From one 10-minute profile to a warm intro with the right hiring manager
4job.com doesn't push you into vacancies. We score thousands of companies against who you are and where you want to go, explain every score in plain words, and introduce you only where you say yes.
Four steps. You stay in control at every one.
Here is exactly what happens, who does what, and how long it takes.
Profile interview
A guided interview that goes far beyond a CV.
Answer questions about your skills, best achievements, salary floor, preferred team size, working style and deal-breakers.
Turn your answers into a structured profile and benchmark your current pay against your role, level and city.
Company intelligence
We know the companies before you ever talk to them.
Nothing. Optionally flag companies you love or never want to see, including your current employer.
Pull live data on 6,500+ employers: pay bands, growth, retention, hiring speed and how past 4job.com candidates progressed.
Match scoring
A ranked shortlist with the reasoning behind every score.
Review your shortlist, read why each company fits, and mark the ones you want to meet.
Score every company on 40+ signals, then a consultant from your industry checks the top matches by hand.
Warm introduction
Skip the application pile. Go straight to the decision-maker.
Approve each intro, prepare with your consultant, and meet the hiring manager.
Introduce you personally, brief you on the team, and negotiate the offer on your side at no cost.
What the engine actually weighs
Four core dimensions carry most of the score. A further layer of context signals — location and remote policy, team size, company stability — filters out anything that won't work for your life.
Skills & stack
- Core skills and depth of experience
- Tools, stack and certifications
- Domain knowledge of the industry
- Scale of past projects and teams
- Languages spoken at work
- Gaps the company can help you close
Career growth path
- Your target role in 2–3 years
- Promotion speed of past hires
- Management vs. expert track
- Learning budget and mentoring
- Company growth rate
- Internal mobility between teams
Compensation vs. goal
- Real pay band for your level
- Your salary floor and target
- Bonus, equity and allowances
- Pay review frequency
- Benefits, pension and insurance
- Relocation package, if needed
Culture & working style
- Pace and decision-making style
- Manager style of the hiring lead
- Autonomy vs. structure
- Meeting load and async culture
- Working hours and on-call
- Retention of people like you
Every score comes with a reason you can read
This is the real breakdown Elena Markou, an ML engineer in Limassol, saw before she chose Northwave AI. No black box: if a score is low, we tell you why — and whether it matters for you.
The overall match is a weighted average of the four dimensions. You can change the weights in your profile at any time — for example, put compensation first.
Read Elena's full story →Your PyTorch and recommender-systems work matches their core product. They need someone who has shipped models to production — you have, twice.
You want a staff-level expert track. Two of their last three ML hires reached senior staff within 24 months.
Their band for your level starts 34% above your current pay and 12% above your stated floor, plus an annual equity refresh.
Async-first with two meeting-free days, as you asked. One watch-out: quarterly on-site weeks in Limassol.
Why candidates stop sending applications

Look around without anyone knowing
Most of our candidates are employed when they sign up. Stealth mode is on by default, and nothing about you leaves 4job.com until you say yes to a specific company.
Read our privacy policy →Who decides which companies I'm introduced to?
You do. The engine ranks companies and a consultant reviews the shortlist, but no introduction is ever made without your explicit approval for that specific company.
What if none of my matches feel right?
Tell us why. Every "not for me" adjusts your weights, and your consultant can rebalance the profile with you. Most candidates get a sharper shortlist within a few days.
Do companies pay to rank higher?
No. Employers pay a fee only when they hire. Match scores cannot be bought, boosted or sponsored.
How accurate are the salary numbers?
Pay bands come from verified offers and placements across 6,500+ employers and are refreshed monthly. When data for a company is thin, the score says so.
Can I pause or delete my profile?
Yes. Pause matching with one toggle, or delete your profile and all associated data in one click from your settings.
