Smart Matching Technology
How BluFutur’s AI pairs the right tradie with the right role
Who this is for
Small–medium employers and HR teams who want faster shortlists, better hires, and less admin.
What it does
BluFutur turns a job seeker’s portfolio (“Proof over Paper”) into structured signals and matches them to your job post. You get an instant Match Score and a ranked shortlist you can trust.
The signals we use (from the job seeker’s portfolio)
- Relevant Skills
- Verified Credentials
- Relevant Experience
- Project Experience
- Profile Quality
- Context Fit (from your job post)

What you see as an employer
- Shortlist with Match Scores (Fair / Good / Great) and “why it matched.
- Credential status at a glance (verified vs pending).
- Portfolio tiles with project photos, quick references, and relevant outcomes.
- Risk flags (e.g., expired licence; gaps in employment) so you can triage fast.
- One-click actions: Invite, Quick Apply review, Request missing ticket, Ask Skilly (our assistant) for clarifications.
Why this beats keyword search
- Proof over Paper: Real-world project evidence > keyword-stuffed resumes.
- Less bias, more signal: We emphasise capability and verified credentials, not university pedigree or CV formatting.
- Time saved: Typical SMBs cut screening time by 60–80% while improving interview quality.
- Better retention: Matching on environment (residential vs commercial), shift, and travel radius reduces early churn.

Publish → your shortlist populates instantly and updates as new candidates apply or complete verifications.
Candidate guidance (so matches keep improving)
- Complete the portfolio: add 3–5 projects with photos, scope, and outcomes.
- Verify tickets early: White Card, HR/HC, VOCs, inductions.
- Keep skills current: log micro-courses and renewals; we auto-ingest from partner RTOs.
- Update preferences: travel radius, shift availability, desired pay band.
Guardrails & fairness
- Privacy by design: candidates control what’s shared; sensitive docs are encrypted; audit logs on verification events.
- Bias checks: we test for adverse impact and avoid protected-attribute signals.
- Transparent explanations: every score can be expanded into human-readable reasons.
FAQs
BluFutur analyses skills, verified credentials, work history, portfolio proof (“Proof-Over-Paper”), project experience, and job-specific requirements to calculate a Match Score for every applicant.
The AI uses only job-relevant signals: skills, experience, licences/tickets, portfolio items, employment history, and verified credentials. Personal identity or non-work data is never used.
No — BluFutur is built with strict guardrails. The system excludes protected attributes (age, gender, ethnicity, location unless job-required) and scores only on skills and experience. Match decisions are monitored for fairness and transparency.
Most job posts are fully optimised in under 3 minutes. Once the job details are confirmed, the AI begins ranking candidates immediately.
Faster shortlists, safer hires, and proof you can see.
That’s Smart Matching—built for the trades, tuned for SMB reality, and powered by Proof over Paper.
