JobScout AI Platform

Getting JobScout Ready on Your PC

So, you want to run JobScout on your PC? That’s a solid move. Our platform is fully web-based, meaning no downloads needed—just jump in through your browser. We recommend using Chrome or Firefox for the smoothest AI features. Just make sure your internet is steady because our system does a lot behind the scenes, from parsing your CV to scoring job relevance.

From our experience, having these specs really helps the AI run without hiccups. But here’s the thing: even if your setup is basic, you can still get a lot out of our platform.

Creating Your JobScout Account

Signing up is quick and painless. Head over to jobscout-career.com, then:

1. Click the “Sign Up” button on the homepage
2. Fill in your email and create a strong password
3. Pick a username you’ll actually remember
4. Verify your email through the link we send you

The verification step? It’s key. That’s when our AI starts analyzing your profile to deliver tailored job matches.

Setting Up Your Profile Right

Once verified, spend some time filling out your profile thoroughly. The more info you provide, the smarter the AI gets at matching you with the right jobs. Include:

• Work history going back 5-7 years
• Skills and certifications
• Location and salary preferences
• Remote work options
• Industry focus

You can upload your resume or link your LinkedIn profile to pull in extra data. Plus, our built-in resume builder can help you create polished resumes instantly, which some users swear by.

Navigating the JobScout Dashboard

After logging in, you’ll see the dashboard—your job search HQ. It’s designed to be simple but powerful, with key sections like:

Main Navigation Areas

• Job Recommendations Panel: Personalized matches based not just on keywords but on deeper factors like company culture and salary fit.
• Application Pipeline: Tracks every step—from jobs you’re interested in to interviews and offers.
• Profile Management: Easy to update your info anytime, which helps keep those recommendations sharp.

Setting Up Your Job Search Filters

Filters help the AI understand what you want. You can adjust:

• Location preferences (city, state, remote)
• Salary range
• Job type (full-time, part-time, contract)
• Industry and company size

What’s cool is the AI learns from your actions—skip certain jobs, and it tweaks suggestions to fit you better.

Your Daily Job Search Workflow

Keeping a routine can really boost your results. Here’s a breakdown that works well for lots of users:

Morning Routine (15-20 minutes)

• Check new AI-generated job matches refreshed overnight

The “Interested” list is handy for saving jobs you want to revisit later.

Afternoon Check-In (10-15 minutes)

• Update your application statuses
• Reply to recruiter messages
• Review your progress metrics to see what’s working

Our platform tracks your time-to-hire and response rates, so you get real insights into your job search effectiveness.
