What is Raven?
Raven is an AI-powered job search agent that finds and delivers relevant job opportunities to your inbox. It searches thousands of sites, analyzes new postings against your profile, and provides job matches and resume tailoring suggestions. Each job posting match includes information about why the position was selected for you based on your specific skills, experience level, and preferences.
How is this better than other AI job search tools?
Raven leverages Wellfound's decade-plus experience in recruitment technology to deliver highly accurate job matches and resume optimization suggestions. The platform builds on and is informed by our expertise in developing AI tools for recruiters, focusing specifically on matching algorithms and preference analysis.

How do I start using Raven?
Once granted access, you'll complete a brief onboarding process by uploading your resume and setting job preferences.
In ‘Preferences’, you have fields to fill for job role title, compensation, location, remote work preferences, and a section on ‘What are you interested in?’ This last section can be conversational, expressing what you most desire in your next role. It can cover topics such as company size, work culture, market, growth opportunities, leadership, and anything important to you. This will produce more targeted job matches.
Each job posting sent by Raven will include information about how it aligns with your overall preferences and experience defined by your resume.
