FAQ

Straight answers

Including the awkward ones. If something you need isn't here, ask us.

The basics

What does it cost?
There are three plans and the first one is free for good. Free reads your whole feed and scores 5 roles a day against your resume, with the reasons attached, plus one resume review, one tailored resume and one cover letter a day. The two paid plans take the daily caps off, add the job-description check, add the morning message, and let your AI assistant put together everything an application needs. The cheaper one covers your own market. The dearer one adds roles abroad that say they sponsor or relocate. A pass buys 30 or 90 days and does not auto-renew, so there is nothing to cancel. Current prices are on the pricing page. The 15-day trial we ran for three days at the end of August is withdrawn, and Free is what replaced it. The Boolean search builder is still free for everyone and still needs no account.
Is it finished?
It works today, every morning, and it keeps getting better. We ship most weeks: new sources go in, scoring gets tuned against real feedback, and the matching gets sharper for the fields our users actually work in. That is the deal on purpose. A job market that changes every quarter is not something you serve with software that was finished once. If a score ever looks wrong to you, tell us . Those reports go straight into the scoring, and they are the fastest way it improves.
What does "QuratedAI" mean?
Curated, as in read and chosen for you rather than listed. Every job board on earth competes on how many listings it can put in front of you. That's volume, and it's all your problem to sort through. Curation is the opposite bet: read the pile so you don't have to, score what's left against your resume, and only speak up when something is genuinely worth your time. A better decision comes from less, chosen well, not more. The Q is a deliberate misspelling. It is a curation product with an AI doing the curating, and the name says both.
Do you train your model on my resume?
No. Our scoring model is a Grok foundation model fine-tuned on Azure AI Foundry against resumes and job descriptions; customer resumes are not part of that training set. Your resume is used to score jobs for you and to tailor your applications. That is what you're paying for. It never carries your name or your email into the matching engine: the profile the pipeline works from is PII-free by construction, keyed by an opaque id. And when you delete your account, the resume and the profile go with it. See privacy for the specifics.
Do I have to link Telegram?
No. Telegram is completely optional and you can skip it at signup, link it months later, or never link it at all. Nothing about your account, your matching or your plan depends on it. Here is exactly what you get on each channel: Email, always on. Your morning message goes to the address you signed up with, carrying the day's strongest role and a count of the others waiting for you. This is the guaranteed channel and you cannot end up with no delivery. Your dashboard, always on. Everything we scored for you is on your feed, including the jobs that didn't clear the bar, with the reason each one was held back. That is where the rest of the day's roles live, and nothing is only ever in a message. Telegram, if you want it. The same message on your phone rather than in an inbox, with a thumbs-up and a thumbs-down button on it so you can teach the scoring what you actually want. That feedback is the only thing you can't do from an email. We used to require it, and we were wrong to. It made people who don't use Telegram (or don't want a job hunt on the same app as their friends) bounce off a signup they'd otherwise have finished.
How do I link Telegram later, or unlink it?
Link it from your account page whenever you like. It's one tap on a bot link and it takes about five seconds. Your email digest carries on either way. You'll be assigned one of our bots, and that's the one you stay on. If you're wondering why there are several: Telegram rate-limits each bot, so we run a pool and spread users across it. It means a busy morning still delivers on time, and one bot having a bad day doesn't take everybody's alerts down with it.
When do alerts arrive?
Once every morning. The message carries the day's strongest role, with its score and the reasons behind it, and tells you how many more are waiting on your feed, so a quiet day still reports in rather than leaving you wondering whether it broke. We don't promise a precise minute. The run starts early and takes as long as it takes, so it lands sometime in the morning rather than on the dot.
How many jobs will I get?
Only roles that hold up against your profile are scored into your feed, and there is no cap on how many that can be: a strong day is a long feed. In practice it's usually a handful, and some days it's none, which is the correct answer when nothing good was posted. What arrives as a message is one role, the strongest of that morning, and the rest of the day's scored roles wait on your feed in the app. A tool that sends you something every day regardless is a tool that has stopped filtering.
What is an ATS feed, and why does it matter?
An ATS (applicant tracking system) is the software a company uses to run its hiring: Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and about seven others. When a company opens a role, it appears on their ATS first , because that's the system the recruiter actually types it into. Reaching a job board is a later, optional step that plenty of roles never take. Most ATS platforms expose a company's open roles as a machine-readable feed. QuratedAI polls 12,000+ of those feeds directly every morning, which is why you can see a role days before an aggregator lists it, and why you see roles that no aggregator will ever list. It also means the listing arrives with its full description rather than a truncated teaser, so the scoring has something real to read.
Do I have to be in India?
No. Coverage is deepest for India-based roles, for remote-friendly roles anywhere, and for EU and Japan roles that offer sponsorship. North American roles come through the company ATS feeds we poll directly, and that inventory skews heavily US and Canadian, so a US or Canadian search is well served by the same daily scan. Two things to know either way: we read company career pages rather than US-specific aggregators like Indeed or ZipRecruiter, and the run is on an India-morning schedule, so your digest lands overnight if you are in the Americas.

