CandidatesIs Jobpify free for candidates?
Yes — always, and forever. Creating a profile, getting matched with roles, applying, and messaging recruiters is 100% free for anyone looking for work. We make all our money from companies that pay to post jobs.
You will never see:
- A paywall on a job application
- Salary ranges hidden behind a login
- A charge to see who viewed your profile
- A "premium" tier that changes what recruiters see about you
CandidatesHow does the match score work?
Every job shows a score from 0 to 100. That number compares your profile against the role across five signals:
- Skills overlap (35%) — the skills the job needs, matched against the skills you've demonstrated.
- Seniority fit (25%) — are you at the right level for this role?
- Location (20%) — remote, hybrid, or on-site, and whether the location works for you.
- Salary expectations (15%) — whether your inferred range overlaps with the posted range.
- Trajectory (5%) — are you moving toward this kind of role, or away from it?
Most of our matches land between 60 and 85. A 95% match is rare and worth taking seriously. A 45% match is worth a look if you're curious.
CandidatesWhy don't some jobs show a salary?
Because those jobs can't post on Jobpify. Salary transparency is mandatory — if a company won't publish a numeric range, the listing doesn't go live. No exceptions, no "competitive" dodge, no hidden premium tier.
In mid-2025 we removed 2,400 job listings in a single day because they refused to share a range. Recruiters were angry. Candidates stayed. That's the trade we're comfortable making.
CandidatesHow long does it take to apply for a job?
Under 60 seconds. Once your profile is set up, applying to any role on Jobpify is a single tap or click. We don't ask for cover letters, don't make you re-enter your resume, and don't require you to answer the same five questions you answered on the last four applications.
If you want to stand out, you can optionally add a 15-second voice note instead of a written cover letter. Recruiters love them — they get read 3× more often than text.
CandidatesDo I need to upload a resume to use Jobpify?
No, but it helps. You can build a complete Jobpify profile from scratch — no resume required. That said, uploading one lets us import your work history, skills, and education in a single step, which gives you a much higher match score from day one.
Your resume is never sold, shared, or shown to any company you don't apply to.
CandidatesWill I actually hear back from recruiters?
Yes — 92% of applications on Jobpify receive a reply within 5 business days. That's because we show every recruiter's response rate on their public profile, and companies with rates below 60% are removed from candidate match feeds.
If a recruiter ghosts you, we want to know. Every listing has a "report no response" link that flags the company and can lead to removal.
CandidatesHow do I delete my account and data?
Go to Settings → Account → Delete account. Your profile, applications, and messages are permanently removed within 30 days. Before you delete, you can request a full data export in a machine-readable format — no restrictions, no fees.
We never keep shadow copies. Once you delete, we delete.
CandidatesCan I filter jobs for remote or hybrid work?
Yes. Every job on Jobpify is tagged as Remote, Hybrid, or On-site, and you can filter by any of them. You can also filter remote roles by time zone expectations, since "remote" means different things to different companies.
If a company lists a job as remote but requires you to be in a specific city three days a week, you can report it — that's a rule violation.
CandidatesDoes Jobpify help with salary negotiation?
Yes. When you receive an offer through Jobpify, we show you:
- The exact range the company posted publicly
- What similar candidates accepted for the same role in the last 90 days (anonymized)
- A short negotiation guide tailored to the role and industry
We don't tell you what to ask for. We just make sure you walk in knowing what's normal, so you're not negotiating in the dark.
RecruitersHow long does it take to post a job?
About 4 minutes. The flow has four steps — job details, preview, billing, and payment — and everything is saved as you go. You can stop and come back at any time without losing work.
Once payment succeeds, your listing goes live within 60 seconds and appears in candidate match feeds within 5 minutes.
RecruitersDo I have to publish a salary range?
Yes. On Jobpify, a numeric salary range with currency and pay basis is mandatory. Listings without one don't go live, and there is no workaround.
We know it's uncomfortable for some companies. The data is overwhelming though — listings with a transparent range receive 3.4× more qualified applicants and fill 40% faster than listings that say "competitive."
RecruitersCan I edit a job after it goes live?
Yes — you can edit almost anything from your recruiter dashboard at any time. The one exception is the salary range: if you change it after the job is live, we automatically add a public note ("Salary updated on [date]") so candidates can see the change is real.
That transparency rule is on purpose. Candidates have been burned by bait-and-switch salary edits on other boards for years.
RecruitersCan I pause or close a listing when the role is filled?
Yes. From your dashboard you can pause a listing (hides it without losing the data), close it (permanently ends the listing), or duplicate it for your next role.
Closing a role early doesn't affect your refund eligibility — see the refund policy for details.
RecruitersCan I search for candidates directly, or do I wait for applications?
Both. Your listing goes into the candidate match feed automatically, but you can also actively source from our searchable talent pool. Filter by skills, seniority, location, availability, and salary expectations.
We also integrate with most major ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, Ashby) so candidate data flows into your existing pipeline automatically.
RecruitersDo you offer volume discounts or subscriptions?
Yes. If you post more than 3 jobs per month, a subscription is usually cheaper than paying per post. Volume plans start at 5 posts/month and scale up. Annual billing saves an additional 20%.
Get in touch with your posting volume and we'll tell you honestly which plan saves you money — sometimes the answer is "stay on the pay-per-post plan, it's cheaper for you."
