FAQ
Our goal is to provide jobseekers the information they need to make the best career decisions and see this as the best way to improve the search experience for all parties involved (jobseeker, recruiter, hiring manager).
A well informed jobseeker knows what jobs they’re qualified for, what experience they need to add to be qualified, what companies they want to work for, and overall have a good understanding of what jobs they’re a fit for. They use this understanding to focus their time on building skills and targeting specific jobs versus investing that time applying to a high number of jobs hoping to hit the lottery. This leads to a higher success rate on applications, less ghosting from employers, and less frustration around the reasons for an unsuccessful job search.
The result for employers are higher quality candidates and less unqualified ones. Using a common analogy, it’s a smaller hay stack with more needles in it.
This means time saved for both the jobseeker and employer. Less frustration in the search process. Overall, better outcomes for all parties with less stress along the way.
Our Jobtree and Pathfinder career path tools show you the actual career paths our users are taking. Search for a role you are interested in and we’ll build you an interactive career path showing you the most common steps people are taking based on hundreds of thousands of real career profiles in our database.
Use these tools to build context and inspiration on what different career paths are like. They show you connections you didn’t consider and re-calibrate your expectations on the next career step.
It is a combination of publicly available, proprietary, and user provided career data. It spans thousands of unique roles across many industries, schools, education backgrounds and companies. We aggregate this data together to deliver faster, more meaningful and data driven career insights while preserving the privacy of our users.
With your help we can expand this data source further by adding your career history to your profile. It will allow you to track the roles from your job history while navigating the site and enable you to check your potential fit with any role or job.
The data will also help contribute to creating a more robust experience for you and other users. In order to unlock a new role or filter for a role, we need a minimum amount of data to ensure the data stays anonymous and the paths are representative of a meaningful enough sample. This means the data you provide helps to open up more features for you and other users.

Employers can expect Jobtrees to provide better prepared candidates, facilitate a more seamless candidate/employer experience and all at a lower total cost to hire.
We are a jobseeker focused career site as that’s the most effective approach we see to providing the best experience for the jobseeker and employers. Employers generally know what skills and experience they’re looking for but many jobseekers don’t which leads to a high volume of applications and low rates of interviews and hire. We help employers by guiding the jobseeker on what it takes to match for a job and what they need to gain to improve their match. This means less unqualified applicants and better prepared qualified ones.
There is no cost to open an account or post a job. We take active steps to drive qualified traffic to all job postings especially when they aren’t a natural fit with our normal user traffic. That is provided at no charge. We believe it’s our responsibility to ensure jobseekers see your job postings. We only charge employers when we deliver results. That occurs when potential candidates either 1) complete an evaluation for the job or 2) when they apply for the job. The pricing for each of these actions is below. We do not charge employers for when potential candidates just look at a role (clicks). We do not charge for each day the job is visible. We encourage our users to be curious and believe that employers should only pay for those that are serious about their posted job.
- Per Evaluation: $0.25
- Per Application: $9.70
- Per Click: $0
- Per Day: $0
- Total cost for an applicant is less than $10
You only pay for positive results. Applicants and for redirecting interested but unqualified applicants (the eval).
Our pricing beats the cost for results on other sites if you choose to compare.
It’s free to set up and is linked to a standard Jobtrees account. Click on the Employer link in the top navigation menu and select the Start Hiring Now button. This will prompt you to sign into a Jobtrees standard account. Once signed in you’ll be prompted to provide some basic company info and once submitted, your employer account is ready.
If you want to share the account with multiple users, we suggest you create a Jobtrees standard account using a shared email address. The email and password that is linked to your employer account will need to be used by all users to access the employer account (we don’t have separate account logins currently). There is no limit to the number of users that can use this simultaneously but we don’t yet have the ability for multiple emails to be tagged to 1 employer account log-in. You will have the ability to tag unique email addresses to each job posting but the account log-in is a shared account.
