Privacy Policy

What we collect

When you create an account we store your name, email address and password (hashed, never in readable form). If you build a candidate profile we store what you enter: headline, bio, links, phone number and location, education and work history, projects, certifications, skills, salary, work-type and location preferences, and any documents you upload or build, such as a CV. If you post jobs, we store your company details and the postings themselves.

If you sign up or sign in with Google or GitHub, that service tells us your name and email address, which it has already checked is yours, and gives us an ID number for your account there, which we keep so we recognise you next time. We never see your password there, we keep no access to your account there, and we ask for nothing else from it. You can disconnect it in your security settings once you have another way to sign in.

We also record which job postings you open while signed in, so your dashboard can show you what you were last looking at, and the jobs you save, with when you saved them, so your saved list can put the latest first. A search you keep as a job alert is stored with how often you want its email.

Whenever anyone opens a job posting, signed in or not, we add one to that posting's view count for the day, which the company that posted it can see. The count holds no name, account or address. So that the same visit is not counted twice, your browser session remembers which postings it has already been counted for that day; nothing more is kept.

Your browser tells us its time zone, such as Asia/Dhaka, in a small cookie, so that dates and times are shown in your own time. If you are signed in, your account keeps a copy, so our emails use it too. You can choose a time zone yourself in your profile settings.

Who can see it

Your candidate profile and your uploaded documents are private until you apply for a job. When you apply, the company you applied to can see your profile and the CV you attached to that application — nobody else. Documents are served through an access check every time, so a file address alone is not enough to open it. Your salary and work-type preferences are never shown to employers, even when you apply, and neither are the phone number and location on your profile: they appear only on a CV you build from your profile and choose to send. The exceptions are a CV you ask our AI to read, and the parts of your profile you ask our AI to explain a match with or to improve the wording of: these are sent to Anthropic, as described below.

Job postings and company profiles are public, and are indexed by search engines. Your candidate profile is not.

Filling your profile from your CV

When you fill your profile from a CV in your library, we first read it ourselves, on our own servers: we look for skills from our list and for your LinkedIn, GitHub and portfolio links. Nothing is sent anywhere for this.

If your plan includes it, you can also ask our AI to read the CV, to suggest your headline, summary, phone number, location, roles and education. Only then, and only that CV, is sent to Anthropic, which reads it on our behalf as our processor: a PDF is sent as the file, a Word file as its text. The suggestions come back to us and wait an hour for you to choose from; nothing is added to your profile unless you tick it. We keep a record that a reading happened, to count it against your plan's allowance, but not what the CV or the suggestions said.

Anthropic does not use what we send it to train its models (Anthropic: model training). By default it deletes it within 30 days. If its automated safety systems flag it as breaking Anthropic's Usage Policy, it may keep it for up to two years (Anthropic: data retention).

How you match a job

On a job's page we compare the job with your skills, work history and job preferences, on our own servers, and show the result to you alone. An employer sees only how many of the job's skills you have, never your preferences or how the rest compares. Nothing is sent anywhere for this.

If your plan includes it, you can also ask our AI to explain the match in words. Only then is the following sent to Anthropic, which reads it on our behalf as our processor: the job posting, your headline, about text, skills, work history and education, and our own comparison. Your name, contact details, photos, links, CVs, where you live and salary expectations are not sent. The explanation is shown only to you, never to employers, and never changes your match or where you appear. We keep it for a day, so you can come back to it, and then delete it; we keep a record that one was made, to count it against your plan's allowance, but not what it said. Anthropic handles what we send the same way as a CV it reads, above.

Building a CV

The CV builder makes a CV from your profile on our own servers. Nothing is sent anywhere for this. Your salary and work-type preferences are never on it, and your phone number and location appear only on CVs you build. A CV you save goes into your documents like one you upload, where your 4 most recent CVs are kept; downloading gives you the file without keeping a copy.

If your plan includes it, you can also ask our AI to suggest better wording. Only then is the following sent to Anthropic, which reads it on our behalf as our processor: your headline, summary, roles with their descriptions, education and skills. Your name, email address, phone number, location, links, photo and preferences are not sent. The suggestions wait an hour for you to choose from and are then deleted. Only the ones you tick are written to your profile, which is what an employer sees when you apply, so check that each one is true before you apply it. We keep a record that suggestions were made, to count them against your plan's allowance, but not what they said. Anthropic handles what we send the same way as a CV it reads, above.

Reviewing a job posting

If its plan includes it, a company's owners and managers can ask our AI to suggest improvements to one of its job postings. Only then is the following sent to Anthropic, which reads it on our behalf as our processor: the posting as the company wrote it, and totals for it such as views and applications. Nothing about any applicant is sent — no names, CVs, answers or individual match scores. The suggestions are shown to the company's team for a day and then deleted; they never change the posting, and an edited posting is reviewed again before it goes live. Anthropic handles what we send the same way as a CV it reads, above.

Reviewing a company's hiring process

If you applied to a company here, you can review how it handled your application once you get a decision, reach an interview, or go 30 days without an answer. Someone on our team reads every review before it appears, and again after every edit.

On the company's page a review shows your ratings, your headline and text, the words “Verified applicant” and the month it was published — never your name, the job you applied for, the outcome or the day. The company cannot see who wrote it. Our staff can see the application behind it, because checking that a review comes from a real application is part of their job; staff who work at that company cannot. You can edit or delete your review at any time.

The company can publish one answer under your review. We read it before it appears, and do not publish an answer that names you, describes you, or threatens you. Deleting your review removes the answer with it.

Before our team reads a review or a company's answer, our AI may read it first and point out anything that might break our review rules. For this, Anthropic is sent the review's ratings, headline and text and the company's name — and for an answer, the answer and the review it replies to. Nothing about who wrote either is sent. The AI never publishes or rejects anything: a person decides every time. Its note is shown only to our staff and is removed when the text is edited; we also keep a record that a reading happened, which counts against no one's plan. Anthropic handles what we send the same way as a CV it reads, above.

A company's page can also say that it answers applications quickly. That is worked out from when the company first moved or decided each application, across all of them together — it says nothing about any one applicant.

Keeping and deleting it

You can delete your account from your account settings. Deletion is not instant: the account is switched off first, and signing in again within 30 days restores it. After that we erase your personal data for good — your name, email address, profile, photos, uploaded and built files, cover letters and answers, and your reviews of companies with any answers to them — and keep only an anonymous record that an application was made, so employers' and our own numbers stay correct. Until then, applications you have already submitted keep the copy of the CV you attached at the time. Answers you wrote to reviews on a company's behalf stay up, as the company's, with nothing linking them to you.

Writing to us

When you write to us through the contact page, we keep your name, email address, the topic and your message, our reply, and which account you were signed in to, if any. Only our staff can read them, and we use them to answer you and for nothing else. We keep a message for 12 months after we close it, in case you write back about it, and then delete it. Erasing your account deletes your messages straight away.

To ask what we hold about you, or to have it corrected or erased, write to us about your data and privacy.

What we do not do

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers. Email from us is limited to what the service needs: account and verification mail, updates about applications you filed or received, and answers to messages you send us.
