How Emplo uses AI
This page explains, in plain language, how Emplo uses artificial intelligence and automation to help with your job search, and where you stay in control.
It is informational only. Your legal rights and obligations are defined in the Emplo Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Emplo does not provide legal, immigration, tax or financial advice.
1. What Emplo is
Emplo is an AI assistant for job-seekers. It is a candidate-side software service that helps you:
- Read and structure your CV and preferences
- Discover relevant roles on European job boards and employer sites
- Filter and prioritise opportunities
- Draft tailored CVs, messages and form answers
- Organise and track your job search in one place
Employers and job platforms are separate from Emplo. They keep full control over whether they read your application, whether they invite you to interview, and whether they make you an offer.
Emplo:
- Is not an employer, recruitment agency or temp agency
- Is not used by employers to rank or select candidates
- Does not guarantee interviews, offers or salaries
2. Where Emplo uses AI
Emplo uses AI in several parts of the service. Below is what each component does, what data it uses, and what you see.
2.1 CV parsing and profile understanding
What happens
- When you upload your CV, Emplo analyses it to extract a structured profile:
- Work experience and job titles
- Education and degrees
- Skills, tools, technologies and languages
- Locations and industries
- When you answer onboarding questions, Emplo uses them to refine:
- Target roles and seniority
- Preferred locations and remote/onsite preferences
- Salary expectations and contract types (CDI, CDD, internship, etc.)
What AI is doing
- Language models identify and normalise entities (skills, titles, company names)
- The system creates internal representations (embeddings/tags) used later for matching and drafting
What you see
- A structured profile you can review and update (roles, locations, salary range, etc.)
- Emplo never sends this raw profile to employers; it is used internally to power matching and drafting.
2.2 Job discovery and matching
What happens
- Emplo searches connected job boards and employer sites for openings that might fit your profile.
- For each job posting, Emplo:
- Reads the title, description and metadata
- Compares it to your skills, experience and preferences
- Computes a relevance / match score
What AI is doing
- Semantic matching between job descriptions and your profile (so it can recognise e.g. that “backend engineer” and “software developer (Python)” are related)
- Rule-based filters to enforce hard constraints such as:
- Location (city/region/country, remote/onsite)
- Contract type (internship, fixed-term, permanent)
- Basic seniority and salary bands where available
What you see
- A list of roles ranked by relevance, often with:
- Short AI-generated summaries
- Signals like “strong fit” / “possible fit” / “stretch” where appropriate
All of these are suggestions; you decide what to open, save or ignore.
2.3 Application drafting (CV variants, letters, forms)
What happens
For a given job, Emplo can draft:
- A version of your CV emphasising the most relevant experience and skills for that role
- A cover letter or introduction message tailored to the job
- Suggested answers to common application questions (availability date, work authorisation, languages, etc.)
What AI is doing
- Rewriting and re-ordering content to emphasise the most relevant parts of your experience for a specific job
- Generating polite, professional text based on your profile and the job description
What you see
- Draft CVs, letters and answers in your Emplo interface
- You can edit or delete anything before using it
- Emplo is designed not to invent employers, degrees or certifications you did not provide; these factual items come from your own data.
You remain responsible for the truth and appropriateness of everything you send.
2.4 Summarisation and prioritisation
What happens
- For long job descriptions, Emplo generates short summaries that highlight:
- Core responsibilities
- Key requirements and technologies
- Location and work arrangement
- Salary info if present
- Based on your profile, it may label roles as “strong fit”, “stretch”, or “low fit”.
What AI is doing
- Summarising long texts into a few relevant lines
- Comparing requirements with your profile to decide how prominently to show a job
What you see
- Short, readable summaries in your job list
- Fit labels that help you decide where to focus first
These are advisory only; Emplo does not hide roles you might still want to consider.
2.5 Automation and Auto-Apply (optional)
Emplo is built around three levels of autonomy. The first two are available by default; the third is an optional automation feature.
Level 1 – Assist
- Emplo discovers roles and drafts materials
- You manually choose when and where to apply
- Emplo never sends anything without a click from you
Level 2 – Prepare & approve
- Emplo continuously prepares full “application packets”:
- Tailored CV
- Letter/message
- Suggested form answers
- You review and approve or reject each packet
- Emplo may pre-fill forms where technically possible, but you still click “submit”
Level 3 – Auto-Apply (when enabled)
Auto-Apply is a planned/optional feature, and will be off by default.
If and when you enable it, and after you configure your rules:
- Emplo automatically:
- Identifies jobs that match your filters (roles, locations, salary floor, contract type, platforms)
- Drafts application materials based on your current profile and templates
- Submits applications for those jobs using your connected accounts, within daily/weekly caps
What you control:
- Which platforms are allowed for Auto-Apply
- Which job criteria qualify (role keywords, locations, contract types, salary thresholds)
- Maximum number of applications per day and per week
- When to pause or disable Auto-Apply
What you see:
- A dashboard of applications sent (manual and automatic)
- For each auto-application: job, employer/platform, date/time, and which CV/message was used (where technically possible)
Auto-Apply is always optional and can be turned off at any time. When it is off, Emplo never sends applications on its own.
