JobScout AI Platform

Getting Started with JobScout

When you first jump on JobScout, it’s not just another job board. Our platform learns from what you want and gets smarter over time. Setting up is simple: just create an account with your email and password, and start building your profile with your preferences and work history. The more details you add, the better our AI understands what fits you.

Once you verify your email, the AI kicks off, analyzing your info and starting to match you with jobs that make sense. From our experience, users who take the time to fill out their profiles see better matches right away.

How It Works: AI-Powered Job Matching

Our AI isn’t just scanning keywords. It’s crunching data on career paths, skills, company culture, and salary expectations to make matches that actually align with your goals. We look beyond your resume to patterns that suggest where you’ll thrive.

The Matching Score Explained

Each job you see comes with a match score. Think of it as a confidence meter that tells you how well the role fits your profile.

• 90-100% means this job is a great fit — consider applying right away.
• 75-89% shows strong alignment; review carefully, it’s worth a shot.
• 60-74% decent fit, but weigh other factors before applying.
• Below 60% usually not a good match, unless something stands out.
