Set your job preferences

Before you start

Sign in, then note that job preferences live on the Job Matches page, alongside Career Agent setup — they're two separate panels on that one page, not two destinations. Preferences narrow which roles show up when you fetch matches manually and which ones Career Agent considers during its overnight search; Career Agent setup is what turns that automatic search on. Job Matches requires QuickCV Pro — Free accounts see an upgrade prompt in place of both panels. Compare Free and Pro if you're not sure yet.

Set your targets

1. Open Job Matches from the dashboard, then select Preferences in the header, next to Career Intent.
2. Choose a Work Type — Any, Remote, Hybrid, or On-site.
3. Choose a Seniority level and a Job Type if they apply — both default to Any.
4. Set a Min Salary and Max Salary, and add target Locations by typing one and pressing Enter.
5. Select Apply Preferences.

Every field is optional. Use realistic ranges and locations you would actually accept — preferences narrow which results QuickCV surfaces, but they don't guarantee every match satisfies every field.

Expected result

QuickCV confirms with a "Preferences saved" toast. If a salary range is invalid — for example, a minimum above the maximum — saving fails with a generic "Failed to save preferences" message rather than pointing at the specific field, so check your Min Salary and Max Salary values first if that happens.

Saved preferences apply the next time you fetch matches — see Find and manage job matches for what happens next — or the next time Career Agent runs its overnight search. They don't change jobs you've already saved or application kits already in progress. Update preferences whenever your search changes.