How it compares

How is QuratedAI different from LinkedIn job alerts?
Two differences, and they're both structural rather than cosmetic. What gets searched: a LinkedIn alert can only tell you about jobs posted on LinkedIn. QuratedAI goes to the company's own applicant-tracking system (12,000+ of them, polled directly) plus startup and remote boards, Indian aggregators, and targeted web search for roles that live on a Tally form in a Slack community and are indexed nowhere at all. What "match" means: a keyword alert fires when a title and a few filters line up, which is why "Senior" alerts return internships and a Java alert returns JavaScript. QuratedAI has an AI read the full job description against your full profile (roles, skills in priority order, years, locations, work mode, salary floor, hard rules) and score it 1 to 10 with its reasons. A weak match is never sent. What QuratedAI is not: a replacement for having a LinkedIn profile. Recruiters search there, your network lives there, and nothing here shows you to anybody. Keep the profile; replace the alert emails. The full comparison is here , including where LinkedIn wins outright.
Is this an alternative to Naukri or foundit alerts?
It's a layer on top of them rather than a replacement. Naukri and foundit.in are two of QuratedAI's twenty-plus source families. We query both with keywords built from your own roles and cities, then dedupe and score what comes back. The difference is what surrounds them. An alert from an aggregator can only see that aggregator's index, and it matches on keywords within it. QuratedAI reads those two plus company ATS feeds, Y Combinator, Hacker News hiring threads, Jobicy, RemoteOK and targeted search, then collapses the same role posted in four places into one message and scores it against your resume. The longer version is here , including when an aggregator alert is the better tool.
Is QuratedAI just another job board?
No. There's nothing to browse. No listings page, no search box, no infinite feed, no "1,247 new jobs" badge. The entire interface is a Telegram message that arrives when something scores well, and silence when nothing does. It also runs in the opposite direction from a board: boards list you to recruiters and monetise the attention. QuratedAI has no recruiter side at all. It reads listings on your behalf; nobody is browsing you.
Is this just a Telegram job alert channel?
Telegram is one optional delivery channel, and email is the guaranteed one. The distinction that matters: a Telegram job channel is a broadcast: every subscriber gets the same list, and the filtering is whatever the person running it felt like posting. QuratedAI builds a separate result set per person. Your alerts are scored against your resume, filtered by your hard rules, deduplicated against your own history, and sent to your chat only. Two people in the same city with the same job title get different messages. More on the difference here , including four questions worth asking any job alert before you subscribe.
Why not just ask ChatGPT to find me jobs?
You can, and for a one-off "what should I look at this week" it works fine. Three things it won't do: run every morning without you, read a company's ATS endpoint directly rather than whatever a search engine happens to surface, and remember every posting it has already shown you so it never repeats one. QuratedAI is that loop, automated and given real sources. The AI part is the same idea, a model reading a job description against your profile. It's the unattended daily scan and the per-person history around it that you can't get from a chat window.
Is there really a free job alert bot for India, or is there a catch?
There is a free plan, and we would rather set out its edges here than let you find them later. It was removed on 29 August 2026, replaced by a 15-day trial, and brought back on 1 September when the trial was withdrawn. Free gets you the whole feed on the website, 5 roles a day scored against your resume with the reasons, and one resume review, one tailored resume and one cover letter a day. What it does not get you is the morning message, the job-description check, or an apply packet your AI can assemble. Those are on the paid plans, along with unlimited everything. On the billing there is no catch: no card is taken for Free, a pass buys a fixed 30 or 90 days, nothing auto-renews, and deletion is one click and takes everything with it. What else you should know is about fit rather than money. The run lands on an India-morning schedule, so it arrives overnight if you are in the Americas, and coverage is deepest for India, for remote-friendly roles anywhere, and for EU and Japan roles with sponsorship. North American roles come through the company ATS feeds, which skew US and Canadian. Prices are on the pricing page.

