JobIntel — Your Job Search Guide

Welcome to JobIntel. This guide walks you through everything you need to know, from setting up your account to landing an offer. No tech background required — just follow the steps.

Part 1: Getting Started (First-Time Setup)

The first time you use JobIntel, you'll set up your account, tell it about your skills, and add your first job listings. This takes about 10–15 minutes and makes everything that follows — scoring, matching, recommendations — work better.

Step 1: Create Your Account

Go to the JobIntel website and click Get Started.

Fill in your name, email, and a password (at least 8 characters — no special character requirements, just avoid common passwords). Click Create Account, and you'll land on your dashboard — your home base in JobIntel. You'll also receive a verification email — click the link to confirm your email address.

Already have an account? Just click Sign in instead.

Account Security

Your account is protected by several security measures:

  • Password hashing — Passwords are stored using Argon2id, the current industry standard
  • Login rate limiting — After 5 failed login attempts, your account is locked for 15 minutes to prevent brute-force attacks
  • Breach screening — During registration and password changes, your password is checked against known data breaches (via Have I Been Pwned). If found, you'll see a warning
  • Automatic session refresh — Your session stays active seamlessly with automatic token refresh
  • Change password — Go to Settings > Security tab to change your password at any time. All other sessions are signed out automatically
  • Email verification — A verification banner appears on your dashboard until you confirm your email. Verifying ensures you receive password resets and notifications
  • Change email — If you signed up with a work email and later leave that company, go to Settings > Profile and use the Email Address section to change to a personal email. You will need to verify the new address via a link sent to it. All your data stays intact — nothing is lost

Sign-In Options

JobIntel supports three ways to sign in. You can use any combination that suits you.

Password Sign-In

The standard method — enter your email and password on the login page and click Sign In. If you forget your password, click Forgot password? to receive a reset link by email.

Magic Link (Passwordless Email)

If you prefer not to type a password, click Sign in with email link on the login page. Enter your email address and click Send Sign-In Link. Check your inbox for an email with a one-click sign-in link. The link expires after 15 minutes. If you don't see the email, check your spam folder. You can request up to 3 magic links per hour.

Passkey (Biometric / Device Sign-In)

Passkeys let you sign in using your device's built-in security — fingerprint, face recognition, or your device PIN. No password to remember or type.

Setting up a passkey:

  1. Go to Settings > Security tab
  2. Find the Passkeys card and click Add Passkey
  3. Your browser will prompt you to create a passkey using your device's biometric sensor or PIN
  4. Give your passkey a name (e.g., "MacBook Pro" or "iPhone") so you can identify it later

Signing in with a passkey:

  1. On the login page, click Sign in with passkey
  2. Your browser will prompt you to authenticate using your fingerprint, face, or device PIN
  3. You're signed in — no password or email needed

You can register multiple passkeys (e.g., one for your laptop and one for your phone). Manage your passkeys from Settings > Security — you can rename or remove them at any time.

Note: Passkey support depends on your browser and device. Most modern browsers on macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android support passkeys. If the "Sign in with passkey" button doesn't appear, your browser may not support this feature.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

For extra security, you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) using an authenticator app like Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password.

Setting up 2FA:

  1. Go to Settings > Security tab
  2. Find the Two-Factor Authentication card and click Enable 2FA
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (or enter the setup key manually)
  4. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app to confirm setup
  5. Save your backup codes — you'll see a set of one-time-use backup codes. Store these somewhere safe (e.g., a password manager). Each backup code can be used once if you lose access to your authenticator app

Signing in with 2FA: When 2FA is enabled, after entering your email and password you'll be prompted for a verification code. Open your authenticator app and enter the current 6-digit code. If you can't access your authenticator app, click Use backup code and enter one of your saved backup codes.

Disabling 2FA: Go to Settings > Security and click Disable 2FA in the Two-Factor Authentication card.

Important notes about 2FA and passkeys:

  • If you sign in with a passkey, you won't be prompted for a 2FA code — passkeys already provide strong two-factor security (something you have + something you are)
  • If you sign in with a magic link, you also won't be prompted for 2FA — the email link already serves as a second factor
  • 2FA only applies to password-based sign-in

Account Recovery

If you're locked out of your account, here's how to regain access:

  • Forgot your password? Use the Forgot password? link on the login page. A reset link is sent to your registered email.
  • Lost access to your authenticator app? Use one of the backup codes you saved when setting up 2FA. Each code works once.
  • Lost your backup codes too? Contact support@jobintel.com for manual account recovery. You'll need to verify your identity.
  • Have a passkey set up? You can always sign in with your passkey, even if you forget your password or lose your authenticator app. Passkey sign-in bypasses both password and 2FA.
  • Have access to your email? Use the magic link option to sign in without a password.

