Common Scenarios When You’ll Contact Us
Here’s what users tell us they often need help with—and what we typically do to get things back on track:
- Resume and profile upload problems: We check your upload and help fix formatting or parsing issues so the AI reads your data correctly.
- Job matching isn’t relevant: We help adjust your search filters and AI preferences to surface better matches.
- Questions about auto-apply: We explain how your profile info is used and how to track sent applications.
Optimizing Your Profile for Better Matches
One thing users don’t always realize is that a complete and accurate profile makes a huge difference. If the AI isn’t showing you the right jobs, it’s often because some key details are missing.
Handling Billing and Subscription Concerns
Billing questions are common, and we recommend checking your bank for declined payments before contacting us. If the issue isn’t on your end, we’ll help clarify and fix it.
How Long Will It Take to Hear Back?
We know waiting is frustrating, so here’s what to expect from our team:
- During business hours (9 AM – 6 PM EST, Mon-Fri): Chat replies usually come within 10-15 minutes. Emails get responses within 4-6 hours. Phone support is immediate for premium users.
- Outside business hours: Chat messages queue for the next business day, emails get reviewed first thing in the morning, and phone lines are closed, but you can leave a voicemail.
- Weekends: Limited coverage except for urgent technical issues like platform outages.

What to Prepare Before Contacting Us
To get the most out of your support request, having the right info ready really helps. It speeds up diagnosis and gets you answers faster.
Here’s a quick checklist of what to include in your message or chat:

- Steps you took before the issue happened
- Exact error messages or screenshots if possible
And just so you know—never share your password or credit card details over email or chat. We’ll never ask for those.
