# Candidate matchmaking

> How to score and match candidates against open job requirements using the Merge ATS API.

---

#### Connect to your customers' ATS systems

Use Merge Link to provide a seamless end user authorization experience for your customers.

#### Ingest open jobs

Use the Merge API to pull in open positions, and analyze their descriptions and requirements. Use `status` to filter to only "open" jobs.

#### Analyze candidate qualifications

As candidates enter the talent pipeline, use the Merge API to ingest their profile and resume.

#### Score candidates against open positions

Use your algorithm to score a candidate's qualifications against a job's requirements.

#### Optional: historical performance

Train your algorithm on historical outcomes; compare candidates who were offered a position against those who were rejected.

#### Recruit and hire staff more efficiently with Merge
