Questions people actually ask
Pay, accounts, email alerts, old jobs, and what we do with your information. If you still can't find it, email me.
How the site works
What is JobMaxx?
A job board. That's it. We source the listings. Every public job has to show a salary range, and a role comes down when it leaves that source. I built it because most boards make money when the list looks huge, even if half of it is dead or hiding the pay.
Do I need an account to look at jobs?
No. Search is public. Make an account if you want to save jobs, get email when new ones show up, or see how well you match a listing. You apply on the company's site. You can browse without uploading anything.
How do you make money?
People looking for work don't pay, and I don't sell their information. Companies don't post here. We list jobs we source, and only when the pay is on the listing.
Is this an AI job board?
No. Search is search. The match number on a job is a simple check against what you put in your profile: skills, level, location, lowest pay you'll take. You can see what lined up and what didn't. If I ever add an AI tool, it will be optional and it will say what it did. It won't run the board.
How is this different from LinkedIn or Indeed?
Pay has to be on the listing. We source the jobs ourselves, and a role comes down when it leaves that source. There's no social feed and no paid filters.
If you're looking for a job
What does the match number mean?
It's a guess at how well you fit what the job asked for, based on your profile. Around 80 or higher usually means the listed skills, level, location, and pay line up. Under 40 usually means something important is missing. It is not a promise that a human will like you, or that you'll get an interview.
If I match well, will I get an interview?
I have no idea. Neither does the number. Use it to skip jobs that are obviously wrong for you, not as a prediction of what a hiring manager will do.
Why did a job disappear when I clicked it?
It left the source we listed it from, or someone reported it and we took it down. I'd rather you hit a dead link than spend an hour applying to a job that closed months ago.
How do email alerts work?
On the jobs page, save a search. We email you when a new job matches it. The same job is never sent twice. You can change or turn off an alert from your profile. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and that also stops anything still waiting to send.
How do I report a listing that looks wrong?
Use Report listing on the job. Pick a reason. I try to look at reports within a day. If it's junk, it comes down. Don't email me first about a single listing — the report button is the queue I actually watch.
Do you sell my data?
No. Not your profile, not your searches, not to advertisers. We use your information to run your account: match jobs and send the alerts you asked for. Applying happens on the company's site.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. On your profile you can download a copy of your data, or delete the account. That removes your profile, applications, saved jobs, and alerts. I don't keep a spare copy “just in case.”
Do I need to upload a resume?
Not to browse, and not to apply. The job page sends you to the company's own form. Their form, their rules. A resume file on your profile is optional, and we don't send it with that link.
Where the jobs come from
Can a company post a job here?
No. We source the listings ourselves from career pages we choose to include. If a job is not on one of those sources, it is not on JobMaxx.
What has to be true before a job is listed?
A salary range. A real description from the source. If the pay is missing, the job stays off the public board.
How does a closed job come down?
We recheck the source. When the role is gone there, it comes off search here. Reports can take a listing down sooner.
Where do I apply?
On the company's own site. The job page sends you to that application. We don't sit between you and their hiring team.
You can search without an account. Sign up if you want saved jobs, alerts, and match scores.
Pay on the listing. Jobs we source. Closed roles come down.
