How Jude.works works

Jude.works reads your CV using AI to extract your skills, experience level, and career history. It then scores every live UK job against your profile and returns your top matches — each with a personalised explanation of why it fits and what's missing.

Unlike keyword search, Jude understands meaning — so "biddable media" matches "paid search" even without exact wording.

Yes — permanently and completely free. Job seekers never pay anything to use Jude.works. CV upload, AI matching, skill path analysis, career pivot tools, cover letter drafting, and interview prep are all included at no cost. Jude.works is funded by employers, not candidates.

Traditional job boards show you a list. Jude.works scores every role against your specific CV and explains why it fits — including salary alignment, seniority match, and skill gaps. It also rates each job listing's transparency out of 10, so you can avoid vague or misleading job ads.

Every match includes a paragraph of honest reasoning — not just a percentage score.

Jude.works scores candidates on skills and experience, not on how they write a CV or whether they know the right buzzwords. The AI evaluates what you have done, not how you describe it — reducing the advantage that comes from expensive CV coaching or insider knowledge of how recruitment works.

Employers using Jude also get flagged when their job descriptions contain potentially biased language before they post.

Under two minutes. Upload your CV, and Jude.works extracts your skills, scores your profile, and returns 10 matched live UK roles — each with a personalised explanation. No account setup, no questionnaire, no waiting for a recruiter to call back.

Jude scores your CV out of 100 based on completeness, clarity, and evidence of impact. It checks for quantified results, skill depth, career progression, and common gaps like missing salary expectations or truncated work history. You get a grade and specific quick wins to push your score higher.

The average CV on Jude.works scores 64/100. Adding specific metrics to each role — ROAS achieved, revenue driven, budget managed — is the single highest-impact improvement most people can make.

Every job listing on Jude.works is rated out of 10 for transparency — based on whether the employer has disclosed salary, work type, contract length, team size, reporting line, and interview process. A score of 8 or above means the employer has been open and honest. Below 5 means key details are missing.

Low transparency scores are a reliable signal of a poorly written job ad — or an employer who does not want to attract the wrong applicants for the wrong reasons.

Skill Path analyses your CV against your target role and shows you exactly which skills are missing — ranked by how often they appear in job descriptions for that role. It then recommends funded UK courses, apprenticeships, and qualifications to close each gap, with links to apply.

All course recommendations are free or government-funded where possible. Skill Path updates automatically when you change your target role.

Yes — Career Pivot is built specifically for this. It analyses your existing skills and identifies roles in adjacent industries where your background transfers well, including roles that are resistant to AI automation. It shows transferable skills, realistic salary expectations, and the fastest qualification route into each new field.

Career Pivot also flags roles where your seniority level transfers directly — so you do not have to start from the bottom when changing direction.

Yes — Jude.works is currently focused exclusively on the UK job market. All roles are sourced from UK employers and job boards including Reed, Adzuna, and the Government Teaching Vacancies service. International expansion is planned but not yet available.
