Wobo Guide: How to Optimize Your Profile for Maximum Job Matches
10 Jan 2025
Wobo is a revolutionary AI-based personal recruiter designed to simplify your job search by creating a customized profile—known as the Wobo Persona—and using it to match you with the best opportunities. Through continuous learning, Wobo becomes increasingly accurate and efficient in aligning with your preferences, offering you better matches over time. Here's how you can make the most out of your Wobo experience.
Step 1: Set Up Your Profile for Success
Your profile is the backbone of your Wobo Persona. Filling it out accurately and thoroughly ensures Wobo understands your career needs and preferences. The profile is divided into four sections:
Personal Details: Provide accurate information such as your name, location, and resume. These details help Wobo tailor your applications and improve your persona's relevance.
Job Preferences: Clearly define your desired roles, preferred locations, and salary expectations. Pay special attention to the Job Titles section:
Use industry-standard titles that match job listings. For instance, a title like "Congress Engagement" does not exist in the job market, which means Wobo will struggle to find any matches for such entries. Similarly, overly broad or vague titles like "Learning" do not align well with typical job descriptions. In contrast, specific and widely recognized roles like "Software Developer" or "Business Analyst" will yield better results.
Niche roles can still be used, but keep in mind they may result in fewer job matches since they are less common. You can add titles that are not in the dropdown menu by typing them into the input field and pressing Enter.
Validate your job title by typing it into LinkedIn's search bar and checking if the exact title appears in the results. If you see a good number of job listings with that title, it's likely a strong choice for Wobo. This ensures your title aligns with market demand—just like the example shown in the image!
Select from the dropdown list of Wobo-recommended titles, as these represent the most in-demand roles in the current job market, ensuring better matching and higher chances of success.
As you can see in this image, there are no jobs listed with the title 'Congress Engagement' in the market. Companies use different titles for this role.
Education and Work Experience: Include all relevant experience, even those you might omit from your resume. This section enriches your persona, making it more likely for Wobo to craft strong applications tailored to your background.
Custom Questions: Answer these behavioural and situational questions thoughtfully. Your responses are crucial in helping Wobo create personalized cover letters and application responses.
Step 2: Optimize Your Job Preferences
The level of detail in your preferences significantly impacts Wobo's ability to find suitable matches. While specificity can be helpful, overly rigid criteria may limit your options. For instance, setting preferences such as "insurance lawyer in Wyoming earning over $200k" might make it nearly impossible for Wobo to find roles, as these jobs are rare in the market.
To improve Wobo's effectiveness:
Be Flexible with Preferences: The more open your preferences (e.g., location, job titles, salary range), the more opportunities Wobo can identify for you. Conversely, highly specific or narrow preferences may result in fewer matches.
Location: Wobo primarily supports North America and Europe. If you're based in a region with fewer opportunities, such as Belgium, enable remote work options to expand your possibilities.
Job Titles: Select titles that align with market demand and are supported within Wobo’s system. Widely recognized roles such as "Product Manager" or "QA Analyst" increase your chances of finding relevant opportunities.
Step 3: Use Feedback to Improve Your Experience with Wobo
Wobo makes it super easy to share feedback so it can get better at finding and applying to jobs for you. Here's how you can use this feature to make Wobo even smarter:
1. Rate Your Job Matches
After Wobo applies to a job, you'll see a thumbs-up or thumbs-down button next to each listing in your dashboard.
If it’s a good match: Click the thumbs-up! This tells Wobo it’s on the right track.
If it’s not quite right: Click the thumbs-down, and let us know why—maybe the salary was too low, the job title didn’t fit, or it wasn’t in the right location.
2. Give Feedback on Application Answers
Wobo writes answers to application questions using your Wobo Persona. After an application goes out, you’ll have the chance to review the answers:
Was the answer good? If not, a pop-up will ask, "How do you think Wobo should have answered this question?" Your suggestion will help improve future responses.
3. Why Your Feedback Matters
Your input is super valuable. Every time you give feedback, Wobo learns and gets better at finding jobs you’ll actually like.
Over time, Wobo uses this feedback to fine-tune how it matches jobs and answers application questions, so your experience keeps improving.
By taking a few seconds to share your thoughts, you’re helping Wobo become a smarter, more effective job-hunting partner. Plus, it’ll mean better matches and stronger applications for you in the future!
Step 4: Leverage Wobo's Features
Maximize your experience by utilizing Wobo's powerful tools:
Automated Applications: Once your profile is complete, Wobo will start applying to jobs on your behalf. Ensure your email forwarding is properly set up to allow seamless processing.
AI Cover Letters: Premium users benefit from custom cover letters tailored to each job. Others can use the cover letter generator for unlimited drafts.
Dashboard Transparency: Regularly review your job queue to monitor Wobo’s progress. You can also blacklist companies to prevent applications to organizations you wish to avoid.
Tips for Common Challenges
Improving Job Matches: Ensure your job titles and preferences are aligned with market standards. If mismatched roles appear in your queue, Wobo's filtering process will typically exclude them before applying.
ATS-Friendly Resumes: If your resume score is low, consider switching to an ATS-compliant template to increase visibility to recruiters.
Customization Options: Regularly update your profile to reflect changes in your preferences or experience.

By providing detailed and accurate inputs while maintaining flexibility in your preferences, you empower Wobo to find better matches and streamline your job search.
