**What is Zorlya?**

Zorlya is an AI job search for job seekers in any country. It reads jobs from 130+ sources and scores each one against your resume with written reasons. It also has a resume builder, tailored cover letters, interview prep and an application board. It is free for job seekers, with no card.

**Does Zorlya have a resume builder?**

Yes. The resume editor lets you build, edit and tailor a resume in one place. Pick a layout (ATS, European or Modern), keep a tailored copy for each job and export a PDF. Tailor suggests edits for one job, and you accept or skip each one. Nothing changes until you choose.

**Can Zorlya help me prepare for an interview?**

Yes. Open any job and run interview prep. Zorlya writes eight practice questions for that role with STAR outlines drawn from your own experience, and you can copy them or write them again. It is one of the writing tools with a monthly allowance.

**How do I track job applications with Zorlya?**

Use the Applications board. It has five stages: Interested, Applied, Interviewing, Offered and Rejected. Add a card from any job or by hand, mark a job as applied, then drag the card as things change. Each card keeps notes, events and documents, and the Analytics page shows your funnel.

**Can Zorlya write a cover letter?**

Yes. Open a job and choose cover letter. Zorlya drafts it from your own resume and the posting, in a formal, warm or concise tone, from 120 to 600 words. Nothing is sent for you: you read the draft, copy or download it, and send it when you approve.

**What AI tools are free?**

The Free plan has the job feed, scores with reasons and the application board, with no card. It also gives a monthly allowance in each writing tool: cover letters, resume tailoring, interview prep, outreach, the resume builder and job analysis. Paid plans add room in those tools. The feed and tracker stay free.

**What happens to my resume?**

It is parsed into fields and turned into embeddings so jobs can be scored against it, for your account only. It stays until you delete it or close your account.

**Is my resume shown to employers?**

No. Nothing reaches an employer unless you apply to them yourself or choose to be found in the talent pool. The talent pool is opt-in: it shows no name or current employer until you accept a contact request.

**Which AI providers see my text?**

By default the models run on Cloudflare Workers AI, inside the same Cloudflare account that hosts Zorlya, and the embeddings are made there too. Other providers, such as OpenAI and Anthropic, receive text only as a fallback when one is set up for the platform or you choose it for your account. They get the excerpts a task needs, not your whole account. The privacy policy names every provider.

**How do I delete my account and data?**

Resume files, cover letters, saved jobs and applications can each be deleted in the app. To close the account, open Settings, Privacy, choose Delete account and enter your password: the account is deleted at once and the resume, its embeddings, letters and applications go with it. Download my data, in the same place, gives you a copy first.

**What stays private?**

Your resume, profile, scores, notes and applications are visible only to your account. A job you add from a link or pasted text is private too: no other seeker, search or public page includes it, and it is deleted with your account.

**How is the match score calculated?**

Four dimensions: resume fit, skills match, salary fit and location fit, plus seniority when a posting states a level. Each comes with its reason.

**What counts as a good score?**

80 and up is an excellent match, 65 to 79 good, 45 to 64 fair, and under 45 low. The reasons matter more than the band: a 70 with a clear gap you can close may be worth more than an 82.

**Is there an ATS resume checker?**

There is a free resume checker at /resume-checker. It needs no account and keeps no file. It scores how complete and readable a resume is, and it is not an ATS score. After you sign in, each job also has an ATS check that lists the skills the posting asks for that your profile has and the ones it lacks. It compares keywords. It does not simulate any one ATS and it does not check the layout of your file.

**Can I add a job that is not in my feed?**

Yes, after you sign in. Paste the link to a posting, its text, or both, and Zorlya saves it as a private job in your account. A link on its own makes Zorlya read the title and employer from the page. If that fails, paste the text. An added job counts toward your saved jobs limit, which the pricing page lists for each plan, and an account holds at most 200 private jobs.

**Which profile links can I add?**

LinkedIn, GitHub, WordPress.org, Facebook, a portfolio and other. Each link has a type, so Zorlya knows what it is. Connected GitHub and WordPress.org profiles add public work the score can draw on.

**How is the match score different from a keyword check?**

The score reads your experience entries, not only the skills list, so work you did counts even when the keyword is missing. The ATS check on a job is the keyword comparison, and it sits next to the score.

**Where do the jobs come from?**

130+ sources, made up of public job boards and applicant tracking systems. A few need a key and stay off until one is set, and some readers return no jobs at times, so the jobs you see depend on what each source holds that day. The public site lists no jobs. They appear in the app after you sign in.

**Why are the large social job networks not included?**

Zorlya reads a site only where its terms allow automated reading. Where they do not, it does not read the site. You can still add a single posting from any link yourself.

**How often is the feed refreshed?**

Each source is read by an ingestion run on its own schedule, not when you open a page.

**Can I suggest a source or an employer?**

Yes. The suggest a company page, linked from every country page, has a form that takes a name, a country and a website, and needs no account. A person on the team reads each suggestion and approves or rejects it. An approved employer is checked later for a hiring system Zorlya reads. To suggest a job board, write to support@zorlya.com with a link. A source is added only if its terms allow automated reading.

**Who can sign up?**

Any job seeker. Every account is verified by email: enter the code we send you and your account opens.

**How do I sign in?**

With an email and password, with Google, with GitHub, or with a passkey you add in Settings.

**Is it free?**

Yes. The Free plan covers the whole job search and asks for no card. Plus and Pro are optional paid plans with higher monthly allowances for the writing tools. A new charge or a price change is announced at least 30 days before it applies. Companies have a Free plan. Team and Business plans exist for more seats and contact requests. See the pricing pages for job seekers and for companies.

**When does my account open?**

Every account is verified by email: enter the code we send you and your account opens. Google and GitHub confirm your address themselves, so there is no code to enter.

**Can I cancel or get a refund?**

The free plan never charges you, so there is nothing to refund. If you choose a paid plan, you can cancel from Plan in Settings, and it stays active until the end of the paid period. A company can cancel a paid plan any time and it stays active until the end of the paid period. Freemius sells the paid plans and handles refunds under its refund policy, shown at checkout.

**Do companies pay?**

The Free plan has 3 seats and 5 posted roles. Team and Business are paid plans in US dollars through Freemius. The company pricing page says whether they are on sale.

**Is there a browser extension?**

Not yet. A Zorlya browser extension is planned and in development. It is in no store, so do not install anything that claims to be it.

**How do I reach support?**

Use the form on the contact page, or write to support@zorlya.com. You get a ticket number by email and a reply within two working days. No account is needed. Signed-in users can also open a ticket from Support in the app.

**Can I connect Claude or another AI client?**

Yes, on the Pro plan. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Cursor are on Zorlya's list and can connect over OAuth at mcp.zorlya.com. Any other app is refused. We have not tried the ChatGPT connection ourselves, and its guide says what is unconfirmed. AI client connections are part of the Pro plan; the pricing page lists them.

**What can a connected client do?**

It works as the one account you choose when you connect: for a job seeker, search your feed, read a match and work with applications; for hiring, support and staff accounts, their own tools. It can do only what the permission level you pick allows.

**Can a client change my applications?**

Only if you choose Read and change on the Connect page. Read only is the default.

**How do I disconnect a client?**

Settings, Integrations, then Disconnect next to the client. The email Zorlya sends when you connect also links to your connections.

**Does Zorlya keep a record of what an AI app does?**

Yes. Requests made through AI apps are logged with their contents. The privacy policy says what is kept and for how long.
