The Basics
What is Joblim?
Joblim is a free job search tool for olim (new immigrants) in Israel. It searches the web and company job boards for vacancies, tries to check whether they are still open, compares them with your CV and lets you keep a private list of the jobs you care about. It also has a CV tailoring and cover letter tool, follow-up reminders with message drafts, a contract checker and a take-home salary estimator.
Which sites does it search?
See Where We Search: every company board, VC board and job site Joblim reads, so you don't search the same place twice.
Do I need an account?
No. You can search without signing in. An account (Google or LinkedIn sign-in) is needed to save jobs, upload a CV, get match scores and AI analysis, tailor a CV to a job, look up a company summary, and use the contract checker.
Is it really free?
Yes. Nothing is sold and there are no paid plans. Running the site costs money, so there is an optional donation button (see Donations and Refunds).
Is Joblim a recruitment agency?
No. Joblim does not place candidates, charge fees to candidates or employers, or send applications for you. You apply on the employer's own page.
Searching
Where do the jobs come from?
From a web search service, from public job boards that employers publish through their hiring platforms (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Rippling, Comeet, HiBob, Workday, SmartRecruiters) or on their own careers pages, and from some community job sites. Joblim is not affiliated with LinkedIn, Google or any employer listed.
Are the jobs checked?
Joblim makes an automated check of each result: it opens the page, looks for signs that the job is closed or removed, and compares the page with the job title. A "verified" label means that check found the job and an apply option. It is not a guarantee that the job is still open. Some sites (LinkedIn especially) keep closed jobs listed or block automated checks, so always confirm on the employer's page before spending time on an application.
A link says "Page not found". Why?
The job may have closed, or the employer may serve its jobs only on its own website instead of the hiring platform's page. Try searching for the job title on the company's careers page.
What does the match percentage mean?
It is an estimate of how closely the job text matches your CV, skills and preferences. It is not a prediction that you will be hired. See How AI Is Used.
Why are some jobs hidden?
Jobs below your match threshold are hidden behind the "Show lower matches" button. Results that do not match your search words are behind "Show unrelated jobs". Jobs you hide yourself can be brought back with "Restore hidden jobs".
Your Data
Who can see my jobs and profile?
Only you, through your account. Other users cannot see them. The site operator can technically access the database for maintenance. See the Privacy Policy.
Can the site rewrite my CV for a job? Is that stored?
Yes: the Tailor CV page (in the menu) rewrites a CV you upload for a job you choose, using only what the CV already says. The CV and the rewritten version are not stored; they exist only while you view and download them, so download the file before you leave the page. The CV text is sent to the AI service for this, after your name, contact details (email, phone, links), birth date or age, ID number, address, family status, nationality, religion and gender are removed; your name and contact details are put back into the result. The AI is told to use only what your CV says, but it can still make mistakes, so read every line and remove anything that is not true before you send it to anyone. The job list on that page shows only jobs you have not yet applied to. Items listed under "Check these before you apply" are suggestions to add only if they are true. See How AI Is Used.
What is the Job Board?
The Job Board lists public job postings that Joblim collected. Once a night (03:00 Israel time) it runs a set of general searches, and every search any visitor runs also adds the postings it finds. When you search, saved postings appear at once and the site then looks for new ones. Postings are checked again from time to time and dropped when they look closed or are not seen for about three weeks, but a posting can close at any time, so open the link and check before you apply. Match scores need your profile, so they appear in Search, not on the Job Board. Jobs you have already saved are not shown again on the Job Board. Every listing there has an "AI Analysis" section: signed-in users with a profile can open it for a recommendation, and everyone else is asked to log in.
What does "AI Analysis" tell me?
It acts like a recruiter advising you on one vacancy. It says whether to apply, investigate or skip, gives reasons to apply (each job requirement matched to what your profile shows) and reasons not to or risks (requirements your profile does not show). It is available in My Jobs, in "View Details" on Search results and on the Job Board, when you are signed in and have a profile; opening it sends the job and your saved profile to the AI service, and nothing is stored. It works from your saved profile, not your CV file, so keep the profile complete. It is advice, not a prediction: check the job yourself. See How AI Is Used.
