Create Account Offered

Starting Your Account the Right Way

Getting your account set up on Offered is simpler than you might think, but there are some common pitfalls to avoid. Before you jump into the Salary Insights & Negotiation Toolkit or any of our AI-powered features, you want to make sure you create your account carefully. From our experience, rushing through or overthinking the process can slow you down. The key is to be thorough but not stressed.

Head over to our homepage and look for the “Create Account” button in the top right corner — it’s straightforward, no tricky labels. Once you click that, you’ll be guided through the essential steps without feeling overwhelmed.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

Here’s a quick checklist to have on hand before signing up. This makes the process smoother and helps our AI tools work better for you:

• A valid email address you check regularly
• A strong password (at least 8 characters, mix of letters, numbers & symbols)
• Your full professional name matching your resume and LinkedIn
• Your phone number for verification and interview reminders
• Your accurate location or timezone for better job matching

Knowing these upfront saves frustrating back-and-forth later. For employers, some extra company info and HR tool permissions will come into play, but we’ll guide you through those.

How to Complete Your Registration Step-by-Step

Let me walk you through the actual signup steps so you know exactly what to expect:

1. Go to the homepage and click the “Create Account” button.
2. Choose your account type – job seeker or employer. Switching later is possible but a bit of a hassle.
3. Fill in your email and create a strong password. You’ll get instant feedback if your password isn’t secure enough.
4. Enter your full name and phone number. The phone number helps with interview scheduling and text reminders.
5. Select your location/timezone so our AI can tailor job matches to your area.
6. Submit your info and wait for the verification email.

If you run into errors, usually it’s password rules or email format. Our system points out exactly what needs fixing, so it’s pretty user-friendly.

Verifying Your Email and Activating Your Account

Right after you submit your registration, you’ll get a verification email. Usually it arrives within minutes, but sometimes it can take up to 15, so don’t panic if it’s not instant.

Check your spam folder just in case, because that happens more often than you’d expect. Clicking the link inside activates your account and sends you back to Offered where you’ll see a friendly welcome message and your dashboard.

Common Email Verification Issues

Setting Up Your Profile for Better Job Matches

Once your account’s active, it’s time to build your profile. This is where you give our AI the fuel it needs to find great opportunities and make the Salary Insights & Negotiation Toolkit truly effective.

Spend 10-15 minutes filling out these basics:

• Professional headline
• Current employment status
• Industry and experience level
• Salary expectations
• Preferred work arrangements (remote, hybrid, onsite)

Uploading your resume is a must. We accept PDFs, DOC, and DOCX files up to 5MB. Our AI scans your resume to pull key info like job titles, dates, and skills. Always double-check the extracted data to make sure it’s accurate.

Keeping Your Account Secure and Private

We handle some sensitive info, so protecting your data is a priority. Here’s how we help you stay secure:

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Enable 2FA in your security settings to add an extra layer of protection. You can choose SMS codes for convenience or an authenticator app for stronger security.

Privacy Controls

You decide who sees your profile. By default, verified employers in your target fields and locations can view it, but you can adjust these settings anytime.

Data Sharing Preferences

More data sharing means smarter AI matching, but you control how much info you share. You can dial it back if you want more privacy.

Connecting Your Account to HR Tools and Calendars

For employers and recruiters, our platform integrates with popular HR tools to streamline your hiring process. After you create your account, you can link:

• Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
• Google Calendar, Outlook, and other calendar apps
• Video conferencing platforms
• Background check services
• Reference verification tools

These integrations automate interview scheduling and candidate tracking, cutting down your time-to-hire by up to 40%. The setup is guided, but you’ll need to grant permissions to let the systems talk to each other smoothly.

Fine-Tuning AI Job Matching and Interview Automation

Our AI job matching isn’t just keyword scanning — it learns your career goals, work style preferences, and compensation expectations to serve up better matches over time. When you set up your account, you’ll fill out questions about:

• Career trajectory and goals
• Preferred work environments
• Salary and benefits expectations
• Geographic flexibility
• Industry interests

The more accurately you answer, the smarter the algorithms get. Plus, as you interact with job matches and interviews, the AI refines its recommendations.

Using the Salary Insights & Negotiation Toolkit

This toolkit activates automatically once your profile and salary info are complete. It gives you market salary data and negotiation strategies tailored to your role and region. Honestly, it’s a game-changer when preparing for offers or raises.

Interview Automation Setup

To get the most from interview automation, connect your calendar (Google, Outlook, etc.) so our system can find open slots and schedule interviews without back-and-forth emails. You can customize:

• Preferred days and times
• Buffer time between interviews
• Max interviews per day
• Interview formats (video, phone, in-person)

Notifications come via email, SMS, or push alerts — whatever works best for you.

Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Offered Account

Once you’re set up, here’s how to keep things running smoothly and get better results:

• Keep your profile updated with new skills, roles, or location changes — the AI depends on fresh info.
• Engage regularly: apply to jobs, schedule interviews, and use the Salary Insights & Negotiation Toolkit to prep.
• Give feedback on job matches and interviews — it helps train the AI to improve your recommendations.
• Use our mobile app for on-the-go interview management and notifications.

These simple habits make a big difference in how well our platform serves you over time.

Troubleshooting and Support

If you hit snags during setup or use, here are some quick fixes we’ve seen work:

1. Check your internet connection and try a different browser if things aren’t saving.
2. Clear your browser cache and disable extensions temporarily to avoid conflicts.
3. Make sure you’re granting required permissions for calendar and HR integrations.
4. If verification emails don’t arrive, wait 15 minutes and check spam before requesting a resend.
5. Contact support through your account’s help section if issues persist — response times depend on your account type but usually within 24 hours.
