FAQ

Common questions

ShouldApply is a job search scoring engine that tells you how well you match each job before you apply. Upload your resume, run a search, and every result gets a fit score based on your skills, experience, and preferences. No more guessing whether you qualify.

We parse your resume and skill ratings, then compare them against each job's requirements. The score factors in skills match, experience fit, seniority alignment, industry relevance, and logistics like location and salary. You can customize the weights to prioritize what matters most to you. Learn how your profile affects scoring.

One search scans LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, ZipRecruiter, Dice, and Wellfound simultaneously. Results are deduplicated, so you won't see the same job posted across multiple boards. See how board scanning works.

Your resume is parsed to extract skills and experience, then stored securely. We never sell your data, share it with employers, or use it for advertising. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

The free plan includes 3 job scores and 2 searches per day with full score breakdowns. Pro unlocks unlimited searches, AI-tailored resumes, cover letters, interview prep, and custom scoring weights. View pricing.

Job boards show you listings. ShouldApply tells you which ones are actually worth applying to. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of results, you get a ranked feed with match scores, skill gap analysis, and a clear verdict on each role.

ShouldApply doesn't write your resume from scratch, but it can tailor your existing resume for each specific job. It highlights the keywords and experience that match the role's requirements, so your application stands out.
