Sonara AI Platform

See how Sonara’s AI-driven tools simplify job matching and interview automation for job seekers across the USA.

Getting Started: Your Profile Sets the Stage

Look, your profile is the foundation of everything on our platform. Without detailed info, the AI can’t do its job well. When you sign up, all it takes is your email to get going, but the real power comes from filling out your professional background carefully. This means listing your work history, education, skills, and career goals in a way that tells the full story of who you are professionally.

We’ve noticed that the folks who take time here get way better matches. It’s not just about job titles—our AI tries to understand how your skills fit different roles. So, getting specific helps a lot.

Profile Section What to Include Why It Matters
Work Experience Job titles, responsibilities, dates Helps AI gauge your seniority and fit
Education & Certifications Degrees, trainings, licenses Validates qualifications and skills
Skills Technical & soft skills Matches to job requirements precisely
Preferences Industries, roles, locations Filters jobs to align with your goals

Uploading Your Resume and Letting AI Parse It

Uploading your resume isn’t just for storage here. Our AI actually reads through it—extracting details and comparing them with what you entered manually. This dual approach makes sure nothing slips through the cracks.

If you skip this step initially, no worries—you can come back anytime. But honestly, the more info the AI has upfront, the better and faster it works.

What Our Resume Parser Does

  • Extracts key info from PDFs or Word docs
  • Maps skills to relevant job criteria
  • Analyzes experience patterns to suggest fitting roles

Setting Your Job Preferences with Precision

Now, let’s talk about how you tell the AI what you want. The more precise you are, the closer the matches get. That means not just picking a city or salary, but really dialing in details.

Location and Salary Details

You can choose specific cities, metro areas, or even remote work options. Plus, set how far you’re willing to commute or whether you’d consider relocating. For salary, our slider tool lets you set minimum expectations. Be realistic—this helps the AI avoid wasting time on jobs below your threshold.

Industry and Role Targeting

Choose exact job titles, industries, and company sizes you want. Also, add keywords that truly reflect your skills and goals—no buzzwords needed. The AI uses these to filter jobs smartly.

How Our AI Matches You to Jobs

Here’s where the tech really shines. Our AI goes beyond simple keyword searches. It reads job descriptions and compares them to your profile using natural language processing. This means it understands context and relevance rather than just matching words.

Core AI Matching Factors

  • Skill Relevance Scoring: Aligns your abilities with job needs
  • Experience Level Assessment: Matches jobs to your seniority
  • Cultural Fit Indicators: Checks if company values suit you
  • Growth Potential Analysis: Finds roles that help advance your career

Plus, the AI learns from your feedback. Mark applications as relevant or not, and it fine-tunes future matches based on that input.

Natural Language Processing Understands job descriptions deeply More accurate matches
Feedback Loop Adjusts based on your input Improves over time
Contextual Relevance Considers experience and growth Better career fit
