What the check tells you
What you get at the end is a page, not a number. It answers three questions in order: how well do you fit, what exactly is behind that, and which part of it can still be fixed today?
A percentage, plus a verdict in two sentences
At the top there is a percentage and, right below it, a verdict in exactly two sentences: what carries your application and what it is missing. No cheering, no warning colours - both get named.
All 11 criteria, each one argued separately
Your fit breaks down into 11 fixed criteria. Each gets its own value, two or three sentences of reasoning and short pieces of evidence from your profile - what speaks for you, and what is missing.
Quick fixes with effort and points
Every gap you can still close before sending is listed as its own item, with the estimated effort in minutes and the points it adds to your fit. Tick one off and the number at the top moves with it.
Whatever belongs in your Master Profile, Jobvin writes for you on request. You see the before and after first, and you can undo it for 24 hours.
A salary benchmark from official data
The check puts the pay in context against the Entgeltatlas of the German Federal Employment Agency, resolved by the occupation and the region of the role. Where there is no record, the benchmark stays empty instead of being guessed.
Is the posting real?
A section of its own looks at whether there is a real, open role behind the posting: how specific the description is, whether the requirements contradict each other, what the pay and the age of the posting suggest. The outcome is a verdict on three levels plus the signals behind it.
Written as observations, never as accusations. Every signal has harmless explanations too - the call is yours.
The questions this interview will bring
At the end you get the questions that follow from the posting and your resume. Each with one line on why it comes up here in particular, and what your answer has to deliver.
Seven detail blocks to read through
Below the summary sits the long report: role profile, match against your resume, seniority strategy, compensation, resume changes, interview prep and legitimacy.
Example view
- Suitability & career level
- Responsibilities & competencies
- Domain knowledge & tools
- Industry experience
The order is fixed and does not come from the model. That way you can put two results side by side and compare the same line.
What the check cannot do
Your fit is an assessment, not a measurement. It is based on what the posting says and on what your profile says - not on the other applications that came in. The check does not know who gets invited, and it does not claim to.
These are the 11 criteria the job check looks at
- Suitability & career level
- Responsibilities & competencies
- Domain knowledge & tools
- Industry experience
- Leadership experience
- Availability
- Education & degrees
- Languages
- Location & mobility
- Salary expectation
- Presence & proof
How to spot a posting that is not genuine
Not every posting is looking for a person. Some harvest data, some are bait for a scam, some are leftovers from last year. The job check watches out for this too - but the patterns are worth knowing yourself, because they barely change.
Too good for what it asks
Above-average pay for minimal requirements, "no experience needed", "start from home today". The job market gives nothing away.
Vague beyond recognition
No concrete tasks, no team, no location, only buzzwords. Real roles have real details - and how specific a description is happens to be the first signal the check looks at.
Contact through a free email address
The reply address sits with a free email provider instead of the company domain, or on a domain that differs from the real one by a single letter. Add pressure: "today only", "confirm right away".
No digital footprint
The company has no website, no legal notice, no company register entry. Or a website that is two weeks old.
The process runs backwards
An offer without an interview, a contract over a messenger app, "onboarding" before anyone has spoken to you.
ID before contract
A copy of your ID, your tax number, bank details or a selfie verification before any interview has taken place. You never hand that over, in any process.

Is the same role listed on the company career page? That is the strongest proof of authenticity you can get for free, and it takes two minutes.
What "a 60 % match" actually means
The percentage is not a school grade and not a probability. It says how much of what this posting asks for can be evidenced from your profile today.
What matters is which criteria are missing
Two applications with the same number can look completely different. One is missing a keyword in the summary, the other is missing the leadership experience the posting names twice. That is why every criterion is listed on its own: the number alone answers nothing, the breakdown below it does.
The value is a starting point, not a verdict
Right under your fit sit the quick fixes, each with its points. Tick them off and the page works out the value that is realistic once you have made the changes. You do not have to invent anything for that: a suggestion may only contain what is already in your resume.
And you still get a recommendation in plain words
It ends on one of four levels: apply now, apply, only with a good reason, do not apply. The bottom one is deliberate. A hopeless application costs you half an evening, and that half evening is better spent on a role where it pays off.
- Apply now
- Apply
- Only with a good reason
- Don’t apply
The percentage deliberately appears only in the result page. In the Application Tracker and on the dashboard it stays a one-to-five rating. A number that means two different things in two places is not a good number.
From the check to a finished application
The result is not an endpoint. Everything the check found is already attached to this application - you never enter it a second time.
Move the fixes into your profile
Whatever belongs in your Master Profile, Jobvin writes with one click. The before and after is shown first, and undo stays open for 24 hours.
Tailor the resume to the role
The same result feeds a tailored version of your resume. Those changes stay inside this application and never touch your Master Profile.
Have the cover letter written
The cover letter already knows the posting and your evidence. You pick the tone: factual, motivated or direct.
Keep the application in the Application Tracker
From the check onwards the role sits in your Application Tracker, with date, status and a reminder to follow up. Sending happens from your own inbox, never from a Jobvin address.
