Getting Started: Download and Install the App for PC

Starting with our desktop app is straightforward, but a few tips can save you time and frustration. Head to our main website and click the “Download App” button, usually found in the top right corner. The installer is about 150MB, so it won’t clog your bandwidth.

Minimum System Requirements

  • Windows 10 or later (Windows 7 support ended)
  • At least 4GB RAM (8GB recommended for multitasking)
  • 500MB free disk space
  • Stable internet connection for real-time syncing

Simple Installation Steps

  1. Run the downloaded installer as administrator.
  2. Choose your install location (default is fine if your C: drive has space).
  3. Allow firewall permissions when prompted to enable real-time updates.
  4. Complete the initial setup wizard to configure preferences.

Once installed, the app launches your dashboard and syncs your profile automatically.

Setting Up Your Profile for Smarter Matches

You’ll find the profile section packed with options that let you steer the AI’s job suggestions. Upload multiple resumes, set salary expectations, and define geographic preferences with radius mapping.

Uploading and Managing Resumes

Uploading up to five resume versions allows you to target different roles more effectively. The app’s CV parser analyzes each to highlight your strongest skills and experiences.

Fine-Tuning Your Preferences

  • Set location preferences and travel radius
  • Input salary ranges using local market data
  • Tag your skills with proficiency levels

Privacy Controls That Work for You

You control who sees what. From open profiles visible to all recruiters to anonymous modes that hide your identity but showcase your skills, you choose the level of exposure.

Privacy Level Description Ideal Use
Open Profile Visible to all recruiters Actively seeking
Selective Only approved companies see you Employed but open
Anonymous Skills shown, identity hidden Confidential job search

Navigating Job Matches and Search Filters

Our AI scores every job from 1 to 100 based on how well it aligns with your profile. High-scoring listings are worth your immediate attention, but you’ll also find value in reviewing mid-range matches for potential fits you might not have considered.

How Match Scores Work

  • 90-100: Near-perfect fit, apply ASAP
  • 80-89: Strong match, worth considering
  • 70-79: Possible fit, review carefully
  • Below 70: Usually not relevant

Powerful Filters to Zero In

You can filter jobs by company size, remote options, salary, skills required, and industry. Saving your favorite filters as presets means less repetitive typing and more time applying.

Interview Automation That Saves You Time

Interview scheduling is often a hassle, but our app automates the back-and-forth for you. It syncs with your calendar, suggests interview slots to employers, and sends reminders so you never miss a meeting.

How Automated Scheduling Works

  1. The system checks your calendar availability (Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.)
  2. Proposes 3-5 time slots to the employer
  3. Sends confirmation emails with all details
  4. Sets up video conferencing links if needed
  5. Reminds you 24 hours and 1 hour before your interview
