Getting Started with Jobiz

Welcome to Jobiz. Job hunting is mostly noise: hundreds of listings to skim, dozens of resumes to rewrite, a tracker that's already out of date. We take care of all of that for you. This guide walks you through the whole flow, from your first sign-in to your first offer, so you can spend your time where it actually matters.

1. Creating Your Account

Head to Sign Up and choose your method:

  • Google: one-click sign-up with your Google account
  • Email: enter your email and pick a password, then verify by clicking the link we send you

Tip: use your primary inbox. Auto search emails and the weekly digest land there.

2. Onboarding

After signing in for the first time, you'll go through a short onboarding:

  1. Tell us your name (if you signed up with email)
  2. Upload your resume (PDF or DOCX, up to 10 MB). We parse it and extract everything we can find: work history, education, skills, languages, certifications, courses, projects, publications, and contact details
  3. Review the parsed data. Parsing is best-effort, so this step lets you double-check what we extracted before saving. Every field is editable: fix anything that landed in the wrong section, fill in details the parser missed, expand bullets that got truncated. It's the same form you'll edit later in Resumes, so anything you correct here is one less thing to clean up later

Match scores and tailored documents only work once we have your resume on file. We recommend uploading it during onboarding to take full advantage of all Jobiz features. If you skipped it, head over to your resume profile (next section) and add it there.

3. Your Resume Profile

Open Resumes from the sidebar and pick your resume's card (the one marked Default). That's where your parsed resume lives. You can keep several resumes there, up to your plan's limit, and choose Make it the default on the one Jobiz should use for match scores and Auto-apply.

If you skipped the upload during onboarding, this is where you add it: click the Upload button to provide a PDF or DOCX and we'll parse it for you, or fill in the form fields manually if you'd rather start from scratch.

From a resume's editor you can:

  • Click Analyze: the AI reviews your resume end-to-end and suggests concrete improvements (clarity, impact, missing keywords, weak bullets). Apply suggestions one by one, or use them as a guide for your own edits
  • Edit any field: work history, education, skills, summary, and everything else we parsed (in the Content tab)
  • Click Upload again to add another resume from a new file (PDF or DOCX, up to 10 MB); every upload makes a new base resume
  • Open the Style tab to switch templates and customize fonts and colors. This sets the default style applied to every tailored resume you generate from this point on (you can also override the style on a single tailored resume; covered below in Reviewing & Editing Generated Documents)
  • Click Download at any time to export your base resume as PDF in the current template and style
  • Click History to view past versions and roll back changes

Cover letters have a default too: on any tailored cover letter, click Use as default to keep its template, fonts, and colors for every tailored cover letter you generate. Per-document overrides work the same way as for resumes.

Your default resume is the source of truth the AI uses for every match score, AI Extraction, and tailored document (unless you pick another base resume when you tailor). Keeping it sharp (and running Analyze from time to time) is the most impactful thing you can do for result quality.

4. Finding Jobs

Open Find jobs from the sidebar. It's one live search: enter one or more job titles and locations, pick a Date posted range (Last hour / Last 24 hours / Last 7 days / Last 30 days), switch on Remote only if you only want remote roles, and press Search. Once you've entered a title you can also sort by Most relevant, Newest, Oldest, Highest salary, or Lowest salary. Searching is free and unlimited on every plan, with every filter and every date range.

The Filters panel beside the search bar narrows further: work arrangement, seniority, employment type, job family, minimum salary, years of experience asked, education, company size, visa sponsorship, security clearance, and whether the job states a salary.

The jobs come from company career sites, the applicant tracking systems behind them, and LinkedIn, collected by us and organised by AI into structured fields. Recruitment-agency postings are left out.

Nothing is saved: the page URL is the search, so you can bookmark it to run it again or share the link.

If you leave the title empty and you've uploaded your resume, the page shows For you: jobs ranked against your resume, best fit first.

Cards and Table

The same results come in two views, switched from the page header:

  • Cards: a grid for browsing
  • Table: for comparing. Sort and filter any column, add AI columns, select rows for bulk actions, and export

The first 50 jobs appear at once and more load as you go (as you scroll in Cards, with Show more jobs in the Table), up to the first 1,000 of a search. If a search matches more than that, the page tells you and suggests narrowing it.

Click any card or row to open the full posting in a side panel. Full details are in Find Jobs.

