The Matched Jobs page is where FindVil's AI-powered automation delivers results—a continuously updated list of opportunities that align with your search criteria. This guide will help you understand how to navigate, filter, and take action on your matched jobs to accelerate your job search success.
Understanding Matched Jobs
Every job displayed on your Matched Jobs page has been discovered by one or more of your active search criteria. These aren't random listings—they're opportunities that meet the specific parameters you've configured, whether through manual criteria creation or AI-assisted resume upload.
The jobs displayed come from comprehensive web-wide searches that aggregate opportunities from major platforms, company career pages, and numerous other sources. FindVil's AI continuously filters these sources to present only legitimate, high-quality opportunities, automatically excluding spam, duplicate listings, and potentially fraudulent postings.
Jobs appear on your Matched Jobs page shortly after they're discovered during automated searches. Depending on your search frequency settings, new opportunities may appear every hour, every six hours, or daily. This means your Matched Jobs page is a dynamic, ever-evolving list of current opportunities rather than a static database.
The Matched Jobs Interface
When you navigate to the Matched Jobs page, you'll see a list view of all discovered opportunities. Each job listing displays key information including the job title, company name, location (or "Remote" designation), employment type (full-time, part-time, contract), posting date, salary information (when available), and a brief excerpt from the job description.
The interface is designed for efficient browsing, allowing you to quickly scan dozens of opportunities and identify those worth deeper investigation. Each listing includes action buttons for common tasks like generating a tailored resume or cover letter, sharing the opportunity, or hiding it from your view.
Advanced Filtering Capabilities
The true power of the Matched Jobs page lies in its comprehensive filtering system. These filters help you narrow down potentially hundreds of matched jobs to focus on the most relevant opportunities for your current priorities.
Date Posted Filter allows you to view only recently posted jobs. Options typically include last 24 hours, last 3 days, last week, last two weeks, and last month. This is particularly useful when you're actively applying and want to ensure you're among the first candidates to submit applications. Newer postings generally receive fewer applications, potentially increasing your chances of standing out.
Employment Type Filter lets you focus on specific work arrangements. Choose from full-time positions, part-time opportunities, contract or freelance work, temporary assignments, or internship programs. If you're currently employed and exploring full-time opportunities, filtering exclusively for full-time positions removes distractions from contract or part-time listings.
Work Location Filter addresses one of the most important modern work considerations. Filter by remote positions (work from anywhere), hybrid arrangements (combination of remote and office work), or on-site positions (traditional office-based work). This filter is essential for candidates with strong location preferences or requirements.
Company Type Filter helps you target organizations that match your career stage and culture preferences. Options include Fortune 500 companies, startups in early stages, unicorn companies (startups valued over $1 billion), publicly traded companies, or private enterprises. Different company types offer different benefits—startups might offer equity and innovation opportunities, while Fortune 500 companies might offer stability and structured career progression.
Benefits Filter allows you to prioritize opportunities based on specific benefits that matter to you. Common filter options include health insurance, dental and vision coverage, 401(k) or retirement plans, flexible work schedules, stock options or equity, professional development budgets, unlimited PTO or generous vacation policies, parental leave, gym memberships or wellness programs, and remote work equipment budgets.
Criteria Filter is particularly useful when you've created multiple search criteria. This filter shows which specific search criterion discovered each job, helping you understand which of your searches is most effective. If one criterion consistently finds high-quality matches while another produces less relevant results, you can refine or deactivate the underperforming search.
Favorites Filter displays only jobs you've marked as favorites using the "like" or "favorite" function. This creates a shortlist of your most interesting opportunities for easy reference and follow-up.
Combining Filters for Precision
The real power emerges when you combine multiple filters. For example, you might filter for "Posted in last 24 hours" + "Remote" + "Full-time" + "Health Insurance" to see brand new remote full-time positions with health benefits. Or filter for "Fortune 500" + "On-site" + "Salary $100k+" to focus on high-paying positions at established companies.
Experiment with different filter combinations to identify patterns in opportunities that interest you most. These patterns can inform how you adjust your search criteria for even better automated matching going forward.
Taking Action on Job Listings
Each job listing provides several action options that streamline your application process.
