Job Search
Job Search (/jobs) is your triage inbox: every role the matcher surfaces — plus anything you import — lands in Pending Review, and you sort each one through the pipeline (Pending Review → Interested → Applied → Interviewing → Offer). Postings flow in twice a day; the rest of the app (Pipeline, Insights, Reports) reads from this same data.
TL;DR — Triage Pending Review daily: open a job, click Mark Interested (or a disposal action), then Apply — which walks you through a prepare-to-apply checklist and marks the job Applied when you confirm. Add roles the matcher missed via Find Jobs, Import URL, or Add Job.
Quick start (first 5 minutes)
- Open Job Search from the sidebar — there's a count badge if you have new (Pending Review) jobs waiting
- The top sub-nav leads with Overview (a summary dashboard), followed by the status buckets: Saved · Applied · Interviewing · Offer Received · Rejected · All. The Saved tab combines Pending Review and Interested into one list; use its Review and Interested checkboxes to narrow to either one.
- Open Saved — new matches land in Pending Review (the Review checkbox) and jobs you've flagged sit in Interested; both show together here until you act on them
- Click any row to open the Job detail drawer (full description, salary, deadline, hiring manager, source link)
- In the detail panel header, click one of the status buttons
(they're visible on every tab):
- Mark Interested → moves to the Interested bucket
- Mark Not Relevant / Mark Closed → disposal moves
- Once a job is Interested, click Apply → review the prepare-to-apply checklist, submit on the company's site, then confirm I've submitted — Mark Applied (or click Mark Applied directly)
That's the daily loop. Pending Review → Interested → Applied → keep going.
The status flow
| Status | Meaning | |---|---| | Pending Review | New rows the matcher pulled in | | Interested | Jobs you're actively considering / preparing to apply to | | Applied | You've submitted (auto-set when you click Apply, or set manually) | | Interviewing | Active interview process | | Offer Received | They made an offer | | Rejected | They closed the loop with a no | | No Response | You applied but never heard back (see "Mark No Response" below) | | Closed | The posting itself was closed (filled, withdrawn) | | Not Relevant | Doesn't match what you want — won't surface again | | Out of Region | Geographic mismatch — won't surface again | | All | Aggregate view across every bucket |
The status buttons in the detail panel header show only the moves that make sense from your current bucket — a Pending Review job has Mark Interested / Mark Not Relevant / Mark Closed, an Interested job has Apply / Mark Applied / Mark Closed, and an Applied job has Interviewing / Rejected / Mark Closed. They stay visible on every tab of the panel, so you can change status without leaving what you're looking at.
Overview tab
The first tab on the top sub-nav, Overview, is a read-only summary of your whole pipeline — open it for a quick health check without scrolling any list:
- Status cards — one count per bucket (Pending Review, Interested, Applied, Interviewing, Offer Received, Rejected) plus a Total in pipeline card. Each card mirrors the badge counts on the sub-nav. The Applied card also has a Mark No Response button — see below.
- This week's applications — a Sunday-to-Saturday bar chart of how many jobs you marked Applied each day this week, with this-week total, daily average, your best day, and last week's total beneath it. This widget appears only when your career status (Settings → Profile) is Actively Looking or Unemployed — if you're passively looking or not looking, it's hidden.
- Pipeline funnel — a horizontal funnel from Pending Review through Offer so you can see where roles are concentrated (and where they stall).
Overview never changes your data — switch to any status bucket to get back to the working list. It doesn't load the job list itself, so it opens instantly.
Mark No Response
Applications that go quiet are easy to clean up in bulk. On the Applied card, click Mark No Response, enter how many days old an application has to be (default 30), and confirm. Every job you've had in Applied longer than that — and that hasn't moved to another status since — is set to No Response.
No-Response jobs leave the Applied bucket and show under the Rejected tab. There, a Rejected | No Response filter lets you view both together (default) or narrow to just one. The Rejected sub-nav badge counts both.
Filtering
The filter row sits right-aligned directly above the job list and narrows what shows in the active bucket:
- Time — posted within the last 24 hours / 7 / 30 / 90 days
- Status — only on the All tab, to narrow to a single bucket
- Search — title / company / description full-text
- Clear filters — reset everything in one click
Filters persist as you switch status buckets. The badge counts on the top sub-nav reflect the unfiltered totals so you can always see how many jobs sit in each bucket.
