Guides & help

Practical walkthroughs for getting the most out of Remo — from sharpening your match results to breezing through applications with the browser extension.

Getting started

Remo scans job boards and company career pages, scores every role against your preferences, and helps you tailor and track each application. Three things get you up and running:

  1. Add your CV and profile. Paste your master résumé under Settings → Resume / CV and fill in your details under Personal info. Everything Remo tailors is built from your real experience.
  2. Set your job preferences. Add your target roles, skills, work mode, and salary under Job preferences so scoring reflects what you actually want.
  3. Review your board. Remo keeps a fresh, ranked list of matching roles on your Jobs page. Tailor a résumé and move roles across your Applications board as you go.
Unlock the AI features by connecting a provider key under Settings → Integrations, or pick a Managed plan and Remo runs the AI for you.

Getting better search results

Your match scores are only as good as what Remo knows about you. A few habits sharpen the ranking dramatically:

  • Be specific in your preferences. Concrete target roles and a real skills list beat vague ones — they're what each posting is scored against.
  • Set work mode and salary. These filter and weight results, so roles that don't fit your basics sink down the list.
  • Use deal-breakers. Add terms that should rule a role out (e.g. a stack you won't touch); they're matched as whole words so they don't over-trigger.
  • Tune the weights. Under Settings → Advanced search you can lead with a preset — Balanced, Skills-first, Comp-first, or Stability — or set the weights by hand. Remo re-scores your board when you save.
  • Add roles Remo didn't scan. Paste any posting link under Jobs → Add by URL and it's read onto your board and scored like the rest.
On Advanced and up, an AI re-rank refines the rule-based scores with a deeper read of each posting — useful when many roles score similarly.

Tailoring your résumé

From Resumes (or any role on your Applications board) you can tailor a résumé to a specific posting two ways:

  • Keyword tailoring (free). Reorders your bullets so the most job-relevant lead, and shows an ATS gap report — which of the posting's keywords your résumé already hits and which it's missing.
  • AI tailoring. Rewrites your résumé in the posting's language, grounded in your real experience — never inventing anything. Needs a provider key or a Managed plan.

Open any résumé in the full editor to work the gaps in: missing keywords show in grey and turn green the moment they appear in your résumé, and the AI Tailor button revises toward the role (and works in keywords your experience supports, explaining anything it can't). Download as PDF, Word, or Markdown; custom templates are available on Basic and up.

Tailoring never fabricates. It reorganizes and rephrases what's genuinely yours — add only the missing keywords you can truthfully claim.

Using the browser extension

The Remo extension fills out job applications for you — standard fields from your profile, and screener questions from your Knowledge Base — so manual applications take a fraction of the time.

  1. Install the Remo extension in your browser.
  2. Connect it to your account from the Connect extension page — a one-time handshake.
  3. Open a job application, click the Remo extension, and choose Fill. Remo completes what it can and highlights every field it touched.
  4. Review and submit. Check the highlighted fields, finish anything Remo left for you, and submit — Remo never submits on your behalf.
AI-drafted answers are an Advanced feature (with a 7-day free trial); filling standard contact fields works on any plan. Questions Remo can't answer are saved to your Knowledge Base so you answer them once and reuse them everywhere.

Email a job to your board

Found a role in your inbox or on your phone? Send it to Remo and it lands on your board to review — even roles Remo didn't scan.

  1. Find your Remo address. It's shown under Settings → Email to board.
  2. Forward or send a job link to that address from one of your confirmed email addresses. Remo matches you by sender — there's no personal inbox to set up.
  3. Approve it. The link lands in Jobs → Queue; approve it and Remo reads the posting onto your board.
Email-to-board is on Basic and up. Forward from a work inbox or a second address by adding and verifying it under Settings → Email to board.

Your Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base is your personal library of answers to the questions applications keep asking — "Why this company?", years of experience, work authorization, and so on. Answer once, reuse everywhere.

  • Entries carry a status — Answered, Needs review, or Draft — so you can see what still needs your input.
  • When the extension hits a question it can't confidently answer, it saves it here for you to review; once answered, future applications fill it automatically.
Keep answers concise and reusable. Remo matches questions by meaning, not exact wording, so one good answer covers many phrasings.

The Applications board

Your Applications board is a simple kanban that tracks every role you're pursuing: Draft → Ready → Applied → Interview → Offer → Rejected.

  • Drag a card between columns as a role progresses.
  • Open a card to add notes, tailor a résumé for that role, auto-fill the application, or open the interview-prep brief.
Tailoring a résumé moves a role to Ready automatically, so your board reflects where each application really stands.

Remo charges for AI, never for formatting — the résumé editor is free for everyone. Choose how the AI runs: bring your own provider key (BYOK), or let Remo manage it with an allowance included in the price.
