# What is arco? AI-Powered Job Search, Explained

> arco is an AI-powered job search assistant that finds jobs across multiple boards, scores every role honestly against your experience, and helps you apply with confidence.

arco is an AI-powered job search assistant. Instead of you refreshing five job boards every morning, arco searches them for you, scores every role against your actual experience, and tells you honestly which ones are worth your time.

## arco does three things

1. **Finds jobs across multiple sources.** arco queries LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and regional job boards so you don't have to check each one manually.
2. **Scores each one 0–100 against your profile and CV.** This is not keyword matching. arco reads the posting and assesses how well your background fits the actual requirements.
3. **Helps you apply through the AI Coach.** The Coach audits your CV against a specific role, suggests rewrites, and stress-tests the result before you submit.

You also get a **Pipeline** to track every application from discovery through to offer or rejection.

## What makes it different

* **It scores honestly.** A 42 is a 42. arco flags gaps before you waste an hour on an application you won't be shortlisted for.
* **It reads the whole posting.** Flags come from the actual description, not the job title.
* **Built around one CV, then per-role variants.** You maintain a single master CV. When you want to target a specific role, the Coach helps you create a variant without replacing your main document.

## What arco is not

* arco is not a job board you browse. It searches for you and brings results to you.
* arco does not apply on your behalf. It prepares you to apply with a stronger CV.
* arco is not a resume template tool. It optimizes what you already have for specific roles.
