Watch it work

The real app on a demo account: the morning overview, a match explained, the applications board, an ATS check and the resume builder.

How it works

  1. Tell it about you

    Your roles, results and skills in plain words, or an old CV. This becomes the only thing it writes from.

  2. It searches every morning

    Job sites and company career pages, before you are up. The same job posted on three sites becomes one.

  3. It keeps the jobs you can take

    Worldwide, Africa, EMEA or a time zone window that includes yours. Each match says why it stayed.

  4. Scouta drafts, you send

    A fit note, a tailored CV and a cover letter for the best matches. Nothing goes out until you press the button.

Most remote jobs are not remote for you

A posting that says remote often means remote inside one country. JobScoutar reads the fine print on every one, so you only spend time on the jobs you can actually take.

From one morning's search, 5 November 2026, checked against Lagos, UTC+1.

7,602postings read from 17 job sources and company career pages
5,845left once the same job on several sites became one
2,974said remote
72%of those were closed to someone in Nigeria (2,143 postings)
1,706were open to someone in Nigeria, remote or based here

Closed means the posting needs a US or EU work permit, names countries that leave Nigeria out, or sets a time zone window too far from UTC+1.

Everything from the first search to the interview

These are real screens from JobScoutar, showing a demo account with made up employer names.

Your morning, already sorted

  • New matches since yesterday, with where each one is based
  • Drafts waiting for you and follow ups due today
  • The skills your matches ask for that your CV is missing

Every match explains itself

A score with its reasons, remote or hybrid, full time or contract, where you can work from, and pay when the posting states it. Pay quoted as a US range is marked, so you know what it means for an offer in Nigeria.

  • The reasons behind every score
  • Remote, hybrid or on site; full time or contract
  • Pay stated in the posting, labelled when it is a US range

Follow ups that do not slip

Move each job across the board as it goes. Seven days without a reply and it reminds you, twice at most. Moving a job to Interviewing builds an interview prep pack for that exact role.

  • A board from ready to apply to offer
  • A reminder after seven days with no reply, twice at most
  • An interview prep pack when a job moves to Interviewing
The applications board: ready to apply, applied, interviewing and offer, with two follow ups due

Seven templates, read the same by software and people

Every template prints real text in reading order, so an applicant tracking system reads it top to bottom. Change the colour, the font and the sections; the pages break where the PDF does.

Scouta writes from your facts. Never past them.

Scouta is the AI inside JobScoutar. It drafts and edits only from what you told it and what is already on your resume. A job posting can change what comes first. It can never add a skill, a number or a title you do not have, because a recruiter who catches one invented line stops believing the rest.

The posting asks for

Kafka Kubernetes Go

Ada's resume has

Kubernetes

Scouta's tailored summary

Leads with Kubernetes: 40 services moved to EKS with zero customer facing downtime. Kafka and Go go on your gap list, not into your CV.

Priced for where you live

Questions

Does JobScoutar apply for me?

No. It finds, sorts and drafts. You read every draft and press Send or Submit yourself. That is on purpose: an application with your name on it should never go out unseen.

How does it know I can take a job from Nigeria?

It reads each posting's location rules. Worldwide, Africa, EMEA, or a time zone window that includes yours all count. Roles open in one country only, and posts that need US or EU work authorization, are left out. Every match shows the reason it stayed.

Which jobs does it look for?

Remote roles, and roles based in Nigeria and the rest of Africa, from job sites and from company career pages directly. It matches them to the roles and skills in your profile. Today it is strongest for software, DevOps, cloud and data roles.

Will Scouta make things up to get me the job?

No. Scouta only writes what your notes and your resume already say. If a posting asks for something you do not have, it goes on your gap list, not into your CV or your cover letter.

Do I have to give it my job board passwords?

No. JobScoutar never signs in anywhere as you. It reads public job postings, and you apply on the employer's site yourself.

When can I start?

JobScoutar is in private testing now. Join the waitlist and we will email you once, when your account is ready.

Is JobScoutar free?

The Free plan stays free: the resume builder with every template, PDF downloads, share links, your top five matches each morning and three ATS checks a month. Pro adds every match, Scouta's drafts and unlimited checks.

Will my resume get past applicant tracking systems?

Every template prints real, selectable text in reading order, with standard section titles, which is what these systems read. Run the ATS check against the posting before you send it to see what they will find.

Can I start from my old CV?

Yes. Paste it into Build with Scouta as your notes and it drafts a new resume from what it says, or check the old one against a posting first. The ATS check reads PDF, Word and plain text files.

Does it write cover letters too?

Yes, one for each strong match, written only from your profile, with a fit note that says why the job fits and where it does not.

Do I download a PDF or a Word file?

A PDF, which almost every application portal takes and which keeps your layout exactly as you made it.

Your search stays yours

  • Nothing goes out without you. No application is submitted and no email is sent until you press the button.
  • No passwords. We never ask for your job board or email passwords.
  • Links you control. A shared resume is hidden from search engines, can be switched off at any time, and stops working when you delete the resume.
  • Deleted means gone. Delete a resume or an ATS check and it is removed, not hidden.
  • Not for sale. We do not sell your data and we do not show you ads.
