Question 1

Why do you ask for experience in a specialization area?

Accepted Answer

Your experience in specialization area helps us match with the right jobs. This helps in roles such as Product Management or Data Science where people move after working in some other fields.

This helps us match someone with "7 year industry experience but just 1 year experience in Data Science" with a job that needs 0 to 1 year experience in Data Science.

Question 2

What are the credits and cash I see in my account?

Accepted Answer

A platform such as CutShort gets more useful when more users join it. More users means you get more opportunities to hire or find a great job.

You have helped us. It's our turn to say thank you.

A big reason behind our success has been our happy users telling their friends about us. What makes us feel good is that they have done it to help their friends or us, without expecing anything in return.

But now, we think we should have some ways to reward our users.

Here are two ways to get rewarded

CutShort Credits Now, when you start using and referring CutShort to your friends, you will earn "credits" that can be redeemed while upgrading your subscription on the platform.

As of 15th October, the rewards are:

INR 50/- credits for every friend who completes sign up (email and phone verification)
INR 50/- extra credits if a referred friend starts exploring opportunities via CutShort (i.e. creates a talent card on the platform)
INR 300/- extra credits if a referred friend is accepted as an employer on CutShort and adds a job for the first time

Note that these credits can only be redeemed against purchases on the CutShort platform. Also, note that this program is based on good will - any credits earned via misuse such as inviting friends with no real intention to hire or look for opportunities may be nullified at our discretion, even after you have used them.

Question 3

How does my AI assistant help me find a job?

Accepted Answer

Finding a job is unnecessarily too much work. Tracking relevant jobs, applying for jobs, following up with companies and so on.

Voila, your professional assistant saves you all the hassle. It alerts you the moment it sees a relevant job.

Some example replies:

"I want to apply" to apply for a job
"Stop job alerts" to stop your job search
"Get better matches" to update your settings

You can do this from your inbox - no need to login or find options in the user interface.