Step 2: Set Up Your Profile

From the left sidebar, click Settings (gear icon). The Profile tab is shown by default. This is where you tell JobIntel what you're looking for so it can rank jobs in a way that's useful to you.

Fill in what you can — you can always come back and update this later:

  • Professional Headline — a short description of what you do (e.g., "Senior Project Manager" or "Data Analyst")
  • Location — where you're based (e.g., "Washington, DC")
  • Experience Level — choose between "Intern / Entry-Level" or "Professional (Mid-Senior)." This tailors which skills appear when you're building your profile.
  • Work Type Preference — remote, hybrid, on-site, or no preference
  • Salary Range — your minimum and target. Jobs that include salary information within your range will score higher in your feed.
  • Target Job Titles — the roles you're looking for, separated by commas (e.g., "Product Manager, Program Manager, Scrum Master")
  • Preferred Company Size — from startup to enterprise
  • Preferred Industries — the industries you're targeting, separated by commas (e.g., "Technology, Finance, Healthcare")

Click Save Profile when you're done.

Email Summaries: While you're here, you'll also see an option to receive periodic email digests summarizing your job search activity. You can choose daily, weekly, monthly, or turn them off.

Step 3: Add Your Skills

Click Skills in the sidebar. Your skill profile is the foundation of how JobIntel matches you to jobs. There are two ways to build it:

Option A: Upload Your Resume (Recommended)

This is the fastest way. Scroll down to the Resume Scan section and upload your resume (PDF or Word format).

JobIntel reads your resume and pulls out the skills it finds. You'll see a list of extracted skills, each with a confidence level. Skills that match JobIntel's database will have checkboxes — review the list, check or uncheck as needed, and click Add Selected Skills.

After the upload, you may also see a Resume Best Practice Guidance section. These are suggestions for strengthening your resume — things like quantifying achievements, using action verbs, or improving formatting. These are recommendations, not requirements. Your resume is your call.

Option B: Browse and Add Skills Manually

If you prefer, you can build your skill profile by hand. Use the Search bar to find specific skills, or browse by category using the tabs (e.g., Programming Languages, Cloud Platforms, Project Management, Soft Skills).

Click any skill to add it to your profile. You can also set a default proficiency level (Beginner through Expert) and years of experience before adding skills.

Your Skills appear as tags at the top of the page. Click the × on any skill to remove it.

Step 4: Add Your First Job Listings

Now that your profile is set up, it's time to add some jobs. Click Jobs in the sidebar to open your Job Feed.

Click the + Add Job button in the top right. You'll see four tabs:

URL Tab — Paste a Link

If you found a job listing online, copy the web address from your browser and paste it into the URL field. Click Add Job. JobIntel will visit the page, read the job description, and pull out the key details automatically — title, company, location, salary, required skills, and more.

Good news: This works with most company career pages, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, and many other job sites.

Heads up: Some sites block automated reading. If you see an error like "Website blocked this request" or "Website requires login," use the Text or Screenshot tab instead — copy the job description and paste it directly. This is the most reliable method and works with any source.

Common URL errors and what they mean:

  • "Page not found" — The job posting may have been removed. Check the URL.
  • "Website took too long to respond" — The site is slow or blocking automated access. Use the Text tab instead.
  • "Website requires login" — The job board requires authentication. Copy the text and paste it.
  • "AI service is busy / took too long" — Our AI is temporarily overloaded. Wait a moment and try again.

Text Tab — Paste the Job Description

For job listings on sites that don't support direct fetching, or for job descriptions you received in an email or PDF:

  1. Open the job listing in your browser (or email)
  2. Select and copy the full job description text
  3. In JobIntel, click the Text tab
  4. Paste the text and click Add Job

JobIntel reads the pasted content and extracts the same details it would from a URL — title, company, skills, and everything else.

