Troubleshooting Common Issues and Tips

We know setting up and using AI-powered tools can feel tricky at first. Here are some common hiccups and how to handle them:

Why Am I Getting Irrelevant Matches?

Usually, this means your preferences need fine-tuning. Be specific about location, salary, role level, and industries. Updating these regularly keeps the AI on track.

My Skills Don’t Appear in Searches

Try using industry-standard terms and include variations (e.g., “JavaScript” and “JS”). Adding both technical and soft skills gives a fuller picture.

No Responses from Employers?

Check your profile optimization. Use keywords from job descriptions, quantify your achievements, and stay active with interview prep and feedback.

Issue Likely Cause Quick Fix
Irrelevant Matches Broad or missing preferences Update filters & preferences
Skills Not Found Non-standard terms Use common industry keywords
No Employer Responses Profile optimization needed Add keywords & achievements
Location Mismatch Too narrow radius Expand location range or enable remote
