Job Matches vs Job Board

Your Job Matches and Job Board both give you access to Simplify's entire job database, but help you navigate it in different ways.

Job Matches focus on personalization. They are a smaller, curated set of opportunities crafted around your profile, preferences, and goals so you can quickly review roles that are more aligned with what you are actually looking for.

The Job Board is your access point to Simplify's full database of available jobs, with search and filtering tools that help you explore opportunities more broadly.

Using Job Matches

Job Matches surfaces a smaller batch of personalized recommendations each day using information from your:

• profile

• Match Preferences

• resumes

• skills

• work authorization preferences

• prior activity and feedback

Instead of manually searching through listings, you review opportunities that Simplify has already tailored toward your search.

This is especially useful when:

• you want roles already aligned with your interests and experience

• you are still exploring what kinds of opportunities fit you best

• you want to quickly review a focused set of opportunities each day

• you prefer recommendations over manual filtering

Using the Job Board

The Job Board gives you more flexibility to explore opportunities across companies, industries, locations, and role types using search and filtering tools.

This is useful when:

• you already know the company, role, or location you want

• you want to explore opportunities outside your Match Preferences

• you are searching across multiple industries or career paths

• you want more control over filtering and discovery

Because the Job Board gives you access to Simplify's full job database, it is useful for broader exploration and more targeted searches beyond your daily Matches.

How Matches and the Job Board work together

Job Matches and the Job Board work together to support different parts of your job search, from personalized recommendations to broader exploration.

For example:

• you might use Matches to review curated recommendations during the week

• then use the Job Board to search for a specific company, internship season, or niche role category

Both experiences also connect into the broader Simplify platform, including:

• Simplify Copilot

• the Job Tracker

• Match Preferences

• recruiter visibility settings

• profile-based recommendations

Which one should you start with?

If you are newer to Simplify, Job Matches is usually the easiest place to begin because the recommendations are already personalized to your profile from the start.

As your search becomes more targeted or exploratory, the Job Board becomes more useful for broader discovery and more specific filtering.
