How Rocketlist works

Transparent by design

If a startup is hiring on the tools startups use to hire, it is on Rocketlist. We track 101,515 live roles from 4,948 funded companies across 11 applicant-tracking systems, read every description with AI for skills and seniority, and score each one against your profile. Free for candidates.

Sourcing

Where the jobs come from

We aggregate roles posted publicly across the web. Nothing here requires a login, and we are not the employer. In practice that means every company hiring on the applicant-tracking systems that startups actually use: if a startup posts a job on one of these, we have it.

Plus public investor portfolios, for example

These investors do not endorse Rocketlist. We only read their public portfolio pages.

Every listing links back to the original posting. Companies or sources can request removal by emailing [email protected].

Your data

Where your profile comes from

Your match profile is built only from what you choose to share. Pick whichever you prefer. All three produce the same structured profile used for matching, and you can review and edit it afterward.

Connect LinkedIn

Enter your details yourself

We import a LinkedIn profile only when you are signed in and you provide it yourself. We do not crawl LinkedIn or collect profiles on our own. You can review, edit, or delete the imported information at any time.

Enrichment

How we read each job

  • Every job description is read once by an AI model.
  • It outputs structured fields: required skills, nice-to-have skills, seniority, salary range (if stated), domain, role type.
  • Values map to a fixed taxonomy, so spelling never costs you a match:

This happens once per job. We do not re-read jobs on every search.

Matching

How we score matches

  • We compare your profile (skills, experience, domains, preferences) to every active job.
  • Deterministic matching, no black-box vector cosine. You see exactly which skills matched, which were missing, and which were nice-to-have.
  • Every job is scored 0 to 100. The "For You" feed shows score 70 and above.
  • Scores are informational. No automated decision determines your eligibility for any role.

How matching works

Up to 10 dimensions scored for every job, personalized to your profile.
