, the strengths to lead with, the gaps and what to do about each, and the posting's keywords split into the ones your history supports and the ones it does not.

  1. 01SkillsRequired and preferred skills against the evidence in your history.
  2. 02ExperienceThe function and nature of your work, not the literal job title. Years are counted honestly.
  3. 03QualificationsDegrees, certifications and professional registrations.
  4. 04LocationWhether the logistics work.
  5. 05CareerWhether the role is a sensible next step from where you are.
Step three

The interview backtrack test

Every line KaziMatch writes has to pass one question: could you explain it in an interview without saying "well, what I actually meant was"?

  • Fine: leading with your most relevant work, natural synonyms for the target field, using the posting's exact term where you genuinely did that thing.
  • Flagged for you: the posting's terminology for work that was related but not the same; academic or volunteer work that could read as employment.
  • Never: experience, qualifications, tools or results you do not have.

What never goes on your CV

Kenyan employers do not need these to shortlist you, and including them invites discrimination. KaziMatch leaves them out even when your original CV has them:

National ID or passport number · KRA PIN · date of birth or age · marital status · religion · tribe · health information
