How to set up automated job scans for tech roles

Tune your scan profile so the next 8-hour scan finds jobs worth your time.

Run your first scan

The scanner finds jobs every 8 hours. It only finds the right jobs when your scan profile is set up.

What the scanner uses

Open /dashboard/profile. Scan profile fields the scanner reads:

  • Primary roles — exact role titles you want. "Senior ML Engineer," not "Engineer." The more specific, the cleaner your queue.
  • Salary floor — minimum total comp in dollars. Jobs below this don't appear.
  • Home country + allowed countries — where the role can be based.
  • Remote policyany, remote_ok, remote_only, or onsite_only. If you'd take onsite for the right role, pick any.
  • Tracked companies — companies you'd actually work at. The scanner watches their career pages directly.

What the scanner does NOT use

  • Free-text bios or "tell us about yourself" fields. The scanner is structured-fields-only.
  • Your resume. The applier uses your resume; the scanner uses your scan profile.

When jobs will appear

The scanner runs every 8 hours. After saving your scan profile, the next run picks it up. Worst case: 8 hours. Most members see new jobs within 4-6 hours of their first save.

If 24 hours pass and the queue is still empty, check:

  1. Are your primary roles too narrow? Try adding adjacent titles.
  2. Is your salary floor too high for the country/remote settings?
  3. Are tracked companies actually hiring for your roles right now? (Check their career pages.)

If still empty, message your coach — sometimes the scan needs tuning we can't do from the form.