Screenshot Tab — Upload a Screenshot

If you have a screenshot of a job listing (from your phone, a PDF, or a website you can't copy text from):

  1. Click the Screenshot tab
  2. Drag and drop your image, click Browse to select a file, or paste from your clipboard
  3. Click Add Job

JobIntel uses AI vision to read the screenshot and extract job details automatically. Supports PNG, JPG, GIF, and WebP images up to 10MB. If the screenshot contains multiple job listings (like a job alert), JobIntel will extract all of them.

Find Tab — Search Job Boards

Use the built-in Job Posting Finder to search multiple job sources at once:

  1. Click the Find tab
  2. Enter a job title and optional location
  3. Browse results and click Import on any listing to add it to your feed

Free accounts get 3 searches per day; Pro accounts get 20.

After adding a job, you'll see a success message. JobIntel then analyzes the job in the background — matching it against your skills, scoring its credibility, and calculating your overall readiness. This takes a few seconds. You'll see an "Analyzing..." indicator on the job card until it's done.

Part 2: Checking Your Job Feed

Once you've added some jobs, your Job Feed (click Jobs in the sidebar) becomes your daily check-in point. Here's how to get the most out of it.

Understanding Your Job Cards

Each job in your feed shows a card with the basics: job title, company, location, work type, salary (if available), and when it was posted. You'll also see up to three colored score badges:

  • Readiness Score — your overall fit for this job, combining skill match, posting quality, freshness, company reputation, and how well it matches your preferences. This is the big-picture number.
  • Match Score — specifically how well your skills line up with what the job asks for.
  • Credibility Score — how legitimate and well-written the posting appears. This helps you avoid ghost postings, vague descriptions, and suspicious listings.

Jobs that appear on multiple sources will show a note like "Found on 3 sources" — a good sign that the listing is genuine.

Sorting and Filtering

Use the Sort dropdown to order your feed by readiness score, match score, credibility, newest, post date, or company name.

Use the Filters panel to narrow your feed by location, date range, company, score range, or source.

Viewing Job Details

Click any job card to see the full picture. The detail page includes:

  • Skill Breakdown — which of the job's required skills you already have (shown in green) and which ones you're missing (shown as gaps). This is incredibly useful for deciding whether to apply and for tailoring your application.
  • Resume Tips — specific suggestions for how to present your experience for this particular job.
  • Credibility Breakdown — what factors went into the credibility score (company verification, job quality, salary transparency, freshness).
  • Readiness Breakdown — how each component (skill match, credibility, freshness, company reputation, preference alignment) contributed to your overall readiness score.
  • Company Research — background on the employer including industry, size, headquarters, and hiring signals. (Pro plan)
  • Market Signals — if other JobIntel users are also tracking this job, you'll see how many people are watching it, how many sources it appears on, and how long it's been on the market. This helps you gauge competition and legitimacy.
  • Company Notes — a space for your own research notes about the company.
  • Full Description — the complete job posting text.

Customizing How Jobs Are Ranked

If you want to change what matters most in your readiness score, go to Settings (gear icon) and scroll to the Readiness Score Weights section on the Profile tab. You'll find sliders for each component (skill match, credibility, freshness, company reputation, preference alignment). Adjust them to reflect your priorities — for example, bump up skill match if you want to focus on roles where you're the strongest fit, or increase credibility if avoiding dubious postings is your top priority.

The sliders must add up to 100%. When you save, all your job readiness scores recalculate automatically.

Keeping Your Feed Fresh

There are several ways new jobs appear in your feed:

  • Add them yourself — paste a URL or text any time you find a new listing

  • Email forwarding (Pro plan) — set up automatic forwarding from job alert emails (Google Jobs, LinkedIn, etc.) to your personal JobIntel ingestion address. Find your forwarding address on the Settings page (Profile tab), with setup instructions for Gmail and Outlook. Important: Email forwarding is a background process — jobs appear in your feed within a few minutes, but there is no instant confirmation. Check your Job Feed after forwarding. If a forwarded email doesn't produce any jobs, the email format may not have been recognized; try using the Text or Screenshot tab instead.

    LinkedIn job alerts: LinkedIn emails include job titles, companies, and locations but not the full job description. When you forward a LinkedIn alert, JobIntel automatically searches the web for the complete job posting — typically on the company's careers page. If found, the description is attached and the job is scored normally. If the posting is only available on LinkedIn, the job appears with a "LinkedIn only" label and limited scoring. This enrichment happens automatically within a few minutes of forwarding.

