Question 1

What is Jobspiq and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Jobspiq is an AI-powered job discovery and career intelligence platform designed for technology professionals. It aggregates tech opportunities directly from company career portals and verified platforms, evaluates architectural resonance using 768-dimensional vector embeddings, and delivers instant notifications alongside application tracking and interview prep tools.

Question 2

Is Jobspiq free to use for candidates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Core job search, multi-source feed discovery, AI vector profile resonance calculations, and daily alert notifications are free for tech candidates.

Question 3

How do I create a candidate account?

Accepted Answer

You can sign up in under 60 seconds with your email (verified via 6-digit OTP) or Google OAuth. Once registered, upload your PDF resume or enter your core tech stack to immediately unlock tailored match scores.

Question 4

Where does Jobspiq source job listings from?

Accepted Answer

Jobspiq continuously indexes openings across direct company career portals, modern ATS platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday), and verified public job aggregators on an automated 30-minute crawling cycle.

Question 5

How frequently is the public job feed updated?

Accepted Answer

Our distributed Celery ingestion workers run continuous crawl cycles every 30 minutes, ensuring newly published roles appear within minutes of being posted on company career portals.

Question 6

Can I filter jobs by specific Indian cities or remote status?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can filter by role discipline (Backend, Frontend, Fullstack, DevOps, Data/AI), work mode (Remote, Hybrid, On-site), Indian tech hub locations (Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Chennai), and experience seniority.

Question 7

What is 768-dimensional semantic matching?

Accepted Answer

Standard job boards use basic text string search, which fails when your resume uses synonyms or related frameworks. Jobspiq converts both job requirements and candidate profiles into dense 768-dimensional vector embeddings (using nomic-ai models and pgvector) to evaluate conceptual architecture depth, scale experience, and framework resonance.

Question 8

How is my match percentage score calculated?

Accepted Answer

Resonance scores are computed from candidate profile embeddings vs job embeddings, weighted by must-have technical skills (3x multiplier), with domain penalties applied for mismatches in tech stack silos or non-engineering job titles.

Question 9

Why does Jobspiq provide match explanations?

Accepted Answer

Every scored match highlights specific aligned skills and identifies optional gap areas so you understand precisely why a role fits before investing time into an application.

Question 10

Which channels can I receive job alerts on?

Accepted Answer

Jobspiq supports Telegram notifications via our official bot (@jobspiq), Mobile Push notifications on our Android app, Web Push notifications, and periodic Email digests.

Question 11

Can I adjust the score threshold for notifications?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In your Notification Settings, you can configure your minimum score threshold anywhere from 50% to 95% (default is 70%). You will only receive instant alerts for roles scoring at or above your preference.

Question 12

How does Jobspiq prevent repetitive alert spam?

Accepted Answer

We enforce a strict 7-day per-job deduplication guard and a 5-minute burst protection cooldown, ensuring you never receive multiple redundant alerts for the same role.

When you upload your resume PDF, our skill extractor identifies canonical engineering skills across 250+ technical taxonomies, projects, and architecture experience to build your Professional DNA vector profile.
