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.

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

Fine-Tuning Your Preferences
- Set location preferences and travel radius

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

- Proposes 3-5 time slots to the employer
- Sends confirmation emails with all details
- Sets up video conferencing links if needed
- Reminds you 24 hours and 1 hour before your interview