  • Auto Search (Pro plan) — go to Auto Search in the sidebar and set up saved searches with your target job titles and locations. Auto Search supports 8 countries: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, and Spain.

    Setting up locations: Each location has a country selector — pick your country first, then type a city name or postal code. For the US, type a city like "Reston" or a ZIP code like "20170." For the UK, type a city or outward code like "SW1." For European countries, type a city or postal code in the local format (e.g., "10115" for Berlin, "28001" for Madrid). Pick from the suggestions that appear.

    Radius controls: Each location has its own radius slider (5–100). The unit automatically switches based on country — miles for the US and UK, kilometers for European countries. A map below the locations shows your search areas as circles, so you can see exactly where you're searching.

    How it works: Remote and hybrid jobs always appear regardless of radius. JobIntel checks for new listings daily and adds them to your feed automatically, removing duplicates of jobs you've already added.

Skill Trends

Click Trends in the sidebar to see which skills are most in-demand across the jobs in your feed, which skills are emerging, and where you might have gaps worth closing. (Pro plan)

Part 3: Managing Your Applications

When you find a job you want to pursue, it's time to move from browsing to tracking. The Applications page (click Applications in the sidebar) is your application board — a visual board that shows where every opportunity stands.

Adding a Job to Your Tracker

From any job's detail page, click Track This Job to create an application entry. It starts in the Interested stage — meaning you've flagged it as worth pursuing but haven't applied yet.

Quick-Track from the Job Feed

You can track jobs directly from the feed without opening each one. Every job card shows a bookmark icon — click it to instantly track the job as "Interested." The icon changes to a filled bookmark once tracked.

Bulk Tracking with Select Mode

To track multiple jobs at once:

  1. Click Select in the job feed toolbar
  2. Check the boxes next to the jobs you want to track
  3. A floating bar appears at the bottom showing how many jobs are selected
  4. Click Track Selected to track all selected jobs at once
  5. Click Cancel to exit select mode without tracking

Application Stages

Your application board has five active stages, displayed as columns on the board:

  1. Interested — you've flagged this job as one to pursue
  2. Applied — you've submitted your application
  3. Phone Screen — you've been contacted for an initial call
  4. Interview — you're in the interview process
  5. Offer — you've received an offer

There are also two terminal stages: Rejected (they passed) and Withdrawn (you passed). These are hidden by default but you can expand them.

Moving Jobs Through the Stages

As your status changes with an employer, update it in JobIntel. On each application card in the board view, there's a status dropdown — just select the new stage. You can also change it from the application detail page.

At the top of the Applications page, you'll see summary cards showing your total applications, how many are in the Applied stage, your interview rate, and your offer rate. These update in real-time as you move jobs through the stages.

Application Detail Page

Click any application card to open its detail page, where you can:

  • Update the status — move it to the next stage
  • Add notes — keep track of who you talked to, what they said, key dates, or anything else. Notes appear as a timeline on the detail page, shown in reverse chronological order with timestamps. You can delete notes you no longer need.
  • Record the applied date — when you submitted your application
  • Set a next follow-up date — so you don't forget to check in
  • Add a company contact — the name and title of your main contact (e.g., "Jane Smith, Engineering Manager")
  • View the status timeline — a chronological record of every stage change, with timestamps

Outreach Intelligence (Pro Plan)

Each application detail page also gives you tools to be more strategic in your outreach:

Contact Suggestions — JobIntel generates suggestions for who might be involved in the hiring process at the company (e.g., likely hiring managers or recruiters), along with tips for how to reach them. These are educated guesses, not verified contacts — always confirm before reaching out.

Research Talking Points — tailored talking points based on the company's profile, industry context, recent news, and the specific role. Use these to prepare for networking conversations, write better cover letters, or go into interviews with more confidence.

Follow-Up Reminders — never lose track of an opportunity. Click Add Reminder and choose a type (Follow-up, Thank You, or Check-in), set a date, and optionally add a note about what you want to do. You'll receive an email when the reminder is due. Active reminders appear on both the application detail page and your dashboard.

Part 3b: Mock Interviews — Practice Before the Real Thing

Once you have jobs in your tracker, use Mock Interviews to practice before the real conversation. JobIntel creates a realistic interview simulation tailored to the specific job and your resume, with an AI interviewer who asks targeted questions and gives you feedback.

