Start with your next role
Set up JobMaster as you go through your next entry-level application.
1. Install the extension
Add JobMaster to Chrome first so job capture and ATS autofill are available where you apply.
2. Connect your account
Sign in so your saved jobs, encrypted autofill profile, and dashboard use the same JobMaster account.
3. Set up your autofill profile
Add your contact details, links, work history, education, and resume information before using autofill.
Open Autofill Profile4. Save a role from LinkedIn
Capture the job before you apply so the company, title, and notes follow the application into your dashboard.
5. Check your application site
Check Supported ATS if the application opens on an unfamiliar site, or contact us if you need help.
Check Supported ATSHow Private Mode works
This is the short version of the architecture: the key starts on your device, supported vault records are encrypted before upload, and the recovery code is the fallback way to unlock the same private vault on another browser later.
1. Key generated locally
When Private Mode is enabled, JobMaster creates a random account encryption key in your browser instead of asking the server to generate it.
2. Data encrypted before upload
Supported private records are encrypted on-device before they are sent to JobMaster storage, where they remain encrypted at rest.
3. Recovery code wraps the key
Your recovery code is used to wrap the account key so a new browser can unlock the same vault later without JobMaster storing the raw key.
4. New browsers unlock once
If you switch browsers, devices, clear browser storage, or reinstall the extension, you usually enter the recovery code once so that browser can store its own local key copy.
Important distinction: Private Mode means encrypted storage and local key custody. It does not mean every request is processed only on-device. Some AI and parsing features still use decrypted text transiently during the live request, even though the saved vault data remains encrypted at rest.
Common support questions
Answers to the setup, sync, and privacy questions you may have during your first job search.
Should I install the extension before I create an account?
Yes. Add the Chrome extension, save an entry-level role, then sign in when you want your saved jobs and dashboard to sync.
Which ATS platforms does JobMaster support?
JobMaster supports 10+ ATS workflows today, including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, SmartRecruiters, Jobvite, Rippling, Zoho Recruit, and Paycom.
Do I need LinkedIn sign-in to use the dashboard?
No. Use LinkedIn sign-in for extension sync. Google sign-in opens the dashboard if you only need to organize your search there.
Where can I check whether an application site is supported?
Check Supported ATS for the current platform list and guides to Workday, Greenhouse, and other application sites.
Can I upload documents or URLs for the AI Assistant?
Yes. Upload Docs accepts files like PDF, Word, Excel, and text, and it can also fetch content from URLs so that material becomes part of the AI Assistant's searchable context.
Can JobMaster store quick links or reusable snippets?
Yes. Quick Notes works as a lightweight quick-links and notes system where you can group URLs or text by category, copy entries quickly, and export them later.
How does Private Mode encryption work?
Private Mode generates a random account encryption key in your browser, stores that key locally on the device, and uploads only ciphertext plus a recovery-wrapped version of the key to JobMaster. Supported vault data stays encrypted at rest until this browser unlocks it.
Do I need the recovery code on a new browser or device?
Usually yes. A new browser, device, cleared browser storage, or reinstalled extension will not have the local key yet. Enter the recovery code once to unlock Private Mode there, then that browser can store its own local copy of the account key.
