How it works

Set it up once. Then one click per job.

  1. Paste your resume once.

    It stays in your browser.

  2. Open any job posting.

    Any page that shows the full job description works.

  3. Click the icon.

    You get a score out of 10, a recommendation, and a six-part scorecard.

What the score looks at

Jev, a decision model from TypeSafe, rates these six parts. They're listed from most to least weight.

Visa sponsorship gets its own estimate and never lowers your fit score.

Role level
Whether your scope matches the role's seniority
Customer type
The kind of users or customers you've served
Company stage
Startup, growth company, enterprise, or public sector
Domain
The industry, which matters least
