How SmartJobHunt Works —
From Setup to Your Dream Job

SmartJobHunt automates every tedious part of job hunting — discovering listings, scoring them against your unique profile, and alerting you the moment something great appears. Here is exactly how it happens.

1 Step One

Create Your Profile

Everything starts with a search profile that tells SmartJobHunt exactly who you are and what you are looking for. This is not a generic resume upload — it is a structured brief that the AI reads each time it evaluates a job listing on your behalf.

You specify your key skills (e.g., React, Python, Solidity), the roles you are targeting (Senior Frontend Engineer, Product Manager, etc.), your preferred location or remote-only preference, a salary range, and any absolute deal-breakers such as required relocation, unpaid trials, or specific tech stacks you want to avoid.

You can also paste your resume or upload a PDF. The resume analyzer extracts your experience and pre-fills the profile fields so setup takes under five minutes. Starter plan users get one profile; Pro users get five; Career Max users can maintain as many as they need — perfect for exploring multiple career directions simultaneously.

  • Skills, technologies, and years of experience
  • Target job titles and seniority levels
  • Location preference or remote-only toggle
  • Minimum salary and compensation expectations
  • Deal-breakers and hard exclusions

Configure Your Sources

SmartJobHunt pulls job listings from multiple sources so you never have to visit a single job board manually. Every plan comes with a curated set of default feeds pre-configured and ready to run the moment you sign up.

The default set includes RSS feeds from top remote-first job boards such as We Work Remotely, Remote.co, and Programming Remotely, plus Workable's XML feed which aggregates openings from over 3,000 hiring companies. You do not need to configure anything to get started — matching begins automatically.

Pro subscribers can add up to 10 custom RSS feeds — any job board or company careers page that exposes a feed. This is especially useful for niche boards in your industry. Career Max subscribers unlock Power Search, which performs structured multi-board searches across LinkedIn, Indeed, and other major platforms and imports results directly into your matches queue.

  • Default RSS feeds included on all plans — no setup needed
  • Workable XML integration covers 3,000+ companies
  • Add up to 10 custom RSS feeds (Pro)
  • Power Search across LinkedIn & Indeed (Career Max)
  • Sources scrape continuously — every 60 min (Starter) to 5 min (Career Max)
3 Step Three

AI Matches Jobs to You

This is where SmartJobHunt genuinely earns its place. Every new job listing that enters the system is read in full by a large language model and scored from 0 to 100 against your search profile. No keyword counting — actual semantic understanding of what the role requires and whether it fits you.

The AI reads the complete job description — requirements, responsibilities, tech stack, culture notes, compensation details — and compares it holistically with your stated skills, seniority level, location preference, salary expectations, and deal-breakers. A listing that mentions React but requires relocation when your profile says remote-only will score low, even if the skills match perfectly.

Crucially, every match includes a transparent reasoning summary explaining exactly why the job scored as it did. You see which skills aligned, which requirements were missing, and what triggered any deal-breaker flags. Starter and Higher-tier plans use more advanced AI for higher-precision analysis and better match quality.

Get Notified Instantly

The whole point of automating job discovery is that you should not have to check a dashboard obsessively. SmartJobHunt pushes matches to wherever you already spend your time, the moment a high-scoring listing is found.

Email notifications are available on every plan and support two modes: instant alerts that fire as soon as a match is scored above your threshold, and a configurable daily digest that batches the day's top matches into a single message so your inbox stays tidy.

Pro and Career Max subscribers can also route alerts to Slack (via a channel or DM), Discord server channels, or WhatsApp via Twilio. Career Max adds outbound webhooks — a POST to any URL — making it easy to pipe matches into Notion, Zapier, or a custom CRM. You configure all of this from the Notifications page inside your account.

Apply with Confidence

SmartJobHunt does not just hand you a list of job titles. Every match in your feed comes with the AI's full score breakdown so you walk into each application knowing exactly how strong your fit is and where the gaps are.

Open any match to see the full job description alongside the AI's reasoning — which of your skills aligned, which requirements were missing, and whether any deal-breakers were flagged. This context helps you decide quickly whether to apply, skip, or reach out for more information before investing time.

The built-in Application Tracker lets you mark matches as Applied, In Progress, Interview, or Rejected so your entire job search pipeline stays in one place. Career Max subscribers can also run the Resume Analyzer — paste a job description alongside your resume and receive a tailored match score, ATS optimization tips, and suggested rewrites before you hit submit.

  • One-click link to the original job posting

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Setup takes about 5 minutes. You fill in your skills, preferred roles, location preference, and salary range. That is all the AI needs. If you have a resume ready you can paste or upload it to auto-fill the form even faster. SmartJobHunt starts matching immediately after you save your first profile — no waiting period, no manual activation.

Yes, and it is free forever — not a trial. The Starter plan gives you one search profile, up to 20 AI-matched jobs per day, email notifications, and access to all default RSS feeds including Workable's 3,000-company XML feed. No credit card is required to sign up. You can upgrade at any point if you need more profiles, faster scraping, or additional notification channels.

SmartJobHunt achieves approximately 95% match accuracy, meaning 19 out of 20 high-scored listings are genuinely relevant to the user's profile. Unlike keyword-based filters, the AI understands context — it recognises that "5 years in JavaScript" implicitly covers React, that a role titled "Full Stack Developer" may suit a backend specialist, and that a deal-breaker for relocation outweighs a near-perfect skill match. Each result includes a written explanation so you can verify the reasoning yourself.

The default source set includes We Work Remotely, Remote.co, Programming Remotely, Fresh Remote Jobs, and Workable's XML feed which aggregates listings from over 3,000 companies that use Workable as their applicant tracking system. Pro subscribers can add up to 10 custom RSS feeds from any job board or company careers page. Career Max subscribers also get Power Search — a structured search across LinkedIn, Indeed, and other major platforms that imports results automatically.

Yes. Your search profile includes a location preference field where you can enter a specific city, metro area, or country rather than selecting remote-only. The AI will then prioritise listings in or near your specified location. Many default feeds include a mix of remote and on-site roles; Power Search (Career Max) is particularly effective for on-site positions because it queries major boards with precise location filters.

Cancellation is self-serve and takes about 10 seconds. Go to your account's Billing page and click "Cancel Subscription". There are no long-term contracts, no cancellation fees, and no awkward retention flows. Your paid plan stays active until the end of your current billing period, then your account reverts to the Starter (free) tier. Your data and profiles are retained so you can reactivate anytime.