What is "Short summary on the company"?
In My Jobs, the button shows a few lines about the employer and links to its LinkedIn page and home page. It is not written by AI: the company name is sent to the search service, which returns text from the company's own site when it finds it, otherwise from LinkedIn or another page, and the source is shown under the text. It can be wrong or about a different company with a similar name, so check it. A summary is refreshed after two weeks and deleted after 90 days; it is about the company and is not linked to you.
Will a tailored CV pass an ATS?
Nobody can guarantee that, because each employer's system is different. What the Tailor CV tool does: it lists the keywords in the job and shows which of them your CV really contains (and highlights them), removes anything the AI wrote that is not in your original CV (skills, employers, figures, dates), and builds a plain single-column file, as Word and PDF, with standard headings, which ATS systems read best. It copies the font, heading wording and section order of the CV you upload, lists jobs newest first and writes dates as DD/MM/YY (month and year only, or the year alone, when your CV gives no day: nothing is invented). For Hebrew CVs prefer the Word file for applications, because some systems read right-to-left text in a PDF in the wrong order. Keywords your CV does not show are listed but never added: add them yourself only if they are true.
Can it write a cover letter, an application answer or a follow-up message?
Yes. On the Tailor CV page, "Write a Cover Letter" writes a cover letter for a job from the CV you upload, with the same rules as tailoring: it is not stored, it uses only facts from your CV, and you must check it. "Answer the Question" does the same for one question from an application form (such as "What appeals to you about joining us?"): a short answer of 60-100 words about why this company and role, using the same CV, job and consent as the cover letter plus the question you paste. In My Jobs, a job you mark Applied shows the date and, after 7 days without a reply, a reminder with a "Draft follow-up" button. "Draft message" on any job writes a follow-up, nudge, thank-you, reference request or reply to an offer, by email or WhatsApp, in the language you pick. It uses only the job title, company, status, your notes and what you type in the box, not your CV. Joblim never sends anything: the buttons open your own email app or WhatsApp with the text filled in. The reminder appears on the page only; no email or notification is sent.
Is my CV sent to an AI service?
Yes, once, when you upload it: its text, with the top of the CV left out and your name, contact details (email, phone, links), birth date or age, ID number, address, family status, nationality, religion and gender removed where they can be recognised, is sent to the AI service named on the How AI Is Used page to build your profile. The CV file and its text are then discarded and not stored; only the profile built from it is saved. You are asked to agree before uploading.
How do I get a copy of my data?
Two downloads, both for signed-in users. "Download All My Data" on the Profile page gives everything stored for your account in one JSON file: account details, the profile built from your CV, preferences, saved jobs with notes and offered salaries, offers and hidden jobs. "Export CSV" on the My Jobs page gives only your saved jobs, as a spreadsheet you can open in Excel or Google Sheets.
How do I delete my data?
Sign in, open Profile, and use "Delete My CV Profile" to remove only the profile built from your CV, or "Delete My Account" to remove everything. Everything stored for you is removed from the live database at once; backup copies, if any, are deleted within 30 days and are used only to restore the service. To keep a copy first, use "Download All My Data" on the Profile page (everything, as a JSON file) or "Export CSV" on the My Jobs page (saved jobs only, as a spreadsheet).
Tools
Can I rely on the Contract Checker?
No. It compares a contract with common Israeli statutory minimums and flags points to check. It is not legal advice and it can miss problems. Have a lawyer review any contract before you sign.
How accurate is the Salary Estimator?
It is an estimate from published tax and national insurance rules and the numbers you enter. Your payslip can differ. It is not tax advice. The extra tax credit points that new immigrants receive are not added automatically: enter your total credit points, including any new-immigrant points you are entitled to this year.
Which languages are supported?
The menus, forms, buttons, sign-in dialog and search-result table can be switched between 10 languages: English, Hebrew, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Portuguese, Italian and Dutch. The translations have not been reviewed by native speakers, so if a translation is unclear, rely on the English wording. Job listings, messages, salary results, these information pages and the Terms and Privacy Policy are in English only, and the contract report can be shown in English or Hebrew. If a translation of a consent box differs from the English pages, the English pages apply.
