Application Analyzed (Ashby)
Candidate: Jane Doe
Job: Senior Backend Engineer
Match Score: 84
Recommendation: Consider for roles focused on platform engineering or infrastructure 
                leadership rather than backend engineering.
Summary: Jane Doe is an experienced infrastructure engineering leader with a strong 
         background in platform reliability and developer productivity. While he has 
         significant leadership experience, his resume does not highlight specific 
         backend engineering skills or experience that align with the job requirements. 
         His expertise may be better suited for roles focused on platform or 
         infrastructure management.

Troubleshooting

  • No Slack message? Verify the Slack webhook URL is correct/active. Check Account → Integrations → Ashby for error logs and that your account has credits.

  • Signature failed? Re-copy the Secret Token from SwiftLynx into Ashby (avoid spaces/hidden chars).
