Stop scrolling job boards. Start preparing for interviews.
Candidate Ally is an AI job search assistant that works for you, not for recruiters. Your assistant, Alex, finds jobs that fit your background, shows you how well each one fits and its biggest gap, and helps you prepare — in your own voice.
No sign-up needed: you start as a guest, and your data stays with that browser. Alex never applies to jobs or contacts employers for you.
A long job search drains the energy you need for the interview.
Hours of scrolling, copying job descriptions into a chatbot, and guessing whether your CV even gets read. Then silence, or a rejection with no reason.
Candidate Ally takes the repetitive part off your plate — searching, filtering and checking fit — so you open the app and know what to focus on today.
How it works
- Step 1Tell Alex who you areUpload your CV, or paste the profile you already built with ChatGPT or Gemini. Alex proposes what to add to your profile, and you confirm each change.
- Step 2Alex searches and filtersIt looks for new job listings that match your target roles and location, and checks each one against the job titles, companies, sectors and skills you told it to avoid.
- Step 3An honest fit check for each jobEvery promising job gets a deeper evaluation against your real experience: a fit label, the main reason, and the biggest gap, so you can judge it for yourself.
- Step 4You apply, preparedTailor your CV to a job, draft a follow-up email, and get help preparing for the interview from your real experience.
Like an applicant tracking system, but for the candidate
A job shortlist, not a feed
Matches are grouped into Recommended, Waiting for evaluation and Partial fits, so you know what to look at today.
Exclusions you set, checked on every job
Jobs whose title or employer matches your exclusions are removed before scoring. Excluded sectors and skills are checked in every fit evaluation.
A CV that still sounds like you
Tailored CVs are built from your own CV and profile. Every change is highlighted, and you keep, revise or discard it before downloading a Word file.
Interview help from your real experience
Practise explaining what you actually did, so you can tell your own story under pressure.
A profile you can see and edit
Everything Alex knows about you is in your profile panel. Change it, or export and delete all of it, whenever you want.
A briefing when you come back
When there are new matches since your last visit, you see a short summary the next time you open the app.
What Alex will never do
An assistant you can't trust adds anxiety instead of removing it. Alex is built and tested against these rules, and you review every change before it's saved. If you ever catch it breaking one, tell us at contact@candidateally.com.
- Invent experience, skills or facts you didn't give it
- Claim it did something it didn't do
- Call a weak match a good one to keep you hopeful
- Rewrite your CV in a voice that isn't yours
- Apply to jobs or contact employers on your behalf
Frequently asked questions
Candidate Ally is an AI job search assistant for candidates. Its agent, Alex, learns your background, searches for matching jobs, filters out the ones you don't want, evaluates each promising job against your real experience, and helps you tailor your CV and prepare for interviews. Think of it as an applicant tracking system that works for the candidate instead of the employer.
Yes. Candidate Ally is free during the beta. If we introduce paid plans later, we will tell you before anything changes and you will never be charged without choosing a plan.
No. Candidate Ally never applies to jobs, sends messages to employers or recruiters, or contacts anyone on your behalf. It prepares the information; you decide where to apply and you send every application yourself.
First, jobs whose title or employer matches your exclusions are removed. The rest are scored against your profile, and the promising ones get a deeper evaluation that compares the job description with your experience. You get a fit label (Strong, Good, Partial or Weak), the main reason, and the biggest gap. It is a recommendation to help you decide, not a decision about you.
It shouldn't, and you stay in control. A tailored CV is built only from your CV and profile, employers, job titles and dates are checked against your original CV, and every change is highlighted for you to keep, revise or discard before anything is saved.
We never sell your data and we do not use it to train our own models. To answer you, your messages and profile are sent to the third-party AI model providers we use. The Privacy Policy lists every service that receives your data and why.
