Question 1

How does the match scoring work?

Accepted Answer

We read each job for the skills and experience it really asks for, then compare it to your CV. You get a 0–100 score showing how well you fit — so you spend time on the roles worth applying to.

Question 2

Where do the jobs come from?

Accepted Answer

Directly from job portals sourced from companies’ own careers pages — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, BambooHR. You’re seeing first-hand, verified listings, not aggregator duplicates.

Question 3

Is my uploaded CV data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your CV is processed securely and stored privately — only you can access it, and only through a key that expires. It’s never shared with employers, and you can delete it anytime.

Question 4

How long do you keep my CV?

Accepted Answer

We keep your CV for up to 3 months, then delete it automatically. You can also remove it yourself from your profile in one click, anytime — no waiting.

Question 5

Will Jobctl make up experience I don’t have?

Accepted Answer

Never. jobctl rewrites and reframes your real experience to fit a role — it doesn’t invent skills or jobs. Gaps stay visible so you decide what to add, honestly.

Question 6

What do I get, and is the resume ATS-friendly?

Accepted Answer

A job-specific PDF resume built to pass ATS parsing: single-column, no layout tricks, machine-readable. Preview before you download, and re-download the same version anytime.

Question 7

How is this different from just using ChatGPT or Claude?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT, Claude or any other LLM gives you generic text, which you still have to format, fact-check and fit to an ATS. Jobctl finds roles that actually match you, scores each one, and hands back a formatted, parser-safe resume tailored to that job — end to end, not a blank prompt.

Question 8

Do you apply to jobs for me?

Accepted Answer

Jobctl does the hard part — finding roles that fit and tailoring a resume for each — then you apply with one click on your own account. You stay in control of what goes out.

Question 9

Is there a free plan? What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can start free and see real matches before paying a cent. Paid plans unlock more searches and resume tailoring; full details are on our Pricing page (jobctl.io/pricing).

Question 10

Can I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Cancel anytime from your profile — you keep access until the end of your billing period, then move back to the free plan.
