Do not take our word for it

This page shows the reasoning itself, so you can judge it before creating anything.

A record, read in full

Five courses from an IT graduate record, and what they translate to for employers.

Course on the record Database Systems 2
Skill employers search for SQL
Strong match
Why this match

Queries, table design and normalisation are the working content of this course. Employers write that as SQL.

Course on the record Object Oriented Programming
Skill employers search for Java
Strong match
Why this match

The course teaches object oriented design and its projects are built in Java. Both words belong on your profile.

Course on the record Statistics for Computing
Skill employers search for Data analysis
Strong match
Why this match

Descriptive statistics, probability and interpreting results: postings call this data analysis.

Course on the record Systems Analysis and Design
Skill employers search for Requirements gathering
Strong match
Why this match

The course centres on turning what a client needs into a specification. Postings ask for it as requirements gathering.

Course on the record Technical Writing
Skill employers search for Documentation
Suggested — confirm
Why this match

The record shows the course but not the tools you used in it, so this one is labelled a suggestion until you confirm it.

An illustrative example. Inside the product, each match links to a live posting with the date it was retrieved.

How a match is justified

A match is a chain with three links: a course on your record, the skill inside that course, and a posting that asks for that skill. Itqan shows the whole chain every time, under the name why this match.

When the chain is strong, the match says so. When any link is weaker, the match is labelled a suggestion for you to confirm. It is never presented as fact.

What Itqan cannot do yet

  • It cannot promise you a job. It shows you where you stand and what closes the distance. The applying is still yours.
  • It has not published an accuracy figure, because measurement on enough real records is not finished. Publishing a number before that would be a guess.
  • Some results are suggestions to confirm, not facts. They are labelled.
  • A transcript is a starting point, not the whole picture of you. Projects, work and character live outside it.
  • It reads Arabic and English records. Other languages, not yet.
