Offered AI Platform

Getting Started with Your Offered Account

Setting up your Offered account is straightforward because we know you want to spend less time fiddling with forms and more time applying to jobs. Head over to offered.com and hit the “Sign Up” button in the top right corner. From there, you’ll fill out a simple form asking for your email, a strong password, and whether you’re signing up as a jobseeker or employer.

Choosing your account type is important — as a jobseeker, you’ll get access to tools focused on matching you with vacancies and polishing your interview skills. Employers get a different set of features, but we’ll focus on what jobseekers need here.

Once you verify your email, you can start building your profile gradually. Don’t feel pressured to complete everything at once — our platform lets you update your details anytime.

How Email Verification and Activation Work

After registering, you’ll get an email with a verification link that’s good for 24 hours. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder — automated emails sometimes get caught there. If the link expires, just request a new one on the login page.

Pro tip: Use a personal email address you’ll always have access to, rather than a work email that might get locked down later.

Building Your Profile as a Jobseeker

Once you’re in, your profile becomes the heart of how our AI understands you. Here’s what you’ll want to fill out:

• Basic Information: Your name, location, phone number, and a professional headline that sums up what you do.
• Work Experience: List previous roles, key responsibilities, and any achievements. The more detail here, the better your job matches.
• Skills and Certifications: Focus on relevant skills. Our AI weighs these differently depending on your target roles.

Our system doesn’t just look for keywords — it understands how your skills and experiences fit together and where you might logically head next in your career.

Understanding How Our AI Job Matching Works

Our AI is more than a keyword scanner — it learns your career path, skill set, and preferences to find jobs that really fit you. It looks at:

1. Skill relevance to job requirements
2. Experience level alignment (not too junior or senior)
3. Your location and remote work preferences
4. Company culture fit based on your history and preferences
5. Growth potential in the roles it suggests

Plus, as you interact with the platform—saving jobs, applying, or skipping offers—the AI refines future recommendations. It’s like having a recruiter who gets smarter about your needs over time.

Setting Up Job Alerts That Work for You

One of the features jobseekers appreciate is customizable job alerts. You can create different alert profiles depending on what you’re looking for:

Instant alerts tend to be the most useful for active jobseekers because they give you a chance to apply quickly before others catch on.

How Interview Automation Makes Your Life Easier

Offered’s interview automation goes beyond scheduling. It helps you prepare and manage interviews smoothly with features like:

• AI Interview Practice: Practice answering questions tailored to your target roles with AI feedback on clarity, confidence, and content.
• Automated Scheduling: The platform syncs your availability with employers’, sends calendar invites, and even provides video call links.
• Preparation Materials: Get interview tips and role-specific advice right before your interview.

This automation cuts down the back-and-forth emails and helps you feel ready when the big day comes.

Keeping Your Data Private and Secure

We get that job hunting can feel personal, so we’ve built in strong privacy controls. You decide who sees what:

You can also block particular companies, download your data, or delete your account anytime.

Optimizing Your Profile for Better Matches

Once your basics are set up, here are some tips to boost your profile’s power:

Keyword Optimization

Check job postings in your field and sprinkle relevant terms into your profile. Our AI understands natural language but highlighting key phrases helps.

Skills Assessment

Try the optional skills tests on the platform. Passing them earns badges that show employers your verified strengths.

Portfolio Integration

If you work in creative or technical fields, upload samples or link your portfolio. The AI can analyze these to find roles that match your style and expertise.

Using Market Data to Set Salary Expectations

Salary expectations matter a lot for matching. Our platform provides up-to-date market data, showing:

• Average salaries for your role and location
• Salary ranges at companies you’re interested in
• Impact of experience level on compensation
• Cash value equivalents of benefits packages

You can set minimum and target salaries, and the AI will use that info to filter jobs, so you’re not wasting time on offers that don’t fit.

Syncing Your Mobile App and Integrations

The Offered mobile app keeps you connected on the go. After registering on the web, just download the app and log in with the same credentials. You’ll get:

• Push notifications for new job matches
• Quick-apply with saved materials
• Interview practice sessions during your commute
• Ability to update availability anytime

The app syncs instantly with your web profile, so changes you make anywhere show up everywhere.

Troubleshooting Common Setup Issues

Sometimes things don’t go perfectly when you’re setting up. Here are a few tips:

• Email Verification: Check spam folders, use the same browser/device when clicking the link, and request a new email if needed.
• Profile Imports: Make sure your LinkedIn profile is public during import and try again if connections timeout.
• Password Rules: Use at least 8 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols for security.
