Jobfinder

What's new

The latest improvements to job finder.

  1. Pick your plan without leaving the app

    New

    • Setting a new password now signs you out on your other devices. If you reset because someone else might have had your password, they no longer stay signed in.
    • Passwords now need to be at least 12 characters, and finishing a reset tells you it worked instead of leaving you guessing.
    • Every page can now explain itself. Press ? and choose “Tour this page” for a short walkthrough of whichever screen you are on - the pipeline, your sources, your profile or settings.
    • “Keep me signed in” on the login screen. Tick it on your own machine and you stop being signed out after 30 minutes idle; leave it off on a shared one. You can change your mind in Settings.
    • All three plans are now on your settings page, with your current one marked. Changing plan goes to the billing portal, and there is no way to accidentally buy a second subscription.
    • Setting up your profile now starts with a link. Paste a job you would actually apply for and we read it to fill in your stack, level, locations and salary floor - then you check it over and change whatever you disagree with.
    • Archive enough postings from the same company and the archive page offers to stop showing them. It only ever asks - nothing is filtered until you say so, and if you say no it stops asking.
    • Connecting Telegram is now one tap. No more looking up your numeric chat ID and pasting it in - though you still can if you prefer.
    • Tailor your CV for a specific posting: which of its keywords your CV already has, which highlights to lead with, and the gaps it cannot cover. Suggestions only - your saved CV is never changed. It shares the same application slot as the cover letter, so preparing one application still costs one.

    Fixed

    • Resetting your password works again. The emailed link used to drop you on the home page instead of the page where you pick a new one, with no way to finish.
    • Emails from us - password resets, sign-up confirmations - now actually arrive, and come from Jobfinder rather than a generic address.
    • Running out of weekly applications used to tell you to upgrade with nowhere to do it. The message now takes you straight to the plans.
    • Finishing setup now starts you off tracking a spread of company boards, so your queue fills up straight away instead of staying empty until you pick some yourself. If you have already chosen your own, nothing changes.
    • Locations in setup are now one per line. Typing "Berlin, Germany" filed the country as a separate location and sent the wrong constraint to scoring.
  2. Track the companies you actually care about

    New

    • Paste a Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby careers link to track any company, not just the ones on our list.
    • We check the board really returns postings before adding it, so a mistyped link is rejected with a reason instead of quietly never sending you anything.
    • The sources list is searchable, and now leads with what a company actually is rather than its raw slug.
    • Filter the list down to just the sources you track.
    • On a job, the buttons you act with - status, open & apply, write a letter, copy it - now stay beside you as you read instead of sitting at the far end of the page.
    • The job posting itself is now shown in full rather than hidden behind a toggle, so you can read what the score is actually about.
    • Set a reminder to chase an application, and the pipeline opens with what is due today - including anything you missed.
    • Record what a company said. A rejection files the job away and stops the reminders; silence past the usual wait shows as no reply, without you having to mark it.
    • Sort the queue by best match, newest, or the old queue order - best match is now the default, so scored jobs lead instead of being buried behind everything waiting to be scored.
    • Filter to jobs posted in the last day, three days, week or month.
    • The score filter can now exclude unscored jobs entirely, so asking for 70+ really means 70+.
    • Every job now gets a second, independent opinion from a different AI model. You can see both numbers, and a warning when they disagree - which is the honest signal that a score is less certain than it looks.
    • Set your preferences with real fields - what you work in, level, working style, locations, what to avoid - instead of hand-writing markdown. Your preferences document is written for you from them.
    • On a phone, swipe a job right to shortlist it or left to archive it - the same two actions as the buttons, without hunting for them.

    Fixed

    • Jobs older than 90 days are no longer collected or scored. Some postings in the queue were over four years old.
    • Newly published jobs are now scored before older ones that happened to be collected recently.
    • Scoring no longer stops for the rest of the day when one model hits its limit; it falls back to others and keeps going.
    • Scoring runs three times as often, so a backlog clears in under an hour instead of most of a day.
    • The version number in the sidebar now links here.
    • Importing a CV when the daily AI limit is used up now says so, instead of claiming your file could not be read.
  3. See why a job scored the way it did

    New

    • Click a score to see the four dimensions behind it, the summary and any red flags - no page load.
    • Every row now shows the one-line reason and the pay range, so you can decide without opening the posting.
    • Disagree with a score? Tell us, and say what it should have been.
    • Archive everything matching your current filter in one go, with an undo if you change your mind.
    • The sources page now shows how many postings were filtered out and why, each reason linking to the setting that would widen it.
    • An empty queue now says which kind of empty it is - all caught up, no sources tracked, or nothing scored yet.
    • Job postings that have been taken down now drop out of your queue, and are marked as closed in the archive.
    • Download everything in your account as a single file, from Settings.

    Fixed

    • A failed payment now shows a banner while there is still time to fix it, instead of one email you might miss.
    • If your profile is incomplete, we now tell you scoring is paused instead of quietly sending you nothing.
    • Open & apply now asks whether you actually applied, instead of assuming you did.
    • Saving a note on a job you are waiting to hear back about no longer hides the "going stale" marker.
    • Alert threshold and quiet hours are yours to set, rather than fixed for everyone.
    • A job posted to several boards shows up once, not once per board.
    • The source filter lists every source you can track, not just some of them.
    • Press ? anywhere in the queue for the keyboard shortcuts.
    • Large ingest runs no longer fail partway through, so the queue fills up properly.
  4. Scoring built around your profile, not someone else's

    New

    • Your remaining applications for the week are shown in the sidebar, before you run out rather than after.
    • Interview prep is saved once generated, so revisiting a job does not regenerate it.

    Fixed

    • Scoring now judges postings against your own stack and location - it was quietly assuming one specific engineer.
    • The onboarding wizard no longer writes someone else's tech stack into your profile.
    • Filtering during ingestion now uses your profile rather than a fixed one.
    • Pricing shows one price and one billing period everywhere - the pricing and account pages disagreed.
    • The archive loads a page at a time, so a long history opens quickly.
  5. Getting set up, and a queue that works on a phone

    New

    • A setup wizard turns a few answers into your profile, and remembers where you left off if you close it.
    • Telegram alerts now go to every account that has set them up.
    • Sessions sign out after 30 minutes of inactivity.
    • Signing up now has a confirm-password field, a show-password toggle, and real error messages.

    Fixed

    • Saving your profile, finishing the tour and other actions were silently failing - they work now.
    • The queue is readable on a phone, and keyboard navigation keeps the focused row on screen.
  6. Job finder is now open to everyone

    New

    • Create an account and run job finder against your own profile.
    • Edit your profile in the app - your CV, what you want, and your projects.
    • Pick the job boards you want to track; new postings land in your queue.
    • A quick guided tour walks you through getting set up.
    • Subscribe to a plan to start scoring - three simple tiers on the pricing page.
    • Get a daily digest email of good matches you missed and follow-ups going stale.
