Jobcakes reference guide

Find and organize jobs

Turn a broad feed into a focused list of opportunities worth your time.

01

Browse and filter

Should I use card view or list view?

  1. Use card view for visual browsing and infinite scrolling.
  2. Use list view for compact comparison, pagination, selection, and bulk operations.
  3. Your view preference can remain separate from the current filters.

How do I narrow the job feed?

  1. Use keywords for title, company, or skill intent.
  2. Choose published timing, work model, job source, and eligible match score.
  3. Change sort order to prioritize recency or another available ranking.
  4. Save a useful filter configuration as a view when you expect to reuse it.
02

Review and decide

What happens when I click a job?

  1. Click the card or row to open the job drawer.
  2. Review the posting, requirements, compensation, source, skills, and fit signals.
  3. Choose an action such as save, hide, mark applied, generate a document, or open the posting.
  4. In list mode, click only the checkbox when you intend to select the row.

When should I save, hide, or block?

  1. Save a role that deserves a later decision or application.
  2. Hide a specific posting that is not useful.
  3. Block a company when roles from that employer should no longer appear.
  4. Use bulk actions in list mode when the same decision applies to several jobs.

Why is the match score blank?

  1. A score appears only when the job and selected profile have enough eligible information.
  2. A blank score does not mean the job is a poor match.
  3. Review the posting manually when the title, company, or core skills are still relevant.
03

Import and apply

How do I import an outside job?

  1. Choose Import Job.
  2. Paste a supported posting URL or the job description.
  3. Review the normalized company, title, source, and content.
  4. Save, prepare, or apply to the imported job like any other opportunity.

How do bulk operations work?

  1. Switch to list view.
  2. Select jobs using their checkboxes.
  3. Review the selected-job summary in the drawer.
  4. Choose the applicable bulk action and confirm it.

Common questions

Why can I see a job but not generate a document?

Check the selected profile, profile lock state, plan entitlement, remaining credits, resume availability, and job-description content.

Why is Gmail missing or paused?

Gmail belongs to a specific profile and requires an entitled plan. Confirm the active profile, billing state, and connection status.

Why are no interviews shown?

An applied or rejected job is not automatically an interview. A confirmed interview-stage event must exist first.

Why did a profile become locked?

The current plan may allow fewer active profiles. Locked profiles remain visible and preserved but cannot perform profile-scoped actions.

Can I correct a wrong email link or stage?

Yes. Open the message or application, correct the relationship or stage, and review the resulting timeline.

Does Jobcakes submit applications automatically?

Jobcakes supports discovery, preparation, document generation, answers, and tracking. Always confirm the final external submission state.
