Three steps from preference to approval
Every step is approval-gated. Nothing exports, sends, or applies on your behalf without an explicit confirmation.
Review the AI shortlist
Every morning, the Job Scout agent shortlists roles and explains its reasoning per match: which proof bullets fit, which gaps exist, and any risk flags worth knowing.
Approve and hand off
Save promising roles into your tracker. From there, kick off resume tailoring, cover letter drafting, or interview prep — all approval-gated, all keyed to that role.

Preferences engine
Captures titles, comp floor, location, company size, mission filters, and dealbreakers. Drives every shortlist re-rank.
AI shortlist with reasoning
The Job Scout agent ranks roles daily and explains each pick — proof matches, fit tags, and gaps in plain language.
Match score
0–100 score per role, broken into seniority fit, proof match, comp fit, trajectory fit, and values fit. No mystery numbers.
Scored against your work values
Job Scout reads your Holland (RIASEC) profile alongside your proof bank. Roles get a values-fit component in the score, with plain-language reasoning so you can see why a role landed where it did.
Save & approve
Approval-gated — nothing moves to your tracker until you confirm. Skipped roles teach the shortlist what you actually want.
Tracker handoff
Saved roles flow into your application tracker with one click — preserving the AI reasoning so you can revisit it later.
Risk flags
Surfaces comp below your floor, recent layoffs, growth-stage mismatch, and overreach — before you waste cycle time.

Common questions about this feature
How do work values change my shortlist?
Once you take the Holland (RIASEC) assessment, Job Scout adds a values-fit component to the match score for every role. Roles that align with your top dimensions rank higher; roles that conflict with a strong value get a friction flag rather than a quiet bury. See /features/work-values for the full picture.
Where do the jobs come from?
We aggregate from major public job boards and direct company career pages. We do not scrape LinkedIn, and we do not auto-apply to anything — every move is approval-gated.
How is the match score calculated?
Four components: seniority fit (your years and scope vs the role), proof match (which proof bullets line up), comp fit (against your floor), and trajectory fit (does this role move your career forward). The Job Scout agent shows its work for each one.
Can I see why a role was ranked highly?
Yes — every shortlist entry includes plain-language reasoning. Which proof bullets fit, which gaps exist, and any risk flags. If you disagree, mark the role 'not for me' and the next shortlist learns from it.
How often does the shortlist refresh?
Daily, in your morning briefing. You can also force a refresh from the jobs surface if you update your preferences mid-day.
Will Career Stride apply on my behalf?
No. We are intentionally not an auto-apply tool. Every application moves only after you approve the resume, the cover letter, and the submission itself. Your name, your reputation, your call.