Starting a Mock Interview

Click Interviews in the sidebar, then click New Interview. You can start an interview from scratch or launch one directly from a job listing or application detail page (look for the Practice Interview button).

Choose your settings:

  • Interview Type — Recruiter Screen, Hiring Manager, or Peer Technical
  • Format — STAR Behavioral, Technical, Case Study, Mixed, and more
  • Difficulty — Standard, Challenging, or Intense
  • Feedback Mode — Inline (feedback after each answer) or End (debrief at the end)
  • Number of Questions — 5 to 15

Click Start Interview to begin. The AI interviewer introduces themselves and asks the first question.

Responding to Questions

You have two ways to answer each question:

Typing Your Response

Type your answer in the text box and click Send. This is the default input method.

Using Voice Input

Click the microphone button next to the text box to use voice input. Here is how it works:

  1. Click the mic button — your browser may ask for microphone permission the first time. Allow it.
  2. Speak your answer — talk as you would in a real interview. A timer shows how long you have been recording.
  3. Click Stop when you are done speaking.
  4. Review the transcript — your spoken words appear as text in the input box. Read through it and make any corrections.
  5. Click Send to submit your response.

Tips for better voice input:

  • Speak clearly at a natural pace. You do not need to speak slowly, but avoid rushing.
  • Use a quiet environment. Background noise can affect transcription quality.
  • Review before sending. The transcript is usually accurate, but check for any words that were misheard — especially names, technical terms, or acronyms.
  • All modern browsers are supported. Voice input works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop and mobile.

You can switch between voice and text input at any time during the interview — use whichever feels more natural for each question.

During the Interview

After each response, the AI interviewer may:

  • Give you feedback (in Inline mode) — a score, strengths, and areas to improve
  • Ask a follow-up — if your answer was brief or missed key details
  • Move to the next question — with a natural transition

If your answer is very short, the interviewer will ask you to elaborate.

Your Debrief

When the interview ends, you receive a detailed debrief with:

  • Overall score and assessment
  • Per-question breakdown — score, strengths, and improvement suggestions for each answer
  • Recurring themes — patterns the AI noticed across your answers (both strengths and areas to work on)
  • Preparation recommendations — specific topics to study before the real interview
  • Input mode summary — if you used voice input, the debrief notes how many responses were voice vs. text

Free vs. Pro

Free accounts get 2 mock interview sessions per month with up to 5 questions each (Recruiter Screen format only). Pro accounts get unlimited sessions with all interview types, formats, difficulty levels, and question counts.

Part 4: Getting to an Offer

The ultimate goal of all this is landing the right job. Here's how JobIntel supports you in the final stretch.

Preparing for Interviews

When you move an application to the Interview stage, revisit the application detail page and use the Research Talking Points to prepare. These are customized based on the company and role, giving you material for intelligent questions and conversation topics.

Check the Skill Breakdown on the original job listing to remind yourself which of your skills to emphasize — and which gaps you might need to address or spin.

Set a Thank You reminder for after each interview so you remember to follow up promptly.

Evaluating an Offer

When you receive an offer, update the application status to Offer. At this point, the job detail page gives you everything you need to make an informed decision:

  • Revisit the Company Research for context on the employer
  • Check your notes from the interview process
  • Review the salary information against your stated range in your profile
  • Look at Market Signals to understand how competitive the role was

After You Accept

Once you've accepted an offer — congratulations! You can leave the application in the Offer stage as a record of your successful search. For any other active applications, update them to Withdrawn so your tracker reflects reality.

Your full application history, notes, timeline, and all associated data remain in JobIntel for your reference — nothing is deleted.

Account Deletion and Re-Registration

You can request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data from the Settings page (Preferences tab), under "Your Data".

How Deletion Works

  1. Click Delete My Data and follow the two-step confirmation (warning screen, then type DELETE to confirm).
  2. Your account enters a 7-day grace period during which erasure is pending but not yet executed.
  3. During the grace period, you can cancel the deletion by logging in and following the cancellation prompt.
  4. After the grace period, your data is permanently and irreversibly anonymized.