Saving a job

Click the bookmark on a card, or set an application status on a job: Tracked, Applied, Interviewing, Waiting, Offer, Accepted, Rejected, or Withdrawn. The job goes to the Tracker, and status changes stay in sync between Find jobs and the Tracker.

Exporting

When you want the data outside Jobiz, switch to the Table view, click Settings in the toolbar (the slider icon) and pick Export. The dialog gives you two destinations (CSV or Google Sheets) plus toggles to Include hidden rows and Include hidden columns. Useful for sharing with a coach, archiving externally, or running your own pivots.

5. Match Score & AI Extraction

Once your resume is uploaded, every job in Find jobs shows a Match Score, a percentage indicating how closely the role lines up with your resume and preferences. Use it as a triage tool: it tells you which 5 of 50 listings deserve a careful read. It is not a hire-probability prediction. It's worked out on the spot from your resume, on every job and every plan, and never counts against your plan.

The number is only half the story. Open a job and switch to the Match tab to see why it scored the way it did: a one-line verdict (e.g. Strong match, Partial fit), the job's skills grouped by importance with the ones you have highlighted and the ones you lack outlined, and checks on requirements such as years of experience, education, and languages. That tells you what to lead with and what to address.

You can also use AI Extractions to pull specific info from each posting without reading the whole post yourself. Define a question once and pick the answer format you want (No preference, Yes/No, True/False, List, Short summary, Number, Date, or Extracted text), and the AI writes the answer in a new column. In the Table view, run it on a single job (right-click) or on a selection (check the rows you want, or use the header checkbox to select all rows). Before it starts, the dialog shows how many jobs your plan has left this month. One job counts once, however many columns it answers. Answers are kept per job, so they show up again whenever that job appears in a later search.

Examples:

  • "Is this fully remote?" (Yes/No)
  • "What's the company size?" (Number)
  • "Which technologies are mentioned?" (List)
  • "How many years of experience are required?" (Number)
  • "What's the application deadline?" (Date)

AI columns have a monthly number of jobs and a number of jobs per run: Free 3 a month (3 per run), Pro 200 (10 per run), Max 2,000 (100 per run). See Billing & Plans for the full plan comparison.

6. Tailored Documents

When you find a job worth applying to, generate a tailored resume or cover letter from the job detail panel (the Tailor application button), or from the Table view:

  1. Pick the jobs: right-click a single row (available on every plan), or, on Max, select up to 5 rows (checkboxes) to generate for several jobs at once
  2. Click Tailor application (in the right-click menu, or in the toolbar above the table when rows are selected). The Tailor application menu opens.
  3. Choose what to generate:
    • Resume + Cover Letter (both at once)
    • Resume
    • Cover Letter
  4. The AI rewrites your base resume for each posting, highlighting relevant experience and pulling keywords from the job description

Generation runs in the background, so you can keep working while documents finish. Each completed document is saved to Tailored in the sidebar.

Free includes 1 tailored resume and 1 cover letter a month (one application). Pro and Max tailor without a monthly limit, within fair use. See Billing & Plans for the details.

7. Reviewing & Editing Generated Documents

Open the Tailored page from the sidebar to manage everything you've generated. The page groups it by job, as pages or as a table (Company, Position, Location, Last Generated) with a column for Resume and one for Cover Letter, so you can jump straight into the document you want.

  • Click into any tailored document to open the editor with a side-by-side live preview
  • Edit any section manually, or ask the AI to refine specific bullets ("more concise", "emphasize leadership", "soften the tone")
  • Switch templates from inside the editor to change the visual style without regenerating the content
  • Click Download to export a PDF when you're satisfied
  • Click Save as base resume to copy a tailored resume into your base resumes (the tailored one stays with its job)
  • Delete old versions you no longer need

You can regenerate from scratch at any time (on Free, each regeneration counts toward your monthly tailored documents).

8. Your Dashboard

The Dashboard is the landing page you hit when you sign in. It's the at-a-glance status of your search, pulling signals from across the app so you can see what needs your attention without digging through individual surfaces.

What you'll find on it:

  • Needs Attention: surfaces stale items that deserve a nudge. Applications without a response for over a week, jobs stuck in "waiting" too long, tracked roles you haven't applied to yet. When there's nothing to act on, it shows "All caught up"
  • Getting Started: a 6-step checklist for new accounts (Upload your resume, Run AI Analysis on your resume, Run a job search, Extract with AI, Generate a tailored document, Set up an auto search), with a counter showing how many you've ticked off
  • Tracker Pipeline: a bar chart showing how many jobs you have in each pipeline stage. Useful for spotting bottlenecks at a glance; open the Tracker and filter by status to dig into a specific stage
  • Calendar: a rolling 14-day forward view of follow-ups you've scheduled on tracked jobs, so the next thing you need to do is always visible

Think of the Dashboard as a morning check-in: see what's stale, what's coming up, and where you stand. Click anything to jump to the relevant page (Tracker, Find jobs, Tailored) and take action.

