Matching Jobs Overview
Matching Jobs is Callings.ai's AI-powered job discovery feature that automatically finds and scores job opportunities based on your background, skills, and preferences. It continuously scans a curated database of millions of job postings and presents a personalized list of matches with scores from 0 to 100 indicating fit strength.
Two Tabs: Job Search v2 and Legacy
The Find Matching Jobs popup has two tabs:
- Job Search v2 is the primary experience: the same AI Job Search you'll find on the Job Search page, embedded in the popup. You describe what you're looking for in plain English (or attach a resume), save searches as tabs, and can enable a daily email per saved search.
- Version 1 (Legacy) is the original experience covered throughout this guide. It produces a single automatically-curated list of matches based on your primary resume and the preferences you configure on the Preferences page. The Legacy tab is only shown on accounts created before the Job Search v2 transition; newer accounts see just Job Search v2.
The popup remembers which tab you used last, so you can stick with the version you prefer.
If you previously used the Version v2 (Beta) tab: it has been folded into Job Search v2. Any v2 search you had subscribed to daily emails for, or whose description you had edited yourself, now appears automatically as a saved search in Job Search v2, fully editable, with its email subscription intact.
How Matching Works
The matching algorithm analyzes your primary resume and preferences, then scores each job based on skills alignment, experience relevance, location, and other factors to generate a 0-100 match score.
- AI-Powered Analysis: Your primary resume is processed by a dedicated AI model to make recommendations based on multiple criteria. If you have multiple resumes, only the one marked as primary is used for job matching.
- Job Database Scan: The model queries a constantly refreshed job pool, applying semantic similarity and relevance scoring.
- Score Generation: Each job receives a Match Score (0 to 100) indicating how closely it fits your profile.
Key Points
- Real‑time updates as you refine your background information and preferences.
- Once a job is added to the Job Tracker, a detailed breakdown of the matching score is available on the Job Detail page under the Evaluate tab in the Job Fit Report section.
Understanding Match Scores
- Global Match Score: Each score represents a global match that incorporates multiple parameters including skills, experience, location, and other relevant factors.
Preferences
Configure your job matching preferences to receive the most relevant recommendations. Each tab in Find Matching Jobs has its own preferences:
- The Job Search v2 tab is driven by your saved searches: edit the search text, attach a resume, and toggle the daily email per search. See AI Job Search.
- The Legacy (V1) tab uses a structured panel with Interests, Filters, and Notifications.
See Setting Preferences for the Legacy panel.
Interests
Define your professional interests to help the AI understand what types of roles and industries appeal to you. This includes areas of expertise, preferred job functions, and career directions you'd like to explore.
Filters
Set specific criteria to narrow down your job matches: - Location: Specify preferred cities, regions, or remote work options. - Salary Range: Define your expected compensation range. - Job Type: Filter by full-time, part-time, contract, or other employment types.
Daily Job Updates by Email
Stay informed about new opportunities that match your profile by enabling daily email notifications. This feature sends you a curated list of newly posted jobs that align with your primary resume and preferences, ensuring you never miss a relevant opportunity.
Note: If you have multiple resumes, the daily email notifications use only your primary resume for matching. Update your primary resume designation to change which resume drives your email recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often are matches refreshed?
A: Matches are refreshed each time you edit your search preferences, and otherwise updated daily.
Q: Why am I not seeing many matches?
A: This could mean your preferences are too restrictive, or there simply aren't many open roles matching your profile right now for the given location. Note that it may take a couple of days for your matches to be fully up to date after initial setup.
Q: Can I hide jobs I'm not interested in?
A: Yes! Click "Not Interested" on any job card, and it won't appear in your matches again.
Q: What's considered a "good" match score?
A: Generally: 80-100 = excellent fit, 60-79 = good fit with some gaps, 40-59 = possible fit if you're flexible, below 40 = significant misalignment.
Q: Do match scores consider salary requirements?
A: Yes, salary expectations can be set in your preferences and are factored into the matching algorithm.
Q: What's the difference between the Job Search v2 and Legacy tabs?
A: The Legacy (V1) tab is the original automatic recommendations driven by your primary resume and the Preferences page. The Job Search v2 tab is the full AI Job Search experience: plain-English saved searches over a curated, constantly refreshed job database, with optional resume attachment and a daily email per saved search.
Q: Where did the Version v2 (Beta) tab go?
A: It was merged into Job Search v2. Searches you had subscribed to by email, or whose description you had edited yourself, were transferred automatically as saved searches (editable, subscription intact). Untouched auto-generated entries were not carried over; attach the resume in the Job Search box to get the same results.
