JobScout Registration

Why Start with JobScout?

If you’re a jobseeker in the USA, you probably know how overwhelming it can be to sift through countless listings or schedule interviews. That’s exactly why we built JobScout—to take on that heavy lifting for you. Our platform uses AI to parse your resume, match you with the most relevant jobs, and even help automate interview scheduling.

But here’s the thing: the system works best when you set up your account properly from the get-go. The more accurate your info, the better your matches will be.

Getting Started with Registration

First, head to our homepage at jobscout.fedscout.com. You’ll see a clear “Sign Up” or “Job Seekers Sign Up” button—click that to begin. We keep it simple, so you won’t get bogged down in endless forms.

Before you jump in, have these things ready:

• A valid email address you check regularly (this is crucial for verification)
• A secure password that’s at least 8 characters, mixing letters and numbers
• Your full legal name and current city/state (the AI really uses this to tailor job matches)
• Your resume in PDF or Word format, ideally under 5MB

Don’t rush this part—it pays off to be precise. For example, putting “Austin, TX” instead of just “USA” helps you get local job alerts that actually matter.

The Registration Walkthrough

Step 1: Fill in Your Basic Info

Here’s what you’ll typically see on the form:

Once you submit, we’ll send you an email with a verification link. Don’t forget to check your spam folder if you don’t see it right away.

Step 2: Verify Your Email

This is a must-do step. Without verification, you won’t unlock AI matching or receive alerts. Usually, the email arrives in 2-3 minutes, but it can take up to 10 during busy times. Click the link to confirm your account.

Step 3: Build Your Profile

Now, this is where you’ll want to spend some time. Upload your resume (PDF or Word works best), add skills, and set job preferences. The more detail you provide, the smarter our AI gets about what you want.

Fine-Tuning Your Profile for Better Matches

Skills and Experience

Our AI can pick up skills three ways:

• Manual input—type in your key skills
• Resume parsing—automatic extraction from your resume
• LinkedIn integration—connect your profile for richer data

Connecting LinkedIn is optional but helps give our AI a fuller picture. It pulls in job history, endorsements, and more.

Setting Job Preferences

Don’t be too strict at first. Give yourself a bit of flexibility—you can always narrow down later.

Connecting Your Calendar and Communication Tools

Scheduling interviews can become a headache, but we’ve got you covered. Our platform integrates with popular calendars and video tools, so your interview invites show up automatically.

• Google Calendar sync
• Outlook integration
• Zoom and Microsoft Teams support
• Slack notifications for enterprise users

Set these up early on to avoid juggling multiple apps. Interview reminders pop up on your phone or desktop, so you never miss a beat.

Notification Preferences

You can customize alerts for:

• Job matches and new listings
• Application status changes
• Interview reminders
• Platform updates and new features

Start with moderate notifications to keep things manageable—you can always tweak them later.

• One-click apply to jobs for faster submissions
• Advanced filters to zero in on ideal roles
