What is automatic job search?

Automatic job search uses software to reduce repetitive work such as checking vacancies, filtering by role or location, comparing jobs with a CV, and tracking application history.

What should users control?

Users should control target roles, locations, CV selection, salary preferences, employment type, excluded roles, excluded companies, and factual answers.

How ORDAL approaches automation

ORDAL lets users define strategy first, then searches using those rules, checks relevance and duplicate history, and runs supported application workflows. AI is optional.
