Frequently asked questions

Jobless is for people who want a more focused job search. Whether you are looking from your home country, searching internationally, changing careers, or simply tired of opening the same job on five different sites, Jobless starts with your experience and helps you focus on the roles worth your time.

Job boards show you listings. Jobless helps you decide which listings are worth applying to. It compares each role with your experience, explains where you fit and where you do not, helps you tailor the application, and keeps your applications and recruiter replies together. You are not left with another long list and a blank page.

Start with your CV. Jobless looks at your experience, skills, and seniority, then compares that background with each role. Instead of a vague recommendation, it shows the strengths that line up, the gaps to think about, and any red flags before you spend time applying.

Yes. Jobless is available worldwide and searches a large pool of active jobs, including remote roles. Each employer still sets its own location, remote-work, and work-authorisation requirements, so not every role will be open everywhere. Jobless helps you look beyond a single local job board while staying clear about those limits.

Jobless collects active openings from company application systems, including Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, SmartRecruiters, Recruitee, Teamtailor, BambooHR, and Rippling. We refresh the job pool daily so you can search current employer openings rather than relying on a static list.

No. Jobless does not place candidates, represent employers, or decide who gets hired. It is your job-search workspace: a place to find relevant roles, prepare your application, and keep the search organised. Employers do not see your profile unless you choose to apply to them.

No. Jobless can prepare your materials and autofill supported application forms, but you review every field and click submit yourself. That means you stay in control of what gets sent, where you apply, and how you present yourself.

Yes. The Free plan includes three hand-picked matches each day, the application tracker, job scoring, and the browser extension, with no credit card. Paid plans are there when you want more matches, more writing help, and automatic inbox updates; you can start using the core search and tracking tools without paying.

Your CV, profile, and application history stay in your account and are not shared with employers. If you connect your inbox, Jobless uses read-only access to identify job-related messages and keep your tracker current. It never sends, deletes, or schedules anything on its own, and you can disconnect your inbox whenever you want.

The Free plan costs $0 forever and gives you one hand-picked match a day. Pro is $20 per month, with 10 fresh matches each day, the Application Kit, Story Bank, Smart Inbox, and 50M monthly credits, and it starts with a 14-day free trial. Ultimate is $50 per month, with 25 daily matches, 150M monthly credits, and priority processing. You can see the full comparison on the pricing page before choosing a plan.

Credits are the allowance behind the parts of Jobless that do more work for you, such as scoring a job, tailoring a resume, writing a cover letter, sorting a recruiter email, or drafting an application answer. Each plan includes a monthly pool that you can spend across those tools however your search needs it. Your daily hand-picked matches do not use credits.

Yes. Cancel from your account settings at any time and you keep paid access until the end of the billing period. Your account then moves back to Free, so your tracker, resumes, and history remain available. Pro and Ultimate members can also pause for up to 90 days if their search is on hold.

Two triggers. When you apply through the browser extension, the card jumps to Applied on its own. When a recruiter replies to your email, Smart Inbox reads that message and moves the card to Interview, Offer, or Rejected, asking you to confirm before each change so nothing moves wrongly.

The company, role, status, and stage, plus the salary, your notes, contacts, and a follow-up date, and the exact tailored resume, cover letter, and answers you applied with. Every action is timestamped, so you can see when you applied and when you heard back.

You connect Gmail or Outlook with secure access, and Smart Inbox reads only your job-related mail. It figures out what each message is, an interview invite, a rejection, an offer, matches it to the right application on your board, and moves that card. Personal email is ignored, and nothing is sent without you.

No. Because the auto-status reads your inbox, a reply to an application you submitted on a company site or LinkedIn still moves the matching card. Or you can add and move jobs manually.

Yes. Drag any card across the stages, edit any field, add notes or tags, or flip to a sortable list view. The automation is optional, the board is always yours to organize by hand.

Yes. The tracker logs every application and stage change, so it shows how many you applied to, how many replied, and how many reached interview or offer, so you can see where the search is stalling.

