How Rolehound works

You have an account. Here is the whole loop, so you know what runs on its own and what is waiting on you.

It finds roles for you

Four sources feed one list. Keyword searches built from your search titles run against a job-board aggregator covering UK vacancies. Job-alert emails that arrive in a connected mailbox are read for the roles inside them. Job URLs you paste in are fetched and read. And the careers boards of companies you follow on the Watchlist are checked directly. All of that repeats in the background on a schedule, so new postings arrive without you going to look for them.

It drops what you would not want

The same role posted to four boards collapses into one record. What is left is measured against your own criteria: in the UK, above your salary floor, and inside the longest commute you will accept from your home postcode. A role that clearly fails one of those is dropped there and then. A role that cannot be judged — an unfamiliar town, no salary stated — is kept and flagged for review instead, because losing a real job to an unrecognised place name is worse than glancing at one you end up dismissing.

It scores the rest against your CV

Every role that gets through is read against your profile and comes back with a fit score, a one-line summary, the strengths it found and the concerns it has. Those land on the Suggestions tab, where you can sort and filter by score. Scores re-run when your profile changes, so editing your CV re-sorts the list rather than leaving yesterday's judgements on top of it.

You decide, then it drafts

Nothing is written until you ask for it. Pick a role and Rolehound rewrites your CV around that particular job, writes a matching cover letter, and renders both as PDFs. That takes longer than a web page reasonably should, so it happens in the background and the documents appear on the application when they are ready.

Rolehound does not submit applications. It drafts, and it hands you two PDFs. Deciding to apply, and the act of applying, stay with you.

It tracks the replies

Every application sits as a card on the Pipeline board. Connect a mailbox and incoming replies are matched to your open applications and move the right card forward on their own. Two rules bound that: cards only ever move forward, and a rejection is flagged for you to confirm rather than applied on Rolehound's say-so.

Next, the setup wizard covers the three things Rolehound needs from you before any of this starts. For the same pipeline in more detail read How it works, and for where roles come from see Finding jobs.
