💡 How to improve your search results
Our matching system is not a simple keyword engine. It analyzes the 4 dimensions of your profile — your skills, the role you are looking for, your ideal company (culture, values, atmosphere), and your practical preferences — to show you only the jobs that truly match you and for which you have a real chance of getting a response.
🔍 How to optimize your results with Job Matching
Welcome to the Jungle's matching system analyzes your criteria and profile to present you with the most relevant jobs.
📥 The information you can control
To refine your results, you can adjust these criteria at any time:
- Target job title: the role you are aiming for (e.g., "Senior Product Manager", "Lead Backend Developer").
- Contract type: permanent contract (CDI), fixed-term contract (CDD), freelance, internship, work-study program (Alternance).
- Remote work policy: fully remote, hybrid, or on-site.
- Location: city.
- Experience range: minimum and maximum years of experience.
- Cultural preferences: the values and work environment you are looking for.
💡 Good to know: the system also automatically analyzes your resume and past experience to suggest jobs that are consistent with your background.
🎯 How jobs are selected and ranked
The system works in 3 steps to ensure relevant results:
Step 1 — Non-negotiable criteria ✅
The system starts by filtering out jobs that do not match your basic requirements:
- Desired contract type.
- Experience level required by the company vs. your experience.
- Remote work policy.
- Geographic location and search radius.
⚠️ Important: if a job does not meet these criteria, it will never appear in your results.
Step 2 — The relevance filter 🚪
For a job to be suggested to you, it must be relevant on at least one of these two aspects:
- Job title: the job matches the role you are targeting.
- Your experience: your background matches the profile the company is looking for.
If the job is not relevant enough on both dimensions, it will not be shown to you.
Step 3 — The final ranking 🏆
Jobs that have passed the first two steps are then ranked according to a relevance score that combines:
- Job title match (the most important criterion):
- Measures how closely the role you are looking for matches the one on offer.
- Fit with your experience:
- Compares your professional background with the ideal profile the company is looking for.
- Shared skills:
- Each skill in common increases the score.
- Cultural match:
- If you have filled in your cultural preferences, companies aligned with your values are prioritized.
💡 How to improve your search results
Optimize your skills on your profile page:
- Add specific technical skills (languages, tools, methodologies).
- Include relevant soft skills for your field.
- Update this list regularly as your experience evolves.
Refine your target job title:
- Be specific: prefer "UX Product Designer" over "Designer".
- Use standard job titles recognized by the market.
- Change your title based on your results to test different formulations.
Adjust your filters gradually:
- Start with strict criteria, then broaden them if needed.
- Explore different remote work policies if you are flexible.
Complete your cultural preferences:
- Describe the type of environment in which you thrive.
- Mention the values that matter to you (innovation, social impact, autonomy, etc.).
- Be authentic to find a true cultural match.