2.6 Analytics and product improvement
What happens
Emplo collects aggregate information about how features are used:
- Which features are used most
- Error rates and technical failures
- High-level patterns of accepted/ignored suggestions
What AI is doing
- Using pseudonymised/aggregated data to:
- Improve matching thresholds
- Improve default templates and prompts
- Identify where users struggle in the flow
What you see
- Improvements over time in relevance and usability
- No advertising or resale of your data
Details about analytics and retention are in the Privacy Policy.
3. Your control and levels of autonomy
3.1 What you always control
You always control:
- Your profile and CV content
- Your target roles, locations, salary expectations and other preferences
- Which jobs you open, save or apply to (unless you explicitly enable Auto-Apply)
- Which platforms and accounts you connect
- When to disconnect accounts
- When to pause or disable any form of automation
You can change your preferences at any time; future suggestions and drafts adapt to those changes.
3.2 What Emplo can do without a click from you
- In Assist and Prepare & approve modes:
- Emplo never submits applications on its own.
- It only prepares drafts and pre-filled forms for you to review.
- In Auto-Apply mode (if you enable it):
- Emplo may submit applications that meet your rules and its internal quality thresholds without a per-job click.
- You can see what was sent and adjust or stop at any time.
4. Data Emplo uses (and avoids)
4.1 Data Emplo uses
To operate, Emplo uses:
- Your profile and documents
- CV and supporting files
- Work history, education, skills, languages
- Links you choose to provide (e.g. LinkedIn, GitHub)
- Your preferences
- Desired roles and industries
- Locations and remote/on-site preferences
- Salary expectations and contract types
- Availability dates, notice periods
- Your job search activity
- Jobs viewed, saved or rejected
- Drafts created
- Applications submitted via Emplo
- Status updates where visible (e.g. “sent”, “interview”, “offer”)
- Connected account metadata
- Job-board / career portal connections
- Email integration settings and technical tokens where necessary
- Technical and security data
- Login and session information
- Logs of key actions (for example, when an application is sent)
Details (including retention periods) are in the Emplo-specific Privacy Notice.
4.2 Data Emplo tries to avoid for matching
To reduce the risk of discrimination, Emplo’s matching and ranking logic is not designed to rely on:
- Racial or ethnic origin
- Political opinions
- Religious or philosophical beliefs
- Trade-union membership
- Health data
- Sexual orientation
Emplo focuses on:
- Skills and experience
- Job titles and responsibilities
- Education and fields of study
- Location and work-mode constraints
- Contract type and salary bands where relevant
If your CV includes sensitive details (for example, date of birth, photo, volunteer activities that reveal beliefs), Emplo does not intentionally use those as positive or negative signals in its matching logic.
5. Quality, limits and your responsibilities
5.1 What Emplo aims to do well
- Provide relevant job suggestions based on your profile and filters
- Draft coherent, professional CVs and messages tailored to each role
- Respect your hard constraints (location, contract type, salary floor)
- Avoid clearly irrelevant or abusive application patterns
5.2 Inherent limitations
AI systems are not perfect. Emplo can sometimes:
- Misinterpret part of a CV or job description
- Miss a role you would consider interesting
- Over- or under-emphasise parts of your experience
- Use phrases you would not naturally use
- Produce drafts that need significant editing for a specific culture or industry
Emplo does not:
- Verify that every statement it drafts is 100% correct for your situation
- Know your entire context outside what you provide
5.3 Guardrails Emplo applies
- Uses your own factual data (employers, dates, degrees) as the source of truth
- Has internal match thresholds to avoid auto-applying to obviously “wrong” jobs
- Avoids inventing employers or degrees that do not exist in your data
- May flag certain situations for manual review rather than automating them
5.4 Your responsibilities
You remain responsible for:
- Checking that your CV and profile are accurate and up to date
- Reviewing and correcting drafted CVs and messages before you rely on them
- Making sure all information you send to employers is truthful and not misleading
- Ensuring your use of Emplo complies with:
- Job-board and platform terms
- Email provider rules
- Employment, immigration and other applicable laws in your situation
In particular, you should not ask Emplo to fabricate experience, degrees or certifications you do not have.
6. Platforms, employers and anti-spam
6.1 Relationship with platforms and employers
Emplo interacts with independent third-party services:
- Job boards and career portals
- Employer websites
- Email providers
Each has its own terms, policies and technical limits.
Emplo:
- Tries to use official or documented paths (APIs, allowed automation flows) where possible
- Does not attempt to bypass CAPTCHAs or explicit anti-bot protections
- May restrict or disable automation on platforms where rules or technical controls make it inappropriate
6.2 Anti-spam and volume limits
To protect your reputation and platforms:
- Emplo applies internal caps on:
- Applications per day
- Applications per week
- Applications per platform
- Emplo may lower or enforce stricter limits if:
- It detects patterns that look like spam
- Platforms or employers report abusive behaviour
- Emplo may:
- Switch a platform into “draft-only” (you click send)
- Temporarily pause automation
- Disable Auto-Apply for an account that repeatedly breaches acceptable use
These behaviours are described in more detail in the Acceptable Use Policy.
