2025.11: Improved match models, updated match narrative and date formats

AdeptID’s November 2025 release introduces an improved matching algorithm for search & match endpoints, updates the Match Narrative format, and updates the date schema for multiple endpoints.

Improved match models

What changed

More accurate assessments: Previous versions of AdeptID’s match models were constrained by only considering the structured resume and job parse, often missing nuances and details that exist in the unstructured free document text. The new models consider this unstructured free document text and as a result are significantly better at identifying “interview worthy” candidates (as measured by “precision”, the portion of candidates in a match score category who receive an interview). With this release, expect precision to increase 60% in the top category and 30% across the top two categories.

More actionable scores: Previous versions of AdeptID’s match models often placed a large portion of candidates for a job in the High and Very High match score categories. This limited the impact of categories as filters for reducing the number of candidate profiles needing review. The new models place an average of 40% of total candidates into the High and Very High match score categories without reducing the number of “interview worthy” candidates in each category.

Action required

If using previous versions of evaluate-candidates, evaluate-jobs, and/or match-narrative, migrate to new versions to leverage improved models.

Updated Match Narrative format

What changed

To increase user interface implementation flexibility, a new version of the match-narrative endpoint returns separate strings for the overall assessment and work history, skills, and education assessments. Customers can concatenate the strings to preserve the previous single paragraph format or display these strings separately.
