How go2land works
What does go2land actually do?
go2land does the finding for you. You add your résumé and set up a "search" (a role + skills, e.g. Data Engineer). Every day we scan 135+ companies' own career systems, find the roles that match you, tailor your résumé to each, and put them on your Check page. You review them and we take you straight to the employer's application — for Greenhouse-based jobs we can also pre-fill the form for you. It's a hands-off job SEARCH; the applying still involves you.
What is a "Search"?
A search is one saved job hunt: a target role + your skills + which locations + which résumé to use. You can run several at once (for example Data Engineer AND AI Engineer), and each keeps its own list of daily matches on the Check page.
Where do the jobs come from?
Directly from employers' own applicant-tracking systems (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, SuccessFactors). We read their public job listings every day — see the full list on the Companies page. No scraping of aggregators like Indeed.
How do I actually apply?
On the Check page every match has an Apply button, and what it does depends on the employer's system. For jobs hosted on Greenhouse, go2land can pre-fill the application form for you with your tailored résumé and your saved answers, then stop and wait — nothing is ever sent until you click Approve on the Apply page. For every other system (Workday, SuccessFactors and the rest — that's most jobs) we take you straight to the employer's own application page and you fill it in there; we just keep track that you applied.
Does go2land apply to jobs for me?
Not on its own, and never without you. Two things are true: (1) we can pre-fill the form only for Greenhouse-based jobs, and even then a human — you — has to press Approve before anything is submitted; (2) for all other employers we hand you a direct link to their application page and you complete it yourself. We would rather say this plainly than have you assume applications are going out that aren't.
What are Check, Apply, and Answers?
Check = your matched jobs, in four folders that follow what YOU decided about each one: New, Saved (working on it), Applied, and Not interested. Apply = the Greenhouse applications we pre-filled, waiting for your approval. Answers = the reusable answers to application questions (e.g. "why do you want to work here?") that fill themselves in on future applications.
Getting Started
What is go2land?
go2land is an automated job-search assistant: it finds roles that fit you across 135+ companies every day, tailors your résumé to each, and then helps you apply — sending you straight to the employer's application page, or pre-filling it for you on Greenhouse-based jobs (you still approve before anything is submitted). It also includes a manual tool to compare your résumé to a single job you paste in.
Is go2land free to use?
Yes, go2land is currently free to use. Create an account and start analyzing job matches right away. No credit card required.
Do I need to create an account?
Yes, you need to create a free account to use go2land. This allows us to save your analyses, track your applications, and provide a personalized experience.
Resume Upload
What file formats are supported?
We support DOCX (Microsoft Word), PDF, and plain text. You can either upload a file or paste your resume content directly into the text field.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, uploaded files should be under 5MB. Most resumes are well under this limit. If your file is too large, try removing embedded images or converting to a different format.
Can I use multiple resumes?
Yes, you can upload different resumes for different job analyses. Each analysis is independent, so you can tailor your approach for different roles.
Match Score & Analysis
How accurate is the match score?
The match score is based on AI analysis of skills, experience, keywords, and job requirements. It provides a realistic estimate of how well your background fits the role. However, hiring decisions involve many factors beyond what can be measured algorithmically, so use the score as guidance rather than a guarantee.
What does the match score mean?
70%+ indicates a strong match - you have most required skills. 50-69% is a moderate match - review the gaps and consider addressing them. Below 50% suggests significant gaps, but you may still apply if you can demonstrate transferable skills or willingness to learn.
How are skill gaps identified?
We compare the skills, technologies, and qualifications mentioned in the job description against your resume. Gaps are skills the employer wants that aren't clearly demonstrated in your resume.
What are partial matches?
Partial matches are skills where you have related experience but not an exact match. For example, if a job requires React and you have Vue.js experience, that's a partial match since both are frontend JavaScript frameworks.
Interview Questions
How are interview questions predicted?
We analyze the job requirements and your resume to predict likely questions. Core questions test your main skills, gap-based questions probe areas where your experience is limited, and behavioral questions relate to the role's responsibilities.
Should I prepare for all suggested questions?
Focus especially on gap-based questions (highlighted in yellow) as interviewers often probe areas where your resume shows less experience. Core skill questions are also important as they verify your main qualifications.
Tailored Resume
What's the difference between resume templates?
Experience-focused: Chronological format highlighting work history, best for candidates with strong relevant experience. Skills-focused: Leads with technical skills, good for career changers or those with diverse backgrounds. Compact ATS: Minimal formatting optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems, best for online applications.
What is ATS and why does it matter?
ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by companies to filter resumes before human review. ATS-friendly resumes use clean formatting, standard section headings, and relevant keywords to pass automated screening.
Can I edit the downloaded resume?
Yes, the DOCX format can be opened and edited in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any compatible word processor. We recommend reviewing and personalizing the resume before submitting.
Application Tracking
How does application tracking work?
Each time you analyze a job, it's saved to your applications list with the company name, job title, URL, and analysis date. You can update the status (Applied, Interview, Offer, Rejected) to track your progress.
Can I add jobs I applied to elsewhere?
Currently, the tracker only includes jobs you've analyzed through go2land. We're considering adding manual entry in future updates.
Privacy & Security
Is my resume data secure?
Yes, your data is stored securely and only accessible to you. We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and follow security best practices. We do not share your information with third parties.
Can I delete my data?
Yes, you can request deletion of your account and all associated data. Contact us through the feedback form to request account deletion.
Do you use my resume to train AI?
No, we do not use your personal resume data to train our AI models. Your data is only used to provide you with analysis results.
Technical
Can I use go2land for non-tech jobs?
While we're optimized for tech and IT roles (software engineering, DevOps, data science, product management, etc.), the analysis works for any job where skills and experience are important factors.
What browsers are supported?
go2land works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using the latest version for the best experience.
Is there a mobile app?
Not currently, but go2land is fully responsive and works well on mobile browsers. You can add it to your home screen for quick access.