Importing jobs manually
The matcher won't catch every role. Three import paths:
- Find Jobs — searches the shared catalog and lets you accept matches one-by-one
- Import URL — paste a job posting URL; we fetch + parse the description
- Add Job — fully manual: paste title + company + description yourself. Tip: drag a job link from a browser tab straight onto the Add Job form. We first read whatever the dropped link itself carries, then look the posting up server-side and fill in the Title, Company, Location, Remote type, salary, posting date, and description where those fields are still blank — so we never overwrite anything you've already typed. LinkedIn job links are resolved through LinkedIn's public job view, so those autofill too. A few sites block the lookup; when that happens the link stays in the field and you fill the rest in by hand. Everything we fill is editable — verify before saving.
All three drop the job into Pending Review with you as the source.
Reposted roles. If the role you're adding matches one already in your pipeline (same title + company within the last ~90 days), we flag it as a duplicate instead of creating a second copy. When a role was genuinely closed and reposted later, click Add as new position anyway on the duplicate notice, enter a short reason (e.g. "role reposted"), and we'll create a separate entry — the reason is saved on the new job so you remember why there are two.
The detail drawer
Clicking a row opens a right-hand drawer with everything we know about the job:
- Header row — title, company, the status buttons, and the active tab's action (Edit, Add a Question, Upload, …)
- Tabs — Details · Application Q&A · Documents · AI Tips · Notes · Resume Match · Interviews · Interview Prep (Interviews and Interview Prep appear once the job is Applied)
- Details tab — field grid (location, salary, status, deadline, hiring manager), status history, and the description, with a View Job Source link that opens the original posting in a new tab
- AI Tips tab — role-specific tips; Generate AI Tips appears in the header while the job is Interested, Applied, or Interviewing and tips haven't been generated yet. The tips include likely interview questions, which you can push to your Question Bank — or, once the job is Interviewing with an interview set up, straight into that interview's prep (see Interview Prep)
- Notes tab — your private notes on the job
The Application Q&A, Documents, and Interviews tabs are how you track everything you do with the job — they're covered in their own help pages.
Resume Match tab
The Resume Match tab scores your resume against the job's description and shows you exactly where you're strong, where you're weak, and what to fix first.
Finding it: Job Search → click any job row → Resume Match tab in the detail drawer.
How your resume is chosen
Resume Match picks the best available resume in this order:
- A resume you've uploaded directly to this job (via the Documents tab) — used first so you can test a tailored version
- Your active profile resume (set in Settings → Resume)
- If neither exists, the tab prompts you to upload one before running a match
What you need on the job side
The job must have a description. Jobs imported via URL or the shared catalog normally have one; jobs added manually without a description can't be matched — add the description text in the Details tab first.
What you get
Click Run match (or Re-run match to update after revising your resume) and within a few seconds you see:
- Overall score — a weighted average across all scored categories, shown as a percentage gauge
- Category scores — one row per scoring area (Scope Match,
Experience Relevance, ATS Keyword Coverage, Leadership Signals, and
more depending on your tier), each with:
- the score for that category
- Why this score — concrete evidence from your resume vs. the job description
- How to improve — a specific, actionable change you can make
- Top fixes — the three weakest categories pulled to the top so you know where to focus revision effort first
History
Every run is saved. The tab shows your full run history for this job so you can watch the overall score climb as you revise and re-upload your resume. Viewing past results never uses a credit — only running or re-running a match does.
Monthly quota [Paid]
| Tier | Matches per month | |---|---| | Free | 1 | | Managerial | 5 | | Leadership | 15 | | Executive | 40 |
The tab shows how many matches you have left this month. Quotas reset on the first of each calendar month. Admins can adjust per-tier limits; see Subscription to upgrade.

Tips
- Triage Pending Review every morning. Five minutes of disposal keeps the queue clean and surfaces the 1–2 you want to apply to.
- Use Interested as a "shortlist" not a "todo". If a job sits in Interested for >2 weeks without action, move it to Closed.
- The All tab has no count badge — it's always 3+ digits for any active subscriber and the badge becomes noise.
- Filters persist within a session — set Time + Search once and they keep applying as you move between status buckets until you click Clear filters.
