How it works
Your search, on autopilot
Five minutes of setup. Then your job search runs itself.
1. Upload your CV — get a free professional rewrite
Drop in your CV (PDF or Word). Our AI reads it like a recruiter would: it extracts your experience, education, skills and projects, scores the CV out of 100, and tells you exactly what's weak. Then it automatically rewrites the whole thing — same facts, sharper wording, formatted to pass the ATS screening software most companies use. Download it in about two minutes and use it anywhere, even outside DiscoverRoles.
2. Set your preferences once
Target job titles, preferred locations, minimum salary, remote/hybrid/office, companies you'd never work for, and your quality bar — the minimum match score worth your time. This takes two minutes and it's the last configuration you'll ever do.
3. We hunt while you live your life
Every few hours, around the clock, DiscoverRoles searches job listings across South African boards and international remote listings through official APIs, plus Greenhouse and Lever career pages. Every new job that fits your profile gets pulled in automatically — and screened for scam and fake-posting red flags, so a dodgy 'pay-to-apply' listing never reaches you. No scrolling, no searching, no data burned on job boards.
4. Every job scored honestly against YOUR CV
Each discovered job is compared to your actual experience and preferences — and even your commute — for a 0–100 match score, a plain-language explanation, the requirements you're missing, a risk level, and a recommended action. We'd rather tell you to skip a job than let you waste an application on it.
5. We research the company, then write your application
For jobs worth pursuing, DiscoverRoles researches the actual employer — what they do, their values, recent news — and builds the whole pack: your CV re-tailored for that role, a cover letter grounded in real specifics, and complete answers to the application questions. Every answer is finished and ready to submit — no blanks, no '[to be confirmed]'. And it's all built strictly from your real experience; we never invent anything.
6. Apply in one click — anywhere
Review the pack, edit anything, and approve. Our browser extension then fills the application form on any site — Pnet, LinkedIn, Workday — in one click (it even answers questions it's never seen, using your CV and the company); you just hit submit. Where a job has a recruiter, we draft a warm intro that sells your strengths and send it from your own inbox. Premium users can enable Autopilot: strong matches are prepared automatically, with strict guardrails, waiting every morning.
7. Track it, prep for it, land it
Every application lives in your tracker: submitted, interview, offer — with follow-up reminders at the right time. Reach the interview stage and DiscoverRoles generates likely questions with model answers built from your real CV, so you walk in ready. Prefer WhatsApp? Get match alerts and approve drafts right from your chats.
Honesty is a feature
DiscoverRoles never fabricates experience, qualifications, degrees, or employment history — it's hard-coded into how our AI works. And we never automate against websites that prohibit it. Your reputation and your accounts stay safe.
