How Job Marshal works
This is the path from the files and preferences you provide to the ranked, explained matches you see — described as a system flow, not a feature checklist.

Your results
Stage 01
Building your profile
You upload one or more resumes. The system reads them together and builds a single working profile of your skills, roles, and history — the baseline everything else is compared against.
That profile is not shown to employers as a public page; it is the reference used when jobs are evaluated for fit.
Stage 02
Defining the search and pulling live jobs
You set targets: job titles, companies, and locations you care about. Behind the scenes, Job Marshal reaches into the same applicant tracking systems many employers use — including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and SmartRecruiters — and pulls current postings, not a static dump from weeks ago.
The output of this stage is a set of real listings that match your criteria, ready for the next step.
Stage 03
How each role gets a fit score
For each listing, your profile is compared to the job description. You get a compatibility score from 1% to 100%, the main reasons the role lines up with your background, and the gaps you would need to close to be a stronger match.
The goal is not a black box rank — it is structured, explainable output you can act on.
Stage 04
What you see in the product
Results arrive as a sortable, scorable list you can triage: strong fits first, weak fits flagged honestly. You can save searches, revisit history, and track where you applied so the same intelligence carries through your whole search.
Nothing here replaces your judgment — it compresses research time and makes tradeoffs visible before you invest in an application.
What the scores mean
Honest signals, not hype
- A low score is useful: it steers you away from wasting time on a poor fit, not something we hide.
- Every strong score is paired with reasons you can read; we are not optimizing for “everything looks great.”
- You stay in charge — scores inform where to focus; they do not replace your judgment about a role or company.