RecruitersCan I pay to boost my listing in candidate feeds?
No. We don't sell ranking in personal candidate feeds — ever. Candidates see roles ranked by genuine match quality, not by who paid the most.
You can pay for visibility on our public homepage and category pages (clearly labeled as "featured"), but never inside a candidate's personal feed. That line doesn't move.
RecruitersAre you compliant with GDPR and local hiring laws?
Yes. Jobpify is GDPR-compliant, CCPA-compliant, and follows equal opportunity hiring law in every market we operate in. We collect only the data needed to match candidates and roles — nothing more.
For enterprise customers, we can provide a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and a security questionnaire on request.
PricingHow much does it cost to post a job?
A single job posting is a flat fee. No commission on salary, no percentage of hire, no hidden markup. The exact price varies by region — you'll see it before you pay, always.
If you post more than 3 roles per month, ask us about subscription pricing. Most companies save 25–40% by switching to a monthly plan.
PricingWhat's your refund policy?
Simple and generous:
- Full refund if the listing hasn't gone live yet — no questions asked.
- Full refund if the listing went live but received fewer than 5 genuine applications in the first 7 days — request within 14 days of purchase.
- Case-by-case for everything else, handled within 14 days of purchase.
Request a refund from your dashboard, or just email support with your invoice number. No justification required.
PricingWhat payment methods do you accept?
Credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), plus bank transfer for invoices over a certain threshold. Subscriptions can also be paid by invoice on annual plans.
Invoices are generated automatically and available in your dashboard immediately after purchase.
PricingCan I add a VAT / tax number to my invoice?
Yes. Add your VAT, GST, or tax ID in your billing profile, and it will appear on every invoice automatically. If you need invoices issued retroactively with a tax ID, email support — we'll regenerate them for free.
PricingDo you offer a free trial?
Not exactly, but our refund policy works like one. Post a job, and if it doesn't receive 5 applications in the first 7 days, request a full refund. You get the exposure with none of the risk.
If you're evaluating multiple job boards, we're happy to talk through the honest comparison — sometimes the answer is that we're not the right fit for your specific role.
PrivacyDo you sell my data to third parties?
Never. Not to recruiters, not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. Your profile, your searches, and your applications stay between you and the companies you choose to engage with.
Our entire revenue comes from job posting fees — that's it. Because we don't sell data, we have no incentive to collect more than we need.
PrivacyCan I export all the data you have on me?
Yes — any time, from Settings → Privacy → Export my data. You get a machine-readable archive (JSON + CSV) of everything we hold: profile, applications, messages, searches, and payment receipts. No restrictions, no fees, no waiting period.
PrivacyDo you use tracking cookies or ads?
We use functional cookies (keeping you logged in, remembering your filters) and privacy-respecting analytics. We do not use third-party advertising trackers, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking.
You can disable non-essential cookies from Settings → Privacy → Cookie preferences — no impact on your experience.
PrivacyHow is my account secured?
Two-factor authentication is available and encouraged. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Passwords are hashed with bcrypt — we never store them in plain text.
We run annual third-party penetration tests and publish a security summary on request. If you ever suspect unauthorized access, email security@jobpify.com and a person responds within 1 hour.
CompanyWho owns Jobpify?
Jobpify is independently owned by its founders and employees. No VC funding, no external investors, no acquisition pressure. We answer to candidates and recruiters — nobody else.
That structure means we can make decisions the big boards can't: mandating salary transparency, refusing to sell ranking, and turning profitable without needing to sacrifice the user experience.
CompanyHow does Jobpify make money?
Job posting fees. That's it. Companies pay to post jobs, and volume posters pay for a monthly subscription. We don't sell candidate data, don't charge candidates to apply, don't accept payment to boost reviews, and don't hide features behind paywalls.
When a job board's revenue comes from advertising, candidates become the product. When it comes from job posts, candidates become the customer. That difference shapes every decision we make.
CompanyHow do I contact a human at Jobpify?
Email support@jobpify.com. A real person reads every message and responds within 4 hours on average, 8am–8pm UTC, Monday through Friday.
We don't use a tier-one chatbot. We don't make you "select a topic" before you can type your question. You write, we read, we answer.
CompanyAre you hiring? Can I work at Jobpify?
We hire rarely and carefully. When we do, roles are posted right here on Jobpify — complete with salary ranges, because obviously.
Even if we're not hiring, we love hearing from people who care about this problem. Send a short note to hello@jobpify.com and tell us what you'd build.
CompanyWhat's on the roadmap?
We don't publish a public roadmap, because public roadmaps turn into public promises. What we will say:
- Better interview scheduling tools (in development)
- More native ATS integrations (in development)
- Expanded local-language support for non-English markets (in development)
If you want something specific, email us. We read every request — and we've shipped features in under two weeks because a single user asked convincingly.
CompanyIs Jobpify accessible?
Yes. We follow WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines, support keyboard navigation throughout, and test with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver) on every release. If you hit an accessibility barrier anywhere on Jobpify, please email access@jobpify.com — accessibility bugs are treated as P1 issues.
CompanyI'm with the press. Who do I contact?
Email press@jobpify.com with your outlet, deadline, and what you're working on. We respond to press requests within 24 hours — usually much faster.
We're happy to share data and insights on hiring trends, salary transparency, and the future of work. We don't require approval over quotes, and we don't ask for editorial control.
We don't have that one — yet.