Re-Registering After Deletion

If you previously requested account deletion and try to register with the same email address, you will be notified that a pending deletion exists. You can choose to cancel the deletion and create a fresh account (no previous data carries over), or cancel the registration. If the grace period has passed and your data was fully erased, you can register normally as a new user.

Version 1.0 — Known Limitations

JobIntel v1.0 is the initial release of the platform. While we've worked hard to make every feature reliable, there are some known limitations to be aware of:

Job Ingestion

  • URL fetching depends on the target website. Some job boards (especially LinkedIn, Indeed, and ZipRecruiter) block automated page reading. If a URL doesn't work, copy the job description text and use the Text tab — this is the most reliable ingestion method and works with any source.
  • AI extraction is best-effort. JobIntel uses AI to read job postings and extract structured data (title, company, skills, salary, etc.). Occasionally, the AI may miss details or misinterpret information. You can always edit job details manually from the job detail page.
  • Email forwarding has no instant confirmation. When you forward a job alert email, processing happens in the background. Jobs typically appear in your feed within 1–5 minutes. LinkedIn emails may take slightly longer because JobIntel searches the web for the full job description. There is currently no confirmation email or notification when processing completes or fails. If you don't see the job after a few minutes, the email format may not have been recognized — try the Text or Screenshot tab instead.
  • Email format support. Email forwarding currently recognizes Google Jobs alerts, LinkedIn job alerts, and most plain-text job descriptions. Other formats (e.g., custom newsletters, heavily styled HTML emails) may not be parsed correctly. We're continually improving format coverage.
  • LinkedIn description enrichment. Some LinkedIn job postings are only available on LinkedIn and don't appear on other job boards. In these cases, JobIntel can extract the title, company, and location but not the full description. These jobs appear with a "LinkedIn only" label and have limited scoring.

Scoring & Matching

  • Scores require skills setup. Match scores only appear after you've added your skills (Step 3 in Getting Started). Without skills configured, jobs will show "No score" for match.
  • Credibility scoring is heuristic-based. The credibility score evaluates posting quality, source reliability, and description completeness. It's a helpful signal but not a guarantee — always do your own research on a company before applying.

Search & Find

  • Job Posting Finder searches external sources. Results depend on the availability of third-party job APIs. If the search returns no results, the external sources may be temporarily unavailable — try again later or use a different search term.
  • Daily search limits apply. Free accounts: 3 searches/day. Pro accounts: 20 searches/day. Limits reset daily at midnight UTC.

General

  • This is a v1.0 release. We're actively developing new features and fixing issues. If something doesn't work as expected, please submit a Support ticket or send Feedback — we read every submission and respond promptly.

Quick Reference

Free vs. Pro

JobIntel offers a free tier and a Pro tier ($8.99/month, $23.99/quarter, or $79.99/year).

What's free: Adding jobs by URL or text paste (up to 50 active listings), basic skill matching, and market signals.

Manage your subscription from Settings in the sidebar (gear icon), then click the Billing tab. Billing is handled securely through Stripe. If your payment lapses, you keep your data — your account just downgrades to the free tier until payment resumes.

Chrome Extension

The JobIntel browser extension shows you which job listings are worth your time before you click on them. When you browse search results on supported job boards, the extension automatically scores every visible listing and displays a color-coded badge right next to the job title. Green means great match. Blue means strong. Amber means fair. Gray means low. No more guessing which jobs are worth applying to.

How to Install

Chrome: Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for "JobIntel." Click "Add to Chrome," then "Add extension." The JobIntel icon appears in your toolbar.

Firefox: Go to Firefox Add-ons and search for "JobIntel." Click "Add to Firefox," then "Add." The JobIntel icon appears in your toolbar.

Edge: Go to the Edge Add-ons store and search for "JobIntel." Click "Get," then "Add extension." The JobIntel icon appears in your toolbar.

Try It for Free (No Account Needed)

After installing, go to any supported job board (like indeed.com) and search for jobs. Score badges appear automatically next to each listing — that's your free taste-test scan, no sign-up required.

Connect Your Account

After your free scan, connect your JobIntel account for more. Click the JobIntel icon in your toolbar, click "Sign In to JobIntel," and log in with your existing account. The extension then uses your skill profile for more accurate matching.

