Common questions

Everything you need to know about how Jude.works operates.

How does AI matching work?

Jude analyses your CV to extract skills, experience, and qualifications. It then compares these against every verified listing, scoring each role based on how well your full profile matches — not just keyword overlap.

Where do the job listings come from?

Jobs are sourced from official UK government feeds (including DWP and GOV.UK), trusted job networks, and direct employer postings. Every listing is filtered for quality before it reaches you.

What is a match score?

Your match score is a percentage that shows how well your skills and experience align with a specific role. Higher scores mean a stronger fit. Jude also shows you what's needed to improve your score.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Jude.works is UK-built, UK-hosted, and fully GDPR compliant. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. You control what employers see, and you can request full data deletion at any time.

Do I need to pay anything as a job seeker?

No. Jude.works is completely free for job seekers — no hidden charges, no premium tiers required for searching or applying. Our revenue comes from employers, not candidates.

How do employers post jobs?

Employers create an account, submit a listing with salary, requirements, and location, and it goes live after a quality review. Pricing starts at £79 per listing, with discounts for NHS and public sector organisations.
