Frequently Asked Questions

What is GetPromptlyHired and how is it different from other job search tools?

GetPromptlyHired is the only AI-powered job search platform with patent-pending diagnostic intelligence that analyzes job postings for hidden risks before you apply. Unlike Teal, Careerflow, or Jobscan which focus only on resume optimization, we:

  • Detect recruiter intent - Identify ATS death traps, recruiter pipeline schemes, unicorn hunts, and scam risks
  • Calculate true fit - 6-dimension match scoring (Skills, Experience, Role, Location, Logistics, Compensation)
  • Generate personalized strategy - AI-powered suggestions, resume bullets, and cover letters based on your unique analysis
  • Track everything - Complete job tracker with strategic insights dashboard

Our patent-pending technology is the first to combine job post risk analysis with holistic match scoring and personalized content generation - all in one click.

How do I get started with GetPromptlyHired?

Getting started takes just 3 minutes:

  1. Install the Chrome extension - Free from the Chrome Web Store
  2. Create your account - Set up with your email
  3. Upload your resume and preferences - Tell our AI about your skills, experience, and what you're looking for
  4. Start analyzing - Visit any job board (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.) and click "Analyze" on any job post

You get 3 free complete analyses to experience the full platform before purchasing.

What is the AI Job Post Risk Analysis and why is it important?

Our patent-pending AI Job Post Risk Analysis is the first technology that decodes recruiter intent before you waste time applying. Research shows that up to 43% of job postings are not genuine hiring opportunities - they're ATS filters, recruiter pipeline building, or internal hire formalities.

Red flags we detect:

  • HIGH_ATS_FILTER_RISK - Job description designed to auto-reject most applicants
  • RECRUITER_PIPELINE - Company collecting resumes for future openings, not actively hiring
  • UNICORN_HUNT - Unrealistic requirements that signal a problematic hiring process
  • VAGUE_POST - Lack of specifics suggests disorganized hiring or scam
  • SCAM_RISK - Suspicious language patterns indicating potential fraud
  • INTERNAL_HIRE_LIKELY - Posting exists for compliance but role is pre-filled

When we detect no red flags, you see HIGH_HIRING_INTENT - meaning this is likely a genuine, well-managed opportunity worth your time.

How does the 6-dimension match score work?

Unlike simple keyword matching tools, our AI calculates your true compatibility across six critical dimensions:

  1. Skills Match (30%) - Technical and soft skills alignment with job requirements
  2. Experience Level (20%) - Years of experience match and seniority fit
  3. Role Compatibility (20%) - Job function alignment with your career trajectory
  4. Location Fit (10%) - Geographic requirements vs. your preferences
  5. Logistics (10%) - Work arrangement (remote/hybrid/onsite), visa needs, security clearance
  6. Compensation Alignment (10%) - Salary range vs. your expectations

You receive a weighted score (0-100%) with detailed breakdowns showing exactly where you excel and where gaps exist. This helps you prioritize the right opportunities and understand how to improve for others.

What job boards and sites does GetPromptlyHired work with?

GetPromptlyHired works seamlessly on all major job boards:

  • LinkedIn
  • Indeed
  • Seek (Australia/NZ)
  • Reed (UK)

The more detailed your profile, the more accurate your match scores and personalized suggestions become.

  • Professional - Following best practices for application materials

We always recommend reviewing and personalizing AI content before submitting.
