4Getting Started

Sign up with your email or Google account. During setup, you can upload your CV for better job matches. The setup wizard will guide you through setting your job preferences.

Not yet — but our website is fully mobile-friendly and works great on any device. You can add it to your home screen for quick access.

JobSilver works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend keeping your browser up to date for the best experience.

After logging in, use the setup wizard to configure your preferences. You can set your desired job titles, locations, salary range, and remote work preference. These can be updated anytime in Settings.

4Job Discovery

We aggregate jobs from multiple sources including Greenhouse, Lever, and Ashby ATS systems, as well as job APIs. This gives you access to thousands of opportunities from companies of all sizes.

Fresh jobs are discovered daily. Your daily discovery limit refreshes each day at midnight UTC, so you'll always have new opportunities to explore.

Try refining your preferences in Settings — adjust your job titles, locations, or salary range. Pro and Ultra users benefit from AI that learns from your activity and improves matches over time.

Company search isn't available yet — job discovery is based on your role preferences, location, and other criteria rather than specific company names. This helps surface opportunities you might otherwise miss.

4Kanban Board & Tracking

Use the Kanban board to move jobs through your pipeline. Drag jobs between columns as your application progresses from discovery to offer.

New Matches contains jobs matching your preferences that you haven't acted on yet. Applied is for jobs where you've submitted an application. Offers is for jobs where you've received an offer.

Yes — simply drag and drop job cards between columns, or use the menu on each card to change its status.

Click the menu (three dots) on any job card and select "Discard". The job will be hidden from your board but won't count against your daily discovery limit again.

3Applying to Jobs

No. JobSilver helps you discover and prepare for applications, but you always apply directly on the company's website. We never auto-apply on your behalf — this ensures your applications are personal and high-quality.

Click "Apply" on any job card to open the company's application page in a new tab. After you've submitted your application there, move the job to your "Applied" column to track it.

Manual applications are more personal and have higher success rates. Our AI helps you craft compelling applications that stand out — you just submit them yourself. Quality over quantity.

6AI Assistant

The AI assistant can write personalized cover letters, help answer application questions, generate optimized CVs for specific roles, analyze job fit, and help you prepare for interviews. Pro users get 30 AI responses, 5 cover letters, and 3 CV generations per day. Ultra users get unlimited AI access.

Yes — the floating chat button (bottom corner of the screen) is available to everyone. Free users can ask general questions about using JobSilver. Job-specific AI help like cover letters and CV generation requires a Pro or Ultra subscription.

On any job detail page, Pro and Ultra users see an embedded AI chat that has context about that specific job. This allows the AI to write tailored cover letters and application responses. Free users see an option to upgrade.

Yes (Pro and Ultra) — you can attach images to your chat messages and the AI will analyze the form fields to help you craft responses. Great for complex application questions.

Absolutely. Your conversations are stored securely and only you can access them. We never share your data with employers or third parties.

4CV & Cover Letters

You can upload PDF, DOCX, or TXT files. PDF is recommended for best parsing accuracy.

Our AI extracts your skills, work experience, education, and other details from your uploaded CV. This information improves job matching and helps the AI provide more relevant assistance.

You can re-upload a new version of your CV anytime. The system will re-parse it and update your profile accordingly.

Our AI creates personalized cover letters by combining your CV details with the specific job description. Each letter is unique and highlights the most relevant aspects of your experience for that role.

5Account & Billing

Go to Dashboard → Settings → Manage Subscription → Cancel. You'll keep your Pro or Ultra access until the end of your current billing period.

We generally don't provide refunds for partial subscription periods. However, if you have exceptional circumstances, contact us via our Contact page and we'll review your request on a case-by-case basis.

Your preferences, CV, and favorited jobs remain in your account until you actively delete it. Non-favorited jobs older than 60 days are automatically cleaned up to keep your board fresh. You can continue using Free tier features after canceling.
