Researching a job

What Gancho finds out about every job you save (pay, the company, benefits, the real must-haves) and how well you fit.

It starts on its own

Save a job and Gancho reads the posting and searches the web for the company. It takes about 15 seconds. If your resume is uploaded, it also scores how well you fit.

Your fit

A score from 0 to 100 against your default resume, a one-line verdict, one piece of advice, and two lists: You match and Gaps to address. The gaps are what to cover in your resume, your message and your interview.

Pay, company and benefits

Pay comes from the posting, or is an estimate marked est. with how sure it is and why. Benefits covers health, retirement, time off, remote and more, including what the posting does not mention. Worth checking flags anything that looks off.

Where it came from

The Sources list links every page the research used, so you can check anything that matters. Refresh insights runs it again. Do that after uploading a new resume.
