Add your basics, work history, and skills once from your profile page — this is what employers see and what your job-match scores are computed from. Skills are the same picker employers use for job requirements, so your entries line up with how jobs are actually tagged.

This is where the name comes from: you can have 5 applications open at once. Applying means choosing, not blasting a résumé at everything, so every application an employer receives is one you meant to send — which is also why every application requires a short note (at least 40 characters) explaining why you're a fit, instead of a bare click-to-apply.

A card frees up the moment that application is rejected, withdrawn, or (for you) resolved one way or another — an outstanding offer still counts as active until you accept, decline, or withdraw it. Being referred to a job (see below) doesn't use a card at all.

Some jobs attach a short screening form — a handful of questions, or a required upload like a license — which you fill out as part of applying. Separately, your profile can list certifications you hold, each with an optional document attached as proof; there's no approval step for these, since an employer who doesn't buy your claim can simply not move you forward, the same lever they already have on any application.

Every job shows a plain, explainable match score against your profile — which required skills you have, how relevant your work history is — computed fresh every time, never a stored or opaque AI ranking. You can always see exactly which skills matched and which didn't; nothing about the score is hidden from you.

Two ways a referral can happen: someone on the hiring team can vouch for you by email before or after you apply, or you can refer a friend to a job the same way (up to 3 open referrals at a time). Either way it shows up as a visible, labeled referral on the application — never a silent boost to a match score — so everyone can see the connection was real.

Once you apply, an employer has 7 days to respond — move your application to any new status counts, even just “Reviewing.” Your applications list shows a live countdown, and organizations that consistently keep this promise earn a public “Fast responder” badge you can see before you even apply. One that goes quiet past the deadline starts losing visibility on their own job listing — see how that works for employers below.

If an employer schedules an interview, the type (virtual, phone, or onsite), time, and location come through on your application and by email. Turn on text notifications from your profile to also get a text for status changes and interview details — this requires verifying your phone number once (we send a real code to prove the number and carrier are right) before any texts go out.

Bookmark a listing from its page to come back to later without digging through search again — separate from applying, and visible only to you.

An account is either a job seeker or an employer, not silently both at once — pick a side when you sign up, so your job search and someone reviewing candidates are never the same login. If you delete your account, it's recoverable for 30 days before it's permanently removed — sign back in and choose “Restore my account” on your account page any time before then to cancel the deletion.

Create an organization, then submit verification (your tax ID and a supporting document) before you can publish a live job — you can build and save jobs as drafts while that review is pending. This exists to keep the job board real: it's a requirement CallingCard puts on every employer, not a paid feature or a marketing badge.

Fill in the role, requirements, and compensation, then publish when it's ready — or save it as a draft first. A handful of states legally require a posted pay range before a job can go live; CallingCard checks for that automatically and tells you if yours needs one before it'll let you publish.

Build a custom form — short text, long text, email, phone, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, file upload, signature, or plain instructions — and attach it to any job posting. I-9, W-4, and background-check consent ship as ready-made upload templates instead of custom fields, since those are legally regulated documents. Every submission is exportable as a PDF.

Applicants are automatically ranked against a job's required skills and experience with the same explainable score candidates see on their side — no black-box AI screening, and nothing to configure. Add private notes and move an application through statuses (Reviewing, Interview, Offer, Rejected) as you work the pipeline; most status changes notify the applicant automatically by email, and by text if they've opted in.

Anyone on your team can vouch for a candidate by email, before or after that person applies. It's tracked as a visible, labeled referral on the application rather than folded silently into their match score, so you always know who on your team already knows them.

Invite teammates by email with no per-seat charge. Roles control what someone can touch:

• Owner — full access, including billing and the one account that can transfer ownership.
• Admin — everything except transferring ownership: settings, billing, verification, team.
• Manager — runs every job posting and can fully review applicants, but doesn't touch the org's back office.
• Recruiter — full applicant review (notes, statuses, scorecards) on every job, but can't edit or publish postings.
• Interviewer — the narrowest role: sees applicant materials and submits their own interview scorecard, but never notes, statuses, or another interviewer's opinion.
• Recovery — a standing account-recovery contact who can trigger a password reset for a locked-out teammate. Limited to one per org.

Which of these you can assign depends on plan — Free and Growth offer Owner/Admin (Growth adds Manager); Scale adds Recruiter and Interviewer for teams that want tighter, partial-access control.

Each interviewer submits their own recommendation (from “strong no” to “strong yes”) with notes, kept separate per interviewer rather than averaged into one number. An Interviewer-role teammate can't see anyone else's scorecard — deliberately, so one person's read never anchors another's.

Applicants are promised a response within 7 days of applying — and at every stage after that, not just the first one. A job with an application that's gone stale past that window starts sinking in search results; past 14 days it also shows applicants a visible “Slow to respond” notice; past 21 days it's hidden from public search entirely. None of this touches the job's actual status — it still shows “Published” on your dashboard the whole time — and it's fully self-correcting: respond, and the job reappears and climbs back on its own.

Your reports page shows a per-job view-to-applicant funnel, response-time stats, and an activity log for your own postings and applications. Organizations with at least 15 applications and a strong response rate also appear on the public response-time leaderboard, where the top 3 fastest responders earn a discount on that month's plan (75% off for #1, 50% for #2, 25% for #3).

Generate an API key from your organization dashboard to manage job postings and applicant statuses from your own systems — an ATS, a scheduling tool, a nightly sync job. See the API docs for endpoints and request shapes.

Every plan gets unlimited applicants, unlimited team members, custom screening forms, skill matching, referrals, and analytics — see the full breakdown on pricing. The only thing that actually changes between plans is how many jobs you can have published at once:

• Free ($0/mo) — 1 published job at a time.
• Growth ($99/mo) — 10 published jobs at a time.
• Scale ($299/mo) — unlimited published jobs at a time.

Closing a filled role frees its slot immediately — the limit is about how many are live at once, not a lifetime cap. Need a few more without moving up a plan? Extra slots are $25/mo each on Growth.

Growth and Scale are coming soon and can't be purchased yet — Free is fully open in the meantime, with no credit card required.

Change or cancel a plan any time from your organization's membership page. Downgrades apply immediately at no charge.

Every employer submits a tax ID and supporting document before they can publish a live job — reviewed by CallingCard, not self-certified. A verified badge on a company page means this review actually happened, not just that the org filled in a profile.

A small number of company and job listings on the site are seeded examples, not real employers — used to show what CallingCard looks like in use. These are always labeled with an “Example” badge wherever they appear publicly, so they're never mistaken for a genuine listing.
