About Pingjobs
Ping starts from a brief that you write, describing the kind of work you want and what a role has to provide. It checks employer postings against that brief and shows why a role may fit, listing which hard requirements the posting supports, such as remote eligibility in a given country or published pay above your minimum, and it shows the original posting for you to read. Matches can be reviewed and used to tailor your resume.
The approach treats missing evidence carefully. A posting that leaves out a required fact, such as pay, can appear under worth considering if you allow uncertain results, but it cannot trigger an immediate email alert. Email alerts are optional and require your consent, and the Pro plan adds ongoing scouting.
Related tools include an MCP server so you can read Ping results from your AI tools, a CV builder with nine templates that downloads as a PDF, an employment glossary that explains the language of job postings, and help pages covering account, billing and service information.
