For seekers

Getting started as a seeker

Sign up, complete your profile, and join your first live interview on Jobby.dev — typically under five minutes.

Last updated

You can go from zero to interviewing on Jobby.dev in under five minutes. The full path:

1. Sign up

Head to jobby.dev/signup. We use passwordless magic-link auth — drop in your email, click the link we send you, and you're in. No password to remember, no social-login dance.

2. Build your profile

The matchmaker runs against three things you control:

  • Headline. One line — the title you want to be interviewing for. e.g. "Senior backend engineer (Go, Rust, distributed systems)".
  • Skills. Tags. Hit the top three to five — over- tagging dilutes match quality.
  • Compensation expectations. A range, not a number. Recruiters whose role is way off your range never match — saves both sides time.

Optionally upload a resume. We extract structured fields with jobbydev_resume_parseand surface them to the recruiter during the interview itself, not before — it's context for the conversation, not a filter.

3. Find a live event

The home feed at jobby.dev shows every currently-live session. Filter by the skills you tagged. A companion live-event detail page surfaces every role attached to that session, so you can sanity-check before joining.

Driving Jobby.dev from Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor instead? Use jobbydev_live_now — same data, conversational surface. See the MCP overview for setup.

4. Join the queue

One tap. We confirm mic + camera permissions before the queue actually starts (better to surface a permission failure now than when the room opens). You'll see your position in line and a rough wait estimate.

5. Accept the match

When the matchmaker pairs you with a recruiter, both of you get a notification. Both sides need to accept. If you decline, the slot returns to the queue. If you accept, the live video room opens within a couple of seconds.

What it costs

For seekers, Jobby.dev is free. Recruiters pay for live event hours; seeker access never has been and never will be metered. See the pricing page for full plan details.
