Career Mode overview

Career Mode turns daily.dev into a talent agent that works for you. When it's on, daily.dev looks for roles that fit your skills, preferences and goals, shows them to you in private, and introduces you to the hiring team only when both sides want to talk.

It's free for developers, and you can switch it off at any time in Job preferences.

What makes it different

• No recruiter spam. Recruiters can't message you through Career Mode. You only hear about a role when daily.dev thinks it's worth your time.
• Private until you say yes. Turning on Career Mode doesn't put you in a searchable database. Companies can't browse developers or see that you're open to offers.
• Signal, not noise. There's no job board to scroll. Each match is chosen for you based on your CV, your preferences and what you do on daily.dev, and comes with a short explanation of why it fits.

How it works

1. You set up Career Mode. Choose whether you're actively looking or just open to offers, upload your CV and tell us what you want. See Setting up Career Mode.
2. You get a match. When a role fits, you get a "new job match" notification and the role appears on your Jobs page.
3. You review the job in private. The job page shows the role, the company, the salary range when the company shares it, and why we think you'll like it. No one knows you've been matched unless you say yes.
4. You say "Interested" or "Not for me". If you're interested, you answer a few short questions. If not, you can tell us why so future matches improve.
5. We check real mutual interest. daily.dev reviews the match and shares your details with the hiring team, who decide whether they want to move forward.
6. We make a warm intro. If both sides say yes, we connect you by email (and push, if you turn it on). From there you talk to the company directly.