Using the Extension

Just browse any supported job board normally. The extension works automatically — score badges appear next to each listing. Click any badge to open a sidebar panel with:

  • Match Score — how well the job matches your skills, with a visual bar
  • Credibility Rating — High, Medium, Low, or Unknown
  • Ghost Signals — if the job might not be real (reposted frequently, no company info, etc.)
  • Duplicate Detection — tells you if this job is already in your dashboard

Saving Jobs

See a job you like? Click the star icon (☆) next to the score badge. It changes to a checkmark (✓) — the job is now in your dashboard, where it goes through the full analysis pipeline (deduplication, skill matching, and scoring) just like any other job you add.

Troubleshooting

  • Scores aren't appearing — Make sure you're on a search results page (not a single job listing). Try refreshing the page.
  • "Daily limit reached" — Free accounts get 3 scans per day. The limit resets at midnight UTC. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited scans.
  • "Sign in to save jobs" — You need to connect your JobIntel account to save jobs. Click the extension icon and click "Sign In to JobIntel."
  • Badges appear then disappear — Some job boards refresh their content after loading. Try scrolling down and back up, or refresh the page.
  • Extension not working on a site — The extension supports the 9 job boards listed above. It won't activate on other sites like LinkedIn or Monster.
  • How to uninstall — Go to your browser's extensions page (chrome://extensions, about:addons, or edge://extensions), find JobIntel, and click "Remove." This deletes all locally stored data.

Privacy

The extension only reads job listing data (title, company, location, URL) from supported job boards. It does not collect your browsing history, personal information, or data from other websites. You can disable usage analytics in the extension settings (click the gear icon in the popup). See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Content Marketing Console (Team Members Only)

If you've been invited to the Content Marketing team, you'll have access to the Content Marketing console at /content-marketing. This is a separate dashboard for managing multi-channel content distribution — blog posts, LinkedIn, Substack, carousels, and more.

How to get access: A team admin sends you an invitation link. Click the link, sign in (or create an account), and you'll be added to the content team automatically. Invitation links expire after 7 days.

What you can do:

  • Calendar — See the full publishing schedule across all channels (blog, LinkedIn, Substack, Reddit, etc.) in week or month view.
  • Inbox — View manual publishing tasks that need your attention. Open the content, copy it, publish it on the target platform, then mark it as done.
  • Content Library — Browse synced blog posts, view channel distribution status, and read content directly.
  • Analytics — Track impressions, clicks, and engagement across channels.
  • Team — Invite new team members and manage access.

For detailed instructions, see the Content Marketing Operations Runbook.

Being Coached (Beta)

If a career coach invites you to connect on JobIntel, here's what you need to know.

Accepting a Coach Invitation

Your coach will send you a link. Click it, and you'll see your coach's name and a description of their practice. If you already have a JobIntel account, sign in. If you're new, you'll create an account during the process.

When you accept, you're agreeing to share certain job search data with your coach. You'll see exactly what will be shared before you confirm.

What Your Coach Can See

Once connected, your coach can view (but never edit):

  • Your job listings and match scores
  • Your application progress and stages
  • Your skills and skill categories
  • Your resume sections and extracted skills
  • Your profile basics (name, headline, location)

What Your Coach Cannot See

No matter what, your coach can never access:

  • Your billing or payment information
  • Your support conversations
  • Your security settings (password, passkeys, 2FA)
  • Notes you've marked as personal

Pro Features at No Extra Cost

When you're connected to a coach, you automatically get access to all Pro features — even if you're on the free plan. This includes unlimited job listings, credibility scoring, skill demand trends, and application tracking. This lasts as long as the coaching relationship is active.

Your Privacy Controls

You're always in control. Go to Settings > Preferences and find the Coaching card:

  • Pause Visibility — Temporarily hide all your data from your coach. Your coach will see you in their "Paused" list but can't view your dashboard. You can resume at any time.
  • Section Controls — Choose exactly what to share. Toggle Skills, Applications, and Resume on or off individually. A summary shows what's visible and what's hidden.
  • Personal Notes — When adding notes to job applications, you can mark any note as "personal" — your coach won't see it.
  • Disconnect — End the coaching relationship permanently. If your Pro features came through the coach, you'll have 7 days to subscribe on your own. All your data stays intact — nothing is ever deleted.

Resources from Your Coach

If your coach shares documents or video links with you, they'll appear as a "Resources from Your Coach" card on your dashboard. Documents can be downloaded and videos open in a new tab.

Getting Help