9. Tracking Your Applications

The Tracker page in the sidebar is your application pipeline: every job you're actively pursuing, in one place, with status and dates so nothing slips through the cracks.

Each job moves through six forward stages as you act on it:

  • Tracked: saved to follow up on, not applied yet
  • Applied: you've sent your application
  • Interviewing: actively in the process
  • Waiting: post-interview, awaiting the next step
  • Offer: you've received one
  • Accepted: you took it

Two exit states close the loop when a path ends: Rejected and Withdrawn.

For every tracked job you can:

  • Set a follow-up date that surfaces on the Dashboard calendar when it's coming up
  • Leave notes (recruiter name, prep reminders, salary range from the call)
  • See key timestamps at a glance: when you first tracked the job, when you applied
  • Filter the table by status to focus on a specific stage

The pipeline summary bar at the top of the page (and the matching one on the Dashboard) shows your distribution across stages. Useful for spotting bottlenecks: lots tracked but few applied? You're hesitating. Lots in waiting? Time to nudge.

You can also add a job by hand with the Add job button at the top of the Tracker: paste the posting for the AI to fill in the fields, or type them yourself. A job added this way is tracked right away. Status changes made in Find jobs (covered above in Finding Jobs) and on the Tracker read and write the same field, so the two stay in sync automatically.

10. Auto Searches

An auto search is a saved search that runs on its own schedule and brings you only the jobs that are new since its last run. Instead of running the same search every morning, the auto search does it for you, optionally scores each new job and runs AI columns on it, and emails you what it found.

Auto searches are on every plan: Free keeps 1 auto search, checked daily; Pro keeps 5, checked every hour; Max keeps 15, checked every 10 minutes.

Open Auto-search from the sidebar to see your auto searches as cards. Click Create your first auto search (or New auto search if you already have some) to launch the 4-step wizard:

  1. Search: keywords, location, and filters
  2. Match Score: toggle on to compute a Match Score for each new job the auto search finds
  3. AI Extraction: optionally pick AI columns to run on each new job, so the answers are ready when you check the results
  4. Schedule & Delivery: how often to check (as often as your plan allows), at what time and timezone, and whether to email you the new jobs (on Max, each run can also go to a Google Sheet or come as a CSV)

By default the emails come as one daily digest across all your auto searches, sent from 8 AM in your timezone and only when there's something new. Pro and Max can switch to As they come in Settings > Preferences. Each card shows how many new jobs the auto search found this week.

You can pause any auto search with the Pause button on its card (and Resume later), edit it at any time, and set a Stop after N runs value so it switches itself off after that many runs (handy for trial searches you don't want running indefinitely).

The search and the Match Score never count against your plan. AI columns on an auto search count like any other AI column run: one job counts once, up to your plan's jobs per run. See Auto Searches for the details.

11. Auto-apply

On Pro (3 applications a month, to try it) and Max (300 a month), Auto-apply (in the sidebar) sends applications for you. You set it up once: accept the auto-apply terms, answer the application profile (every question application forms ask that your resume doesn't answer), choose the e-mail address applications go out with, forward that mailbox to us, and give permission to send. From then on, Jobiz picks jobs that match your resume and your criteria and applies to them, up to your plan's monthly allowance. A job that asks something your profile doesn't cover is skipped, never guessed.

Every application is listed on the Auto-apply page with what was answered, and each one sent also lands in the Tracker as Applied. Full details are in Auto-apply.

12. Plan Limits

Search is free: searching, every filter and date range, the Match Score, the Tracker, and exports are unlimited on every plan. A plan sets what we do for you: how many tailored resumes and cover letters a month (Free 1 of each; unlimited on Pro and Max, within fair use), how many jobs the AI columns read, how many auto searches you keep and how often they're checked, and how many applications Auto-apply sends. Monthly counts reset at the start of every billing cycle.

Check where you stand in Settings > Usage. For the full plan comparison, see Billing & Plans.

13. Account Requirements

  • You must be at least 16 years old to create an account