Matching & quality

What does the 1 to 10 score actually mean?
It's how well one job fits you , judged by an AI reading the full job description against your full profile: roles, skills in priority order, experience, locations, work mode, salary floor and your hard rules. The strongest matches are flagged urgent, and a weak one isn't sent at all. The scale is anchored with worked examples for your specific field, so it doesn't collapse into "everything is a 6" the way generic scoring does.
I'm not an engineer. Will this work?
Yes, and it's a case we've deliberately built for. A generic matching engine tuned for backend engineers will reject every job with "sales" in the title. QuratedAI reads your resume, identifies your actual field, and rebuilds its title rules and its scoring scale around it. Be aware that the tech-only sources (Hacker News, Y Combinator, the remote dev boards) carry near-zero non-engineering roles. For non-tech profiles the value comes from company ATS feeds, the Indian job boards and targeted search.
Does it work for freshers and career switchers?
Yes, with one caveat worth knowing up front. The model reads your resume, works out your actual field, and rebuilds its scoring scale around it, so a fresher isn't judged against a scale calibrated for someone with eight years, and a switcher is judged on the field they're moving to if their profile and rules say so. The caveat is source mix. Entry-level and non-engineering roles come mostly from company ATS feeds and the Indian job boards; the tech-only sources carry very few. And your experience bounds are enforced as plain logic before the AI is consulted, so a role demanding ten years won't reach you regardless of how well it reads.
Will I get the same job twice?
No. Every posting you've been shown is remembered in your own private history, so a role reposted across four aggregators collapses to one, and yesterday's listings never come back.
Can I change my preferences later?
Any time. Open the app, edit your profile, resubmit. The next morning's run uses the new version. If you don't upload a new resume, the analysis from your last upload is reused, so editing a city won't cost you your skill enrichment.
What if the AI gets a score wrong?
It will sometimes. It's a language model reading a job ad, and job ads lie by omission. That's why every alert shows its reasoning and its red flags rather than just a number. You're meant to sanity-check it in five seconds, not obey it. Your hard rules, though, aren't left to the model's judgement. Geography, experience bounds and blocklists are enforced by plain logic before the AI is ever consulted.
Does it apply to jobs for me?
No, and it won't. Auto-applying is how you get blocklisted by good companies. QuratedAI finds and ranks; you decide and apply.

Your data

What happens to my resume?
Its text is extracted on our server to work out your skills, industries and field. The file is stored privately, reachable only by the app itself. It is never published, indexed, searchable, or shared with recruiters. There are no recruiters here to share it with.
Is it safe to upload my resume to an AI job service?
Judge any of them (us included) on three questions. Who else gets the file, what the AI provider does with the text, and how you get out. Ours: the file is stored privately with no public address and is never published, indexed or shared with recruiters, because there are no recruiters here. Its text goes to our AI provider to derive your skills and field, and later alongside job descriptions to score them. That's the whole reason it exists. The profile the matching pipeline actually reads carries no name, no email and no phone number. Deleting your account removes the profile, the resume and the Telegram link and stops the daily run, with no email to us required. Privacy names every processor and what each one receives. If a service won't tell you that much, that's your answer.
Do recruiters see my profile?
No. QuratedAI has no recruiter side and no candidate marketplace. Nobody is browsing you. The service reads job listings on your behalf; it doesn't list you to anyone.
Is my name really not in the profile?
Correct. The file the matching pipeline reads holds your roles, skills, experience, locations, rules and a Telegram chat id: no name, no email, no phone. It's identified by a one-way hash of your account id that can't be reversed. We keep your email separately in a private account record so we can recognise you at sign-in. The matching pipeline never reads it. See Privacy for the full picture.
Do I have to sign in with Google?
No. Google is one option and an email address with a password is the other, and both give you the same account. If you do pick Google we request only your basic profile and your email address. We can't read your Gmail, your Drive or anything else.
How do I delete everything?
Open the app, go to your account page, hit delete. Your profile, resume and Telegram link are removed and the daily run stops. You don't need to email us and there's no retention dark pattern waiting for you.