View Full Details expands the listing to show the complete job description, requirements, company information, and application instructions. Review these details carefully to assess fit before investing time in tailored application documents.
Get Resume is one of FindVil's most powerful features. Clicking this button opens a modal where you can select from your uploaded resumes and generate a version specifically tailored to this job opportunity. The AI analyzes both the job description and your resume to create a document that highlights your most relevant experience and skills for this specific position. This targeted approach significantly increases your chances of passing applicant tracking systems (ATS) and catching hiring manager attention.
Get Cover Letter works similarly, generating a personalized cover letter that connects your background to the specific role and company. The AI crafts compelling narratives about why you're an excellent fit, drawing on details from both your resume and the job description.
Share allows you to send job opportunities to friends or colleagues who might be interested. When you click share, you can enter an email address. The recipient receives a link to view the job, though they'll need to create a FindVil account to access the full listing. This feature is useful for helping others in your network discover opportunities or for sharing interesting leads with fellow job seekers.
Hide removes a job from your matched jobs list permanently. Use this for positions you're definitely not interested in to declutter your view. Hidden jobs won't reappear even if multiple search criteria match them, allowing you to maintain a clean, relevant list of opportunities.
Favorite/Like marks jobs you're particularly interested in. These marked jobs can be filtered separately, creating a shortlist of top opportunities to prioritize in your application efforts.
Strategic Approaches to Matched Jobs
To maximize the effectiveness of your Matched Jobs page, develop a systematic approach to reviewing and acting on opportunities.
Regular Review Schedule: Check your Matched Jobs page daily or every few days depending on your search frequency settings and how actively you're seeking new opportunities. Regular reviews ensure you don't miss time-sensitive postings and help you stay on top of new opportunities as they appear.
Quick Scan First Pass: On each review, do a rapid first pass through new listings, reading just titles and company names. Favorite anything that catches your eye without deep analysis yet. This prevents decision fatigue from trying to evaluate every job thoroughly on first viewing.
Detailed Evaluation Second Pass: Return to your favorited jobs for thorough evaluation. Read full job descriptions, research companies, and assess genuine fit and interest. This two-pass approach is more efficient than trying to deeply evaluate every listing immediately.
Batch Application Creation: Rather than generating one resume at a time, identify several strong-fit opportunities and batch-create tailored documents for all of them in a single session. This is more efficient than context-switching between job searching and document creation repeatedly.
Weekly Cleanup: Periodically hide jobs you've decided against to keep your list manageable. A clean, curated list of relevant opportunities is much easier to work with than a cluttered interface filled with positions you'll never pursue.
Understanding Match Quality
Not all matched jobs will be perfect fits, and that's normal. FindVil's search criteria cast a net designed to capture all potentially relevant opportunities. Some will be ideal matches, others will be close but not quite right, and some may be false positives that technically match your keywords but aren't truly suitable.
Use the filtering system to identify the highest-quality matches. Jobs that appear in multiple search criteria filters are likely strong fits since they're matching different aspects of your profile. Jobs recommended in the Dashboard's recommendation section have been flagged by AI as high-confidence matches worth special attention.
Over time, you'll develop intuition for recognizing quality matches at a glance. Use this intuition to inform adjustments to your search criteria—if you're consistently seeing irrelevant jobs, refine your keywords or add exclusions. If your match rate is low, consider broadening your criteria or creating additional search configurations.
Tracking Your Applications
While FindVil helps you discover opportunities and create application documents, it doesn't automatically track which jobs you've applied to. Consider maintaining a separate application tracker (whether a simple spreadsheet or a dedicated tool) to record which opportunities you've pursued, when you applied, and any follow-up needed.
When you generate a tailored resume or cover letter for a job, that's a good reminder to add the opportunity to your tracker. This external tracking ensures you don't accidentally apply twice to the same position or lose track of where you've submitted applications.
Your Matched Jobs page is the culmination of FindVil's AI-powered job search automation—a continuously refreshed stream of relevant opportunities delivered directly to you. By mastering the filtering system, taking strategic action on listings, and developing efficient review habits, you transform passive job searching into an active, manageable process that consistently surfaces your next great career opportunity.