Yes, a free one at jobless.dev/tools/job-application-tracker-template. It is the same 12-column layout this board uses (company, role, link, date applied, status, resume version sent, contact, salary, next step, follow-up date, source, notes) with a status dropdown, an overdue follow-up flag and a Stats sheet for response and interview rate. No signup.

It works in two passes. First it narrows the board down to the roles that genuinely look like your background, so you are only compared against jobs you would actually want. Then AI re-runs the match on each of those, reading it against your profile to judge how well you really fit. The result is matches you resemble, not everything with a keyword in common.

Carefully engineered LLM processing reads your own fields and preferences to catch what you are actually into, what you love and what you do not, and the system gets better at it over time as you use it.

Yes. Each match spells out its strengths, gaps, and red flags, plus the move to make, so the score is never a black box. You see exactly where you fit instead of a single hidden number.

Daily matches delivered to your inbox every morning, plus on-demand matching whenever you want to pull a fresh set instead of waiting for the next day.

From one read of a job, it produces a tailored resume, a cover letter, the open screening answers, and an honest gap analysis, all in a single pass, so you are not running three separate tools per application.

It starts from proven resume templates and knows exactly what to change, add, and adapt for each role, rebuilding from your real experience around what the job asks for and the keywords it needs to clear the ATS.

No. Everything is built from your real history, and instead of inventing skills you do not have, the gap analysis openly shows where you fall short and how to frame what you do have.

It compares your profile against the role's requirements and names what you cover, where you over-qualify, and exactly what is missing, plus how to position yourself, so you decide whether to apply with eyes open.

Yes. You set the tone and what to emphasize, and it writes in your style, learning from the edits and answers you keep, so every application still sounds like you.

Every time you fill out an application, the open-ended answers you write, the "why this company" and "describe a challenge" type questions, are captured and saved to your bank in your own words, tagged by the kind of question they answer, so the next form can find them.

Everywhere you apply. When you write a new resume, cover letter, or answer, Jobless generates from what you have already said about yourself and offers options you pick from, and the browser extension pulls your saved answers straight into application forms, surfacing your strongest one for each field.

Open Story Bank, pick any answer, and read, rewrite, or delete it. Whatever you change becomes what gets reused next time, so your bank always reflects your best current phrasing.

Yes. The answers you reuse most rise to the top, and you can tell it why a match fit or did not, which sharpens both the answers it suggests and your future matches. It remembers the things that make you you.

Yes. Write the careful version once, an employment gap, a layoff, salary expectations, and reuse that exact wording every time it comes up, instead of improvising under pressure on a live form.

It supports Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, Recruitee, Teamtailor, Pinpoint, BambooHR, Personio, and SmartRecruiters, including supported forms on employer-owned and custom careers domains.

Both. It generates a resume and cover letter tailored to the job and uploads them straight into the form's file fields, then fills the text fields, dropdowns, and your saved answers.

Type your own answer, or let Jobless generate one, it finds the previous answers in your Story Bank that resemble the question and writes from those, so even a new question draws on how you have answered similar ones before. Whatever you write or accept is saved back for next time.

Yes. It remembers the jobs you have visited and applied to and saves your progress on a form, so nothing gets lost or submitted twice.

No. It fills supported fields on the application page; you review and edit them, then click submit yourself. Nothing is mass-submitted.

It reads your incoming recruiter mail, sorts each message by what it actually means, an interview invite, a rejection, an offer, moves the matching card on your tracker, and drops scheduled interviews onto your calendar, so your whole pipeline stays current on its own.

AI drafts the reply in your voice, pulling from what you have already said in your Story Bank and your positioning, in the tone you choose, or you can write it manually. It never invents a time, salary, or commitment you have not approved, and you edit every word before it goes anywhere.

No auto-send, ever. A reply goes out from your own mailbox only when you explicitly click send, every time. Nothing is sent, deleted, or scheduled without you.

It reads only your job-related mail, can send replies you approve, and can add interviews to your calendar. Personal email from friends, family, and newsletters is ignored, and you can disconnect anytime to revoke access.

The mailbox connection runs through Nylas, a third-party email infrastructure provider, so you can review exactly how mail and calendar data are accessed in their terms of service and privacy policy. Jobless only processes job-related messages and never sells or shares your data.
