Questions & answers
What is Sift?
Sift is an AI-powered job search tool that pulls jobs from 14 sources, scores each one against your profile, helps you tailor your resume per role, and tracks your entire application pipeline in one place.
How is Sift different from Teal, Huntr, or LazyApply?
Most job search tools optimize for volume — apply to more jobs, faster. Sift optimizes for precision. Instead of sending 500 generic applications, Sift helps you send 12 tailored ones that actually get responses.
What job sources does Sift connect to?
LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Y Combinator, Wellfound, Hacker News, Google Jobs, TheMuse, Adzuna, JSearch, RSS feeds, and manual paste. 14 sources total, with more being added.
How does AI matching work?
When you add a job, Sift's AI reads the job description and scores it 0-100 against your profile — skills alignment, experience level, location fit, compensation range, and industry preferences. You see your top matches ranked, not a firehose.
Is my data safe?
Your data is stored in a secure Supabase Postgres database. If you bring your own Anthropic API key, it's encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage and only decrypted at call time. Sift never sells or shares your data.
What does the free tier include?
3 job sources, 50 AI match scores per month, 5 resume tailorings, 2 cover letters, manual sync, and 30 days of pipeline history. No credit card required.
When is Pro launching?
Pro is coming soon at $19/month ($179/year). It includes unlimited sources, 500 match scores, unlimited tailorings and cover letters, automated daily sync, and priority support. Students with a .edu email get 50% off.
