Setting your Job Match Preferences

Your match preferences help shape the kinds of opportunities you see across Job Matches.

Every Match you receive is personalized using the information you provide across your profile, resumes, and matching preferences. As your interests, goals, or search priorities change, your Matches can evolve alongside them.

Updating your preferences at any time

You first set your preferences during onboarding through the matching quiz, but you can always revisit and update your preferences whenever your search changes. Whether that means exploring new role types, expanding into different locations, adjusting work preferences, or narrowing in on a more specific path.

You can access your preferences from:

• the Match Preferences button on your dashboard

• the "Change preferences →" link inside the "Why This Job is a Match" panel on any Match you get

Your previous answers stay saved, so updating preferences feels more like refining your search over time than restarting it.

Once changes are saved, future Matches begin reflecting those updates as new recommendations are generated.

Managing Match email notifications

Simplify can also send new Job Matches directly to your inbox.

You can choose whether to receive Match emails:

• daily

• weekly

• or never

Your notification preference can be updated anytime from your dashboard and only takes a few seconds to change.

Being more specific with your search

The matching quiz is designed to support more than a single target role.

You can expand your preferences across multiple role types and specializations, different geographies, remote or in-person work preferences, salary expectations, company sizes, industries, and technical interests.

You can also specify what you do not want to see, whether that is a certain industry, type of company, or technical stack.

That extra detail helps Simplify understand the difference between roles you are simply qualified for and roles you are actually interested in pursuing.

Understanding why jobs are matched to you

Every Job Match includes a "Why This Job is a Match" panel that explains which parts of your background or preferences aligned with the role.

We included this to make recommendations easier to understand and easier to refine over time. If a Match feels especially relevant, you can quickly see what contributed to it. If something feels off, the panel often helps explain why that role surfaced in the first place.

Sometimes a Match is influenced by:

• a specialization you selected earlier

• a geography preference you forgot was enabled

• experience or skills pulled from your profile

• broader preferences connected to your search

That visibility gives you more control over how your Matches evolve over time instead of leaving recommendations feeling random or opaque.

Helping improve future Matches

There are two main ways to improve future recommendations inside Job Matches.

The first is direct feedback through the thumbs up/down controls on Matches themselves. This helps us learn which kinds of opportunities feel more or less relevant to your search over time.

The second is platform feedback through the Feedback tab. If your Matches consistently feel misaligned even after updating your preferences and profile, feedback helps our team review and improve the matching experience more directly.

Improving recommendation quality is an active part of how we build Job Matches, and user feedback plays an important role in that process.
