It's Not Just About Your Skills—It's About What You Want

LinkedIn Filters Aren't Enough

Job platforms give you basic filters: location, job title, salary range. But what about the things that actually matter for your happiness and success?

❌ What LinkedIn Can't Filter:

  • • Work arrangement (remote/hybrid/office)
  • • Company culture & management style
  • • Visa sponsorship availability
  • • Career growth potential
  • • Team size & structure
  • • Tech stack preferences
  • • Work-life balance indicators

✅ What JAO Analyzes:

  • Your preferences vs job reality
  • Dealbreakers detected automatically
  • Cultural fit based on job description
  • Career trajectory alignment
  • Compensation expectations vs offer
  • Work arrangement compatibility
  • Geographic fit (relocation, timezone)

💡 The JAO Difference: We don't just match your resume to job requirements—we match your entire career vision to what the role actually offers. Skills + Experience + Your Preferences = True Fit.

The Job Application Paradox

You're stuck in a losing cycle:

  • • Apply to 50+ jobs per week hoping something sticks
  • • Spend 2-3 hours customizing each application
  • • Get rejected from 90% of them (or never hear back)
  • • Waste time on roles you're under/over-qualified for
  • • Miss perfect-fit opportunities buried in the noise

The truth? Most job seekers apply to the wrong jobs. They either aim too high (instant rejection), too low (unfulfilling work), or miss dealbreakers (visa requirements, salary mismatches, toxic cultures, incompatible work arrangements).

How Job Scoring Works

7 Weighted Factors, One Clear Score

1. Skills Match

30% weight

Compares your technical and soft skills against job requirements. Identifies missing critical skills vs nice-to-haves.

Example Analysis:
Match: Python, SQL, Data Analysis (required)
⚠️ Missing: Tableau (nice-to-have), PMP certification (required)
💡 Impact: -15 points (missing one critical skill)

2. Experience Level

20% weight

Matches your years of experience to job requirements. Flags if you're under-qualified or significantly overqualified.

Example Analysis:
You: 5 years in product management
📋 Required: 3-7 years
💡 Impact: Perfect fit (+20 points)

3. Preferences Match

20% weight

Aligns job details with your work preferences: remote vs office, company size, industry, role type.

Example Analysis:
Preference: Fully remote, tech startup
📋 Job Offers: Hybrid 2 days/week, Series B SaaS company
💡 Impact: -5 points (hybrid vs fully remote)

4. Compensation Alignment

15% weight

Checks if salary/compensation meets your expectations. Flags significant mismatches.

Example Analysis:
Your Target: $100K-$130K
📋 Job Offers: $110K-$140K + equity
💡 Impact: Perfect match (+15 points)

5. Geographic Fit

10% weight

Considers location requirements, timezone constraints, and relocation willingness.

Example Analysis:
You: Open to remote, based in Berlin
📋 Job: Remote (Europe timezone required)
💡 Impact: Perfect fit (+10 points)

6. Culture & Values

3% weight

Analyzes company culture, mission, and values against your career aspirations.

7. Career Growth

2% weight

Evaluates long-term career trajectory, skill development, and advancement opportunities.

🚨 Automatic Dealbreaker Detection

Some mismatches are immediate rejections. JAO automatically flags these critical issues:

Visa/Work Authorization
Must have legal right to work in country
Language Requirements
Missing required language proficiency
Education Level
Minimum degree not met (e.g., PhD required)
Critical Experience
5+ years required, you have 1 year
Any dealbreaker = score capped at 40% maximum

What You Get: Actionable Insights

Example: 87% Match

87%

✅ What Matches

  • • All required technical skills present (Python, SQL, Tableau)
  • • Experience level perfect fit (5 years, 3-7 required)
  • • Remote work preference aligned
  • • Salary range matches expectations ($110K-$140K)

⚠️ Minor Concerns

  • • Missing PMP certification (nice-to-have, -5 points)
  • • Hybrid role vs fully remote preference (-5 points)
  • • Series B startup (you prefer Series A) (-3 points)

💡 Honest Assessment

Strong fit. You meet all critical requirements and align well with company culture. The minor gaps (PMP, hybrid vs remote) are addressable and shouldn't prevent you from applying. Your Python + SQL skills are exactly what they need for their data pipeline role. Recommended action: Apply with confidence.

Example: 32% Match

32%

🚨 Major Concerns

  • Dealbreaker: Requires 10+ years experience (you have 5 years) - Cap at 40%
  • • Missing 3 critical skills: Machine Learning, Kubernetes, AWS
  • • Senior Director level (you're mid-level)
  • • On-site required (you're remote only)

💡 Honest Assessment

Not a good fit. This role requires 10+ years and senior leadership experience you don't have yet. Even with perfect interview skills, you'd likely be rejected due to experience gap. Recommended action: Skip this one. Focus on mid-level IC roles instead.
