What is Job Matching?

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.
