Everything on KaderJo, one step at a time.

Create an account → I am looking for a job

You need a name, an email and a password of at least eight characters. Choosing I am looking for a job matters: it decides which dashboard you get and which plans you are shown. Pick wrong and you will be looking at recruiter screens.

• Use an email you will still have after you change jobs — not your work address.
• Your name becomes your public display name; you can change it later.
• The free Starter plan is applied automatically. No card, no trial clock.

My profile

My profile → About you

My profile → Experience → Add a role

Edit or remove any role from the list; changes are saved as you go and your totals recalculate immediately.

My profile → Education → Add a qualification

My profile → Skills

Type a skill and suggestions appear from what is already on the platform, with a count beside each. Picking an existing spelling puts you in the same bucket as everyone else who has it, which is exactly what you want.

• Every skill an employer asks for and you have listed pushes your match score up. Skills carry the most weight of any filter.
• Do not pad the list with things you cannot discuss. Employers unlock you and then ask.
• On a paid plan the Who looked tab shows how rare each of your skills is here. A rare one is worth leading with.

My profile → More sections

The form changes with the kind you are adding — a language asks how well you speak it, a certification asks for a credential ID, and neither is asked of the other. Languages are filterable, so add them even if they feel obvious.

My profile → Visibility

This tab also holds your profile address — the /talent/your-name part of the link you can share. Changing it breaks any link you have already sent, so pick it once.

At the bottom is who unlocked you: the employers who have spent a credit on your profile, and when. That list is yours to see.

My profile → Visibility → Publish my profile

• You need a headline and at least one role — roughly a quarter of the profile filled in. A near-empty profile helps nobody, so it is refused with a message saying what is short.
• Once published, the status in the sidebar reads Live in search and a View public page link appears.
• Untick it any time. You disappear from search immediately; your data stays.

My profile → Resumes → New version

Save, then PDF to download or Preview to see it in a tab first. Every generated CV carries the site logo small in one corner.

Visibility → View public page

Your public profile carries a QR code that opens it when scanned, with the KaderJo mark in the middle. Download PNG for anything on screen, Download SVG for print — SVG stays sharp at any size, so use it on a printed CV or a card. Copy link gives you the plain address.

• The code points at your profile address, so it keeps working as long as you do not change your slug.
• Hidden and unpublished profiles get no code — there would be nothing to open.
• Print it at 2 cm or larger. Smaller than that and phone cameras struggle.

My profile → Messages

Conversations arrive without a page reload and the unread count appears in your menu and in the bar at the top of your dashboard. Enter sends, Shift + Enter starts a new line.

Applying to a posted job — open a role from the jobs page and use the apply box at the bottom. You can attach one of your CV versions or send your profile as it is, plus a short note. Your match score against that role is worked out automatically, and you can see the status of your application on the job page.

Upgrading takes you through the shop, and nothing is charged before you have an account. If your payment is waiting for approval — a bank transfer, say — your dashboard says so, with the order number, instead of asking you to buy again.

• Your email and phone are never public. They appear only to an employer who has spent a credit on you.
• Nobody without a plan sees your name. Not visitors, not search engines.
• Anonymous mode hides your employers too, not just your name — the company names in your history are withheld until you are unlocked.
• Your salary expectation is never displayed to anyone. It is only used to decide whether you fit a budget filter.
• You can see who unlocked you, on the Visibility tab.
• Hidden means hidden. Switch to hidden and you are out of every search immediately.

Create an account → I am hiring

Name, work email, password of at least eight characters. Choosing I am hiring is what puts you on the employer side — the candidate screens and the CV builder are hidden from you, and the plans you are shown are the hiring ones.

Plans → For people hiring

• Plans come with a bundle of credits and a length in days.
• You cannot buy before you have an account — the plan has to attach to someone. Follow a buy link while signed out and you are asked to register first, then taken straight to checkout.
• Credits from a new plan are added to whatever you already have. They do not reset.

