Frequently Asked Questions

We look at the language patterns employers use. Phrases like 'required,' '3+ years,' and 'must have' signal hard requirements. Phrases like 'preferred,' 'bonus if,' and 'familiarity with' signal nice-to-haves. It's not perfect, but it's more reliable than guessing -- and it saves you from self-selecting out of roles where you meet 80% of the actual requirements.
Things like: a junior role requiring 7+ years of experience, 'fast-paced environment' repeated multiple times (often code for understaffed), unreasonably long lists of required technologies, vague job titles, and phrases that suggest the role is actually three jobs in one. We've seen thousands of postings -- these patterns are consistent.
In most cases, yes -- especially if you hit 60-70% of the must-haves. Job descriptions are wish lists, not checklists. Studies consistently show that candidates (especially women) self-select out too early. Our tool helps you see which requirements are truly essential so you can make a more informed call.
It's a ballpark based on the role title, seniority indicators, location clues, and industry. We cross-reference against market data for similar postings. It won't replace researching on Glassdoor or Levels.fyi, but it gives you a reasonable starting range -- especially useful when the posting doesn't list compensation.
Currently it's one at a time, but you can run as many analyses as you want. A good strategy is to analyze 5-10 similar postings and look for common keywords across all of them -- those are the terms you absolutely need on your resume.
