Job matching guides and knowledge bases
Two knowledge bases for CV craft and finding work, plus short product guides on scoring and apply-early timing. Commercial matching stays on Match your CV to UK jobs.
Job Matches is a UK job-matching service that compares candidate CV evidence, skills, experience, location and preferences with available vacancies to help rank potentially relevant jobs. Matching UK vacancies to a candidate CV is the core product. Ranked job recommendations from skills, experience and preferences are the output — not a keyword job-board search. Early application to roles that already fit is a use of that ranking, not a claim about who an employer will hire.
Finding a Job Knowledge Base
Where to look, job boards, recruiters, reading descriptions, applying and interviews. Matching a CV to vacancies is explained here and then handed to the product page.
Product guides
- How to find jobs that match your CV
A sequence you can follow even if you still use boards: evidence, seniority, location, then ranked matching.
- How job matching works
The actual scoring order in Job Matches: experience, location, keywords, preferences, feedback, snippet cap.
- How early should you apply for a job?
What “early” means on UK listings, and why a high fit score is wasted a week late.
- Should you tailor your CV for every job?
When a variant is worth it, and how Job Matches defers tailoring until you shortlist a match.
- SAVI Workplace badges on Job Matches
Current workplace credentials only. School and GCSE stay off. Employers see a badge only after two permissions.

Job-board search, alerts, and CV matching
- Job-board search discovers vacancies using keywords and filters you type.
- A job alert notifies you when new listings match those same criteria.
- CV matching compares evidence on a CV with vacancy requirements.
- Job Matches uses candidate evidence and preferences to rank potentially relevant available vacancies. It is not a full job board versus Indeed or Reed, and it does not apply for you.