Employer dashboard

Employer dashboard → Company profile

Your public page carries its own QR code with the KaderJo mark in the middle, downloadable as PNG or SVG — useful on a stand at a careers fair.

Employer dashboard → Search

Add a skill or two, set a minimum number of years, and stop. Every filter you add narrows the ranking, and the most common mistake is stacking eight of them and concluding the database is empty.

• Skills — type and pick from the suggestions, which show how many people have each. The buttons underneath are the most common skills on the platform, with counts.
• Sort — best match, recently active, most experience, most complete, or by name.
• Facets — the city and job title fields suggest values that actually exist here, so you are not guessing.
• Clear — resets everything. The chips above the results show what is currently applied; click one to drop it.

The count above the results reads something like 12 match your filters, ranked first — of 340 in the database. That is telling you both how many fit and how much you are looking at.

Every result carries a ring with a percentage. It only counts the filters you actually used, so it is a score against your requirements rather than a general rating of the person.

Under the ring, in teal, is what matched — 2 of 2 skills · title matches. Under that, in amber, is what is short — Diploma, you asked for Bachelor or 1 year short. Read the amber line before you dismiss anyone; it is often something you do not care about.

Any result card → Unlock · 1 credit

• An unlock is permanent. Come back in six months and they are still open.
• It belongs to the account, not the person — everyone on your team sees it, so nobody pays twice for the same candidate.
• The candidate is told, and can see that your company unlocked them.
• Run out of credits and the unlock button explains it and points you at a top-up rather than failing silently.

Account → Top up credits

Your balance sits in the sidebar of every employer screen. When it runs low, buy a credit pack — you are not forced to upgrade to a bigger plan just to get another ten unlocks. Packs are added to your balance as soon as the order is approved and do not expire while your plan is active.

The Account page also shows your credit history: every top-up and every unlock, with a date, so a balance is never a mystery.

Employer dashboard → Pipelines

• Create one per role — "Backend hires Q3", not "Candidates".
• Add people straight from a result card with Add to pipeline. You do not have to unlock someone to shortlist them.
• Move each person through the stages, from shortlisted to hired, from a dropdown on the row.
• Everyone on your team sees the same pipelines, so two people do not chase the same candidate.

Search → Save this search

Get a search you like, save it with a name, and choose whether to be emailed when new people match it. Alerts arrive daily or weekly and list the new matches with their scores. Re-run a saved search any time from the Saved searches tab.

This is the one to set up if you hire the same kind of person repeatedly. New profiles that fit reach you without anybody remembering to look.

Employer dashboard → Job posts

Once published, the job page shows your requirements and an apply box. Open the post from your dashboard and you get two lists: the people who applied, each with a match score against the requirements you set and a status you can move along, and people who already fit this role — candidates from the database who never applied. That second list is usually the better one.

Employer dashboard → Messages

• Replies appear without reloading, and unread counts show in your menu and the bar at the top.
• Enter sends; Shift + Enter makes a new line.
• Attach up to five files per message, 10 MB each — job descriptions, offer letters, test tasks.
• Files are only readable by the two people in the conversation.
• You must unlock a candidate before the first message. After that the thread stays open.

Employer dashboard → Team

The Team tab appears when your plan includes more than one seat. Invite a colleague by name and work email; they get a link to set their own password. The tab shows seats used against seats included.

On a plan that includes it, Export CSV gives you the current result set as a spreadsheet. Contact details are blank for anyone you have not unlocked, and the file opens correctly in Excel with Arabic names intact.

• Contact details need an unlock. Everything else on a profile you can read for free.
• Anonymous candidates stay anonymous until you unlock them — including the names of their current and past employers. You can still see everything about what they can do.
• Hidden profiles are not in your results at all. There is no way to see them, and no count telling you they exist.
• Salary expectations are not displayed. You can filter by your budget; you cannot read someone's number off their profile.
• Candidates see who unlocked them. Your company name is on that list.
• You cannot message someone you have not unlocked. No exceptions, no bulk approaches.
